When the door is shut, garage door extension springs are affixed on either side of the door and stretch along the horizontal component of the track. You may likewise have an old, one piece door that swings outward as it rises overhead. This specific layout will have springs placed behind the door opening at about your midsection height, secured to a lever bracket device that extends the springs toward the ceiling at the door closing.
