Garage door springs are an essential part of the system that opens and closes your garage door. They counterbalance the weight of the door, making it easy to lift and lower. If your garage door springs become loose, the door can fall when raised, posing a safety hazard. Tightening the springs is a relatively simple task that can be done in a few steps.
To tighten the springs, you will need a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. First, locate the springs. They are usually located on either side of the garage door track. Once you have found the springs, use the pliers to grip the end of the spring and turn it clockwise. Be sure to tighten the spring evenly on both sides of the door.
