Replace the overhead garage extension springs on a 10 foot high door with these replacement spring pairs from North Shore Commercial Door. Extension springs counterbalance the weight of a garage door and make opening/closing safer and easier. Extension springs install with an S-Hook to the stationary brackets that hang the horizontal garage door tracks from the ceiling, while the other end of the spring is hooked to a safety cable-and-sheave assembly system connected to the door. As the door closes the springs extend, lightening the load of the door and slowing it down. As the door opens the spring retract to pull the door upwards and onto the horizontal tracks into the open position. The door is held open by the initial spring tension when the correct spring is used. Extension springs are color coded by weight and are available in weights ranging from 70 lbs to 300 lbs.
