The springs on your garage door act as a counter-balance to the full weight of the door, allowing it to lift easily. When they break, it's usually too much for you or the opener to lift the door. Tip Top Garage Door carries a wide variety of replacement torsion and extension springs to match the equally wide variety of garage doors in the kern County. A tuned-up and balanced garage door will also reduce door and opener wear and tear. The garage door should also be inspected periodically and moving parts lubricated at least once a year.
