What Are Garage Door Spring Systems?
Garage door spring systems are an essential aspect of the functioning of any garage door. Essentially, these springs act as the counterbalance for the weight of the door and make it much easier to lift them manually. There are two kinds of springs: torsion spring systems and extension spring systems. Torsion springs operate with a shaft just above where the garage door sits, while extension springs run along two tracks in parallel. It is important to regularly inspect and maintain these systems, as well as call a professional if needed - not only can regular maintenance save money but it can also prevent potentially dangerous malfunctions from occurring in your home.
Still Rockin' Extension Springs?
It Might Be Time for an Upgrade.
Extension springs did their job — back in the day. But if you’re looking for smoother, safer, and longer-lasting performance, a spring system conversion is the way to go. We’ll swap out your outdated setup and install a modern torsion spring system that gives your garage door a serious boost in strength and reliability.
At State 48, we make the upgrade simple, fast, and 100% worth it.

Why Switch to Torsion Springs?
Because better springs = a better garage.
Torsion springs are the gold standard for modern garage doors. They sit above the door and twist to create tension — instead of stretching out like older extension springs. The result? Less wear and tear, more control, and way fewer headaches.
Here’s why homeowners all over Phoenix are making the switch:
- Longer lifespan– Some torsion springs last up to 4x longer than standard extension springs.
- Smoother operation– Less jerky movement, less noise, more peace of mind.
- Safer design– No flying parts if a spring breaks.
- Better balance β Your door stays aligned and opens evenly.
