Similarly, sectional garage doors also make a great option if you’re looking to eliminate a draught in your garage. Much like the roller door style, this door retracts vertically into the ceiling space of your garage so it sits in a gliding system at both sides without any gaps. The sections create a rigid wall when lowered, but separate as they are lifted. This means there is also no gap at the bottom of the door to contend with. Torsion springs are installed on top of the garage door while extension springs are fitted on either side of the garage door. Garage doors fail. Sometimes, the garage door opens a little then stops.

Springs are important parts of a garage door. If any of them are broken, the immediate result is your door won’t function properly, or won’t open all the way. Garage door springs need maintenance and adjustments over time as they get weaker. When a torsion spring is first wound, there is an additional half turn put on the spring, which is what keeps the cables on the drums when the door is in the up position. During the colder, windier months of the year, you might start to notice that your garage door is letting in a draught – especially if you have an up and over garage door. An up and over garage door will need gaps around the edges as it needs room to move during operation, thus allowing cold air in around the edges. Ensure you replace broken springs immediately. You can replace the springs yourself or seek the help of a garage door expert. Broken Torsion Springs: Torsion springs are essential for counterbalancing the weight of the garage door.
