Extension Springs from North Shore Commercial Door make opening and closing an 11 foot overhead door easier and safer by counterbalancing its weight. Extension springs install with a heavy duty S-Hook to stationary brackets that hang horizontal garage door tracks from the ceiling, while the other end of the spring is connected to a safety cable safety cable-and-pulley assembly connected to the garage door. As the door closes the springs extend, lightening the load of the door and slowing it as it lowers. As the door opens the springs retract to lift the door upwards and into the horizontal position. When the door is in the open position sitting on the horizontal tracks, the initial spring tension is enough to hold the door in place. Garage door extension springs are color coded by door weights ranging from 100 lbs to 300 lbs.
