| In general, extension springs get their name because of their function of stretching, or extending when force is applied to them. They are usually installed on the sides of the Brownsburg garage door and attached to the door's swing arms. The more force that is applied, the farther the spring will extend. | Zionsville Whitestown Carmel Indianapolis |

| Torsion springs, on the other hand, are a function of torque. Therefore, when pressure is applied, the springs twist and coil. Torsion springs can be found at the upper section of the door, mounted to the header of the door. They are usually much stronger, and thus more expensive, than the extension springs. |  |
