The garage door torsion spring is located above the garage door. Pictured above is a torsion spring setup. The garage door springs are two springs above the garage door or one spring depending upon the size of the garage door. There are also extension springs that have a different setup. Extension springs are ran on the side of the track. The torsion spring setup is the most common setup of garage door springs. Pictured above is a pair of garage door springs that are in good working order. If you look closely at the picture you will find the emergency pull string for the garage door opener and the attachment from the opener shaft to the garage door. If your spring is broke we recommend pulling the emergency garage door opener string and opening the garage door by lifting the door. The garage door opener can also become damaged if the opener is used on a broken spring. The garage door spring assists the garage door opener in lifting the garage door. The garage door spring has a lot of tension on it and it is not recommended to try to fix this yourself.
