Why should you convert garage door extension or torque to torsion spring?

The advanta​ges of the torsion spring system in Garage Door

• The torque Master System is not high quality because it has a plastic drum with thin cables tiny bearing plates and a thin spring whereas the torsion spring has high-quality materials made with steel.
• It will be much easier to replace a broken garage door spring. Whereas in Torque Master we need to replace everything. Call us if you are in need of a torsion spring replacement.
• You get fewer noises while operating the overhead garage doors with a torsion spring installed. While with Torque Master you will experience more noise levels while operating.
• Torsion springs are much more durable than your standard torque/extension spring, and torsion springs can last from 15,000 cycles, all the way to 20,000 cycles , but torque or extension springs can only last around 10,000 cycles.
• Torsion spring hardware does not rely on electricity like the Torque Master spring-type. In case of a power cut or any other electrical problem, you can manually open the door.
• A torsion spring contains the least parts which means there will less chance of something going wrong while operating.
• Torsion springs might be a little more expensive than torque springs but in the long run, torsion springs are what's worth it. And when you add in the fact that torsion springs are stronger than torque springs, it's no contest.
• The standard torsion spring is safest compared to other cables, extension springs and torque springs.

How to determine a torsion spring

A torsion spring is a type of spring that uses twisted coils to store energy. It is used in a wide variety of applications, from clocks and watches to garage door openers. If you need to replace a torsion spring, it is important to determine the size and type of spring you need.

There are several factors you need to consider when choosing a torsion spring. Including the weight of the object being lifted, the amount of torque required, and the available space. Each garage needs at least one torsion spring, but if it's a much heavier door then 2 springs are needed. One thing to remember is the spring will be loose when tensioned and one of the other springs may need to be adjusted.

Torsion springs are a popular choice for garage door openers because they are relatively inexpensive and can store a lot of energy compared with other types of springs.
