They are easy to install, easy to assemble and make lifting super heavy garage doors an easy job.

Extension springs vs. torsion springs - While buying extension springs the buyer might come across the term torsion spring. The main difference between torsion spring and extension springs are as follows,
Extension - Extension springs extend completely when trying to open the garage door while torsion springs as the name suggests simply turn to achieve the same task. Since extension springs extend completely they lose their elasticity very fast while torsion springs do not.

Speed - Torsion springs can be controlled during their motion thus allowing for a regulated and smooth movement of springs in contrast to the jerking motion of the extension springs.

Cost - Although torsion springs cost more they last longer than extension springs.

Despite of the above points extension springs are still preferred over torsion ones because of their easy installation and low cost.

Extension springs are color coded and come in a variety of shades like white, yellow, dark tan and many more. These colors stand for specific door weights that each spring can lift. Usually the shops that sell them and a number of online websites provide a catalogue of the colors and the respective weights.

The steel that is used to make the springs is durable and has a lot of elasticity. However some people claim that the steel that comes from China is comparatively inferior in durability and hence prefer steel from U.S.

Do not think this is a tough job, the weight can be measured by a weighing machine and an analog scale, there are also a number of videos by DDM Garage Doors guiding you how to do

    Spring Scales People quantifying the material in an object by measuring its weight. Spring scales eventually became one of the simplest and most practical tools for accomplishing this task, and they are still found in bathrooms and grocery stores. These scales contain springs, although these are normally hidden from view. When you stand on a bathroom scale, the scale measures just how much upward force it must exert on you in order to keep you from moving downward toward the earth’s center. As in most scales, the bathroom scale uses a spring to provide this upward support.…

    1 Introduction Leaf spring is a suspension system for vehicles that were used in the old days. Originally, they were called carriage or laminated springs. This system was successful and genuine, used primarily on almost all vehicles until the 1970s and still on trucks and vans that carry heavy loads. The spring leaf consists of an arched, slender piece of steel that is arranged in the same material in smaller sizes and combined together to form a reinforced arc-like element.…

    Investigation Hooke’s Law AIM: To investigate how a spring behaves when a force of load stretches it. To figure out the relationship between the loads added to spring and the extension of spring. HYPOTHESIS: I think that as the load added to spring increases, the extension of the spring will increase. The relationship between them will be directly proportional. The formula of these two variables might be F=kx.…

    CHAPTER- 5 ANALYSIS OF STEEL LEAF SPRING ________________________________________________________________ The aim of this analysis is to study the multi-leaf steel leaf spring under loading conditions and verify those results within the allowable limits. ANSYS software is used to analyze the stresses and strains by performing static analysis for the given leaf spring specifications and modal analysis is performed to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes to asses the behavior of the leaf spring with various parametric combinations. After prepared the model of the leaf spring by specifications it has to be subjected to analysis in ANSYS Workbench.…
