A garage door torsion spring is a type of spring which counterbalances the weight of the garage door and facilitates its opening and closing.  Torsion springs lift the weight of the garage door so that it can be operated manually or with the help of a remote control. Torsion springs are mounted on the top of the garage door.

It appears to be quite simple but a garage door torsion spring is a complicated arrangement of various parts which work in tandem to open and close the garage door smoothly. Torsion springs consist of a shaft placed under the torsion of the spring and cable drums are attached at both ends. The shaft and the spring help in opening and closing the garage door, by lifting the drums which in turn wind up the cables that are attached to the bottom of the door.

A garage door torsion spring works on the same principle as the trunk of your car or the pop-up doors of compact disc player. It is the torsion spring which actually does the lifting of the door job, and not the remote control, as is popularly believed. The torsion spring rewinds when the garage door shuts and is activated when the garage ...
... door is raised.

Torsion springs can be used for both household as well as commercial purposes. While household garage doors generally have one, or maximum of two torsion springs, commercial garage doors have a minimum of two or sometimes four torsion springs as well.
