There are lots of garage door problems, but the most common is broken garage door springs. Springs carries the entire weight of your garage door, which is why if you discover they are broken you should call Virginia Garage Door Repair technicians immediately. Opting to repair your broken garage door springs can cause injuries to you or perhaps death in most cases, that is why we advise our esteemed customers not to attempt repairing their springs themselves

In today’s economy, we understand that people want to save more money, which is why Advanced Garage Doors LLC provides affordable prices on all garage door repairs. We are the best and we have been servicing Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia for a very long time and we have a long list of clients.

There are two basic types of garage door springs:

• Torsion Garage Door Springs:  Torsion springs are attached just above the closed garage door.
• Extension Garage Door Springs: The extension springs are located above the upper tracks on both sides of your garage door.

The two types of garage door springs we just discussed might sound similar but they work very different. A garage door with extension springs have safety cables on each side of the door running through the spring and attached to the wall. These cables are the safety feature.

Garage door springs are tightly wounded. This means that they are under a great deal of tension. That is why you shouldn’t repair your broken springs yourself because the information you get from one day tutorial on YouTube is not enough to fix your springs and secondly, you don’t have the right tool required for the job.
