Garage door springs are essential components of a garage door system because they help in counterbalancing the weight of the door. Without the springs, the door would be too heavy to lift manually or with the help of an opener. The springs store mechanical energy when the door is closed and release it to assist in opening the door. This makes it easier to lift and lower the garage door safely and efficiently. The springs also help in preventing damage to the opener and the door itself by reducing the strain on these components.
