Garage door springs are an integral part of the doors opening mechanism. Without them the doors will simply not open, or if they do they will have to be suspended manually, a process which would be unnecessary and frustrating. This is why when ordering garage door springs it’s important to order the right kind, ones that will fit the garage door you own.
When ordering springs there are several details about the garage door that will help make the ordering process much quicker and easier. The information required is the following:
- The size of the garage door, width x height.
- Length of the spring over the coils.
- How many coils make up the spring.
- Diameter of the spring and wire.
- The colouring of the spring.
- What the door is made of, for example, metal, wood or GRP.
- Pattern or style of the door, for example, horizontal, vertical or Victorian.
