How Does a Garage Door Work?
A garage door is run by a counterbalance system that employs a force to balance the weight (the door). There’re two types of system largely being used in the garage doors, and both rely on the springs for the assisting force required to keep the door in its place. These two system are known as Extension Spring System and Torsion Spring System. Although the both systems perform the same job of offsetting the door, their placement on the door is what makes them different from each other.
