Torsion Springs
As for the proper placement of torsion Springs, they are attached to a steel bar that hangs over the door of your garage and counterbalances the load by acting as a stabilizing force when it is opened or closed. You can see the torsion spring in operation as he coils at either and unwind to help pull the door open. The garage door torsion spring is actually a marvel of engineering, and makes it possible to easily move a load that would be otherwise impossible for a single normal person to do. As for the specifics of this engineering, the operational life and durability of the steel cable is dependent upon the spring length and the inside diameter of the wire. Generally, residential properties have garage doors with either one or two torsion spring; larger commercial garage doors may have more because of the extra load.
