Residential and Commercial Garage Door Springs

Residential and commercial garage doors are built to handle different loads and frequencies of use. As a result, the springs used in each type are also designed differently. Knowing the differences can help you understand why certain springs are more suitable for one type over the other.

Residential garage door springs are typically smaller and designed for moderate use. They’re made to support lighter garage doors found in homes, and they come in both torsion and extension varieties. These springs usually have a cycle life of around 10,000 cycles, enough for most homeowners.

Commercial springs are built for heavy-duty use and are designed to handle larger, heavier doors. They’re often used on doors that are opened and closed multiple times a day, such as in warehouses or loading docks. Commercial springs are more durable and typically have a higher cycle life to accommodate frequent use.

Installing commercial springs is often more complex than residential ones, as they need to support more weight and go through more cycles. Commercial springs also require sturdier materials and may need additional support mechanisms to handle the load.
