Double-Looped Garage Door Extension Springs
All DURA-LIFT® garage door extension springs are manufactured with a "double loop" connection type.
Most extension springs for garage doors have a single loop that is more prone to break over the life of the spring. Two loops puts less stress on the connection point coils so they do not snap off as they age.
