Adjusting the spring tension on a garage door is a crucial maintenance task that ensures the door operates smoothly, safely, and lasts longer. Garage door springs counterbalance the weight of the door, making it easier to lift and preventing it from crashing down.
When the spring tension is properly adjusted, the door should open and close effortlessly, without any jerking or binding. Over time, however, springs can stretch or weaken, affecting the door’s balance and potentially leading to safety hazards.
