Torsion springs are the primary force behind lifting and lowering your garage door. They're located above the door, coiled around a shaft, and provide a twisting force to counterbalance the weight of the door.
When you open your garage door, the torsion springs unwind, providing the force needed to lift the door. As you close the door, the springs wind up, storing energy for the next opening.
