I just wanted to let you know as a single guy owning his first townhouse, this video saved me hundreds of dollars and I learned a new skill. New springs installed on my garage door! Appreciate it
Excellent video Mr. Jim.The pully at 8:21 has one side with a 90 degree angle. You are the only video to show what this us for later in the video. As always I learn from your concise and detailed videos.
Detailed explanation about spring color and more importantly when you dont see color , i did not know the weight of the garage door. No where there's any article. Explain How to choose the spring if you don't know the color of the existing spring. Thank you for your explanation and insight.
Super helpful. Thanks! According to my scale it's weighs 40 - 50 pounds depending on how many times I put the scale on. The connector thing is released. Seems awfully light. It's a fiberglass door.
Hi, any problem of installing higher caliber springs. The color is not a the existing springs and somehow the stronger springs are cheaper at the hardware store, so I figured out I could use the more heavy.
Everything is done correctly besides one thing you’re down limit is actually set a little bit too far you can see your rail is bent upwards quite a bit so you might want to turn the down limit the other way but only just a little bit so you kind of have a soft shot then you disengage your garage door opener from the door and your chain needs to be a little bit more tighter not much just a little bit so in the center of the rail do you want the chain just about right underneath of the rail and then on the back of the opener door to force settings so what you wanna do is you want to open the garage door all the way open and then you want to spread your legs open so your legs do not trigger the safety sensors then have the door close on your shoulder if it’s putting way too much pressure on your shoulder then you know you’re down limit needs to be decreased and that goes the same with the open limit you have the garage door closed and then when the door gets about halfway open grab onto the door and if it opens way too hard then you need to decrease your up limit

Hi a little unsure watching . Are there two safety cables one to each pulley?
Thanks

Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You're welcome!
Nice thank for sharing
Thanks for visiting
One of my springs broke. To weigh the door, will I need to disconnect the other spring before putting the scale under the door?
Thank you. BTW, I have belt driven and a lot much quietly.

Good thank you, can you make a video how to replace Torsion Tube or the pipe?
Yes, soon
Where did you get the replacement springs package?
What keeps the wire from running into the tracks?
Once the spring is attached the tension will keep it out
Do we unhook both springs to weigh the door?
Yes remove both springs.
Thank ypu!
