Each tension springs and torsion springs serve the identical function, they offer much of the power that permits you or your opener to open your door.
  
Inspect the door's balance and movement. If your door is attached to an automatic door opener, disengage the door to make sure that it can be manually run for this step. Lift the door entirely backwards and forwards checking to make certain the door is conveniently operated by hand - not too hefty, no snags or catches, etc. A great rule of thumb to bear in mind: if you can not run the door comfortably by hand after that your door opener should not be raising it either. Do so if you need to find any type of catches and could repair them securely. We suggest calling a door expert instantly to correct the spring tension if you find the door is as well hefty. Adjusting spring strain is dangerous and can induce severe trauma if not done properly, and leaving a door heavy also long could create costly damages to your door opener.
