This is the best instructional video on Garage Door Spring Repair on the web I only needed to adjust my door . It wouldn't stay up all the way.This video gave me the confidence to do the job my self. Thanks for your help.
Not sure if I mentioned this last week, but your video saved me some dough. Your instructions were clear and precise. I cautiously tackled this job and did it in 3 hours time (gathering supplies and tools included- also included about an hour in planning and thinking this through carefully.) It wasn't as daunting as I thought thanks to your instructions. I'm handy for sure, but was nervous due to the clips put out by others, but these clips were AWESOME!
If you've been considering this as a DIY project, do yourself a favor and watch all four parts. These videos make understanding how to replace torsion springs a snap, both safely and easily. If you find yourself scratching your head and still unsure, call a pro. Great job on the series and thank you for sharing.
Life saver and price saver Do it yourself video. The host expresses the importance of safety and proper tools to effectively perform and complete this project and pay yourself by working smarter not harder. Thank you Bill for your time, wisdom and experience.
This is the best video I've seen .on torsion spring repair. Very good camera work and great explanation on how to do the job. You should put this on DVD and sell it.
I understand you measured the springs, but how do you know that is the correct spring for the door? Isn't it possible during original install or past repair work the wrong spring was put on? An amateur might be replacing with the wrong springs assuming the ones he's taking off are correct.
This compilation of spring replacement videos is fantastic! These were the first to come up and I didn't see a need to look for other sources of info. A very complete, logical, well filmed, and SAFE instructions. Thank You!
Perfect explanation on the springs and where they go LOL I first installed them backwards then after realizing what was wrong I corrected this mistake and got the job done in about 2 hours boy I wish I watched your video first LOL I started off with .207 gauge and 2" dia by 20" long and replaced them with .207 gauge and 1.3/4"dia by 22" long ,28 1/4 turns each side and no adjustments all is well, I really like the safty measures you put in place very important. Great job. 17' by 7 ' alum dr.
awsome video because it I just was able to finish mine, only one thing my door is exactly the same size as yours but has only one spring what justifys a second spring? and should I add one?
@jsimm435 You're door is probably aluminum or another light material whereas the one featured in the video is wooden. Heavier doors need more springs. Don't add one, your one is probable ample for the door.
