Understanding Garage Door Springs in Miami
Garage door springs are the critical component that counterbalances the weight of your door, allowing it to open and close safely and smoothly. There are two main types of springs, each functioning differently: torsion springs and extension springs.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are the most common type found in modern residential garages. They work by using torque-a twisting motion-to lift the door. Mounted horizontally above the door opening on a metal shaft, these tightly wound springs unwind to provide controlled lifting power. Torsion springs are known for their strength, smooth operation, and space-saving design. They are typically used for heavier doors and offer greater durability, but due to the high tension they operate under, replacement is a job strictly for trained professionals.
Extension Springs
Extension springs are typically mounted vertically on either side of the door track. They function by stretching (extending) to create the lifting force as the door opens. While still effective and often used in lighter doors or with certain track configurations, they generally operate with more visible movement and can be less suitable for very heavy garage doors. Like all springs, they wear out over time and require professional inspection and replacement to ensure safety.
Why Garage Door Springs Break in Miami’s Climate
Spring failure is inevitable due to wear, but Miami’s environment accelerates it. Key reasons include:
Cycle Fatigue: Every open/close cycle weakens the spring metal. Most springs are rated for a specific number of cycles.
Corrosion & Humidity: South Florida’s salt air and high humidity cause rust and corrosion, weakening the spring metal and leading to premature failure.
Lack of Maintenance: Without periodic lubrication and inspection, wear goes unnoticed until the spring snaps.
Poor Quality or Incorrect Springs: Springs that are the wrong size, weight rating, or material quality will fail faster and operate unsafely.
