Tilting Door Spring FAQs
What type of springs do tilting doors use?
Tilting doors typically use extension (stretch) springs mounted on either side of the door, or torsion springs mounted above. The type depends on your door design and installation.
My tilting door is very heavy to lift. Is it the springs?
Most likely yes. When springs lose tension or break, you're lifting the full weight of the door. This is dangerous and should be addressed immediately.
How often should tilting door springs be replaced?
With average use, tilting door springs last 8-12 years. Factors like door weight, usage frequency, and climate affect lifespan. Annual inspections help identify wear early.
Can I adjust the spring tension myself?
No. Spring adjustment requires specific tools and knowledge. Incorrect tension can cause the door to slam shut (dangerous) or not stay open. Always use a professional.
Why do tilting doors have springs on both sides?
Dual springs provide balanced lifting force and redundancy. If one spring weakens, the door remains somewhat operable. We recommend replacing both springs together.
