- Consider the type of spring:
There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion springs and tension springs.

The durability of a spring is directly related to its service life and performance. Often, the material and manufacturing process of a spring affect its durability. High-quality steel and professional manufacturing ensure long-term stable operation of the spring and reduce the frequency of replacement.

Choosing the correct spring size and spring rate is very important. The size of the spring needs to match the size of the garage door, and the spring rate affects the amount of force the spring provides.
