I like to put the spring upright in the vise and wind the winding cone on with a winding bar. To wind on the other cone, I use the straight piece of the door arm that has a couple of hang bolts set the right distance to fit in the cone holes.
Thanks. My spring broke right at the stationary cone. After I watched you video I got the broken piece off and bent the end and screwed it on. torqued it up and works fine. Didn't even take it off the rod. Comment: I sprayed the springs with silicone like I do every year and it broke the next day. I was telling a friend and he said the same thing happened to him. Weird. Only going to use it till the new springs come in. Thanks again
At our shop we have a rod with two pins on it to wind the stationary cones on and use the same rod for the winding side. Our main spring guy built a cone winder out of a garage door operator motor and used a couple of angle irons with a air cylinder to clamp the spring. The angle iron clamp rides on a track and as the motor rotates the cone it pulls the spring onto the cone its got forward and reverse. He can do approximately 50 springs an hour pending on size.
I found your video very helpful. If i could add a note to other viewers. My spring didn't have a lip to grab. I was able to use a couple of screwdrivers to pry the end up and bend it so that the channel locks could grip it. Thanks.
I use a solid block of steel or the corner of my work bench (1" steel top) to slide the spring over and wack it with a hammer to flare out the end of the wire (no torch needed) then as as Chuck says I use a flat bar with a couple of bolts to wind on the stationary cone and a bar for the winding cone
#1 tip when torquing the springs, wear safety glasses. I've seen guy move quickly between bars and partially insert on bar to have it slip out and cartwheel them in the face knocking out a tooth, eye or can even kill you. Take your time.
A pipe vise with a chain works better for me. The table is never in the way. Also the other guys advise of a winding bar for the winding cone and a straight operator arm with bolts for the stationary cone is definitely a time saver.
I was gonna say I might make a custom spanner wrench if I did it every day, but your idea pretty much is the handiest way to make one I have heard of, lol.
Hi I like your video! I'm hoping that you would be willing to answer a question. What keeps the springs from unthreading from the cone during normal operation? I have had two (R) springs unthread from the cone on the 30th 1/4 turn (31 Total). The second spring was a replacement for the first. Am I doing something wrong or did I simply get faulty springs? Thanks

Appreciate the video 👍🏻
Thank you so much putting this video here. You saved me lot of time and energy. Gratings from Hungary.
Use winding bars to take off and on . Also stationary cone with tool for removing
A pipe wrench works in a pinch, but I can see that large channel locks being handier.

Good advice thanks for the info 👍

Hi Great Video where do you buy the raw spring 10ft length,Thank You your a GREAT TEACHER

Nice I'm definitely going to try that👍
Man exactly what I’m looking for, you are da MAN!

So true 👍
I put a bearing in so I can tighten it a little more
Good job, Thanks!
This was the information I needed, thank you so much.............🙏🏾🙏🏾

Where do you scource the raw springs in just the coils?
Service Spring. They are great.
@@affordabledoorgatellc7391 thank you! I'd love to see a video on sizing a spring for a door
Do you have to reuse the old cones when you get new springs?
You can use used or new cones. If you order new spring’s they typically will come with new cones.
@@affordabledoorgatellc7391 Ah, thanks. I appreciate the answer.
Where can i buy the springs
I use service spring that's always been my go to place. Good luck 👍
Hi where you buy the new long spring?.
Wayne Dalton or service spring
