Why a dented garage door torsion spring is usually the shaft, not the coil
The torsion spring sits on a steel shaft running the width of the door, supported by a center bracket. That shaft and bracket are what usually take an impact — from a stored ladder, sports equipment, or a garage door opener rail that's come loose and swung into it — while the coiled spring wire underneath is checked separately for any resulting damage.

A shaft or bracket that's already under slight stress from a frame that isn't perfectly square is more likely to bend under an impact than one mounted on a perfectly aligned frame, which is one reason a dented garage door torsion spring complaint sometimes traces back further than the obvious impact.
