Garage Door Spring

Garage Door Spring - A torsion tension spring is located above the garage door (in closed position). This metal coiled elastic wire holds tension when wound and unwound provides energy for a controlled motion for an opening closing garage door. It holds energy and distributes energy through the motion of twisting. It is a dangerous procedure to replace torsion springs that should be done by a garage door professional technician. The correct springs for the correct door weight will give the appropriate balance. The spring allows the door to open and close. It holds the weight of the garage door and allows the door to be extremely light for manual operation or with a garage door opener.

Additional Information on springs and doors

I am familiar with a website that provides DIY instructions on how to install and or repair various parts of a garage door, including how to install torsion springs and extension springs. However, the website is commercial. The website provides the information freely to the public, and I am able to get permission to cite the information on this page. My question is, since it is from a commercial seller of garage door springs and parts, would using this information as a reference be appropriate? The company is DDM Garage Doors and the website is http://ddmgaragedoors.com/diy-instructions/ or another well qualified and documented company is DIY Garage Door Parts whose site would be http://www.diy-garage-door-parts.com/how-to-replace-garage-door-torsion-spring/ and site owner has also provided permission.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsubasagurei (talk • contribs) 17:41, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

1. Links to commercial sites are heavily discouraged (WP:SPAM). Having said that, it is recognised that sometimes the only source of a cite is a commercial website.

2. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a 'how to' manual (WP:NOHOWTO).

Garage Entry Door

Perhaps a mention and picture explaining what to call the door humans go through is warranted. I came here looking for the term/words for it. https://www.servicerollingdoor.site 21:04, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
