Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are tightly coiled, but will uncoil when you lift the garage door or use your remote to do so. A strong beam located at the top of your garage door enables it to lift several hundred pounds each time the door opens and closes. When you command the garage door to close, its torsion springs return to a coiled position. These springs are small, but they can handle hundreds of pounds of pressure each. A broken torsion spring could cause serious injury or property damage when an inexperienced person tries to fix it.
