Garage doors have two major varieties of springs.  The commonest type of spring is a torsion spring.  Torsion springs are put in above the door opening.  Tension springs are put in alongside the garage door's horizontal tracks.  Both types of springs do the identical thing.  They supply most of the power that causes your door to open.
  
Check the door's balance and motion. Disengage the door so that it can be manually run for this action if your door is connected to an automatic door opener. Lift the door totally up and down checking to ensure the door is effortlessly run by hand - not also hefty, no snags or catches, and so on. An excellent rule of thumb to keep in mind: if you cannot operate the door easily by hand after that your door opener should not be raising it either. If you need to discover any type of catches and could correct them safely, do so.
