Garage doors have two main varieties of springs.  The most typical kind of spring is a torsion spring.  Torsion springs are installed above the door opening.  Tension springs are installed alongside the garage door's horizontal tracks.  Each sorts of springs do the same thing.  They provide most of the power that causes your door to open.
  
If your door is connected to an automated door opener, release the door so that it could be by hand run for this action. A great rule of thumb to bear in mind: if you cannot operate the door easily by hand after that your door opener should not be raising it either.
