Teckentrup, uniquely, uses concealed extension springs across all sizes of its Carteck sectional garage doors. Not only does this mean that installers only need to learn to install one type of gear, but it also means that adding or taking off tension is so much easier than torsion springs. To add tension simply lower the position of the spring cable in the adjustment slots in the frame legs and the job is done!
