Great work....

      Thank you. It was nerve wracking for sure, but I've got the kind of drive that wants to conquer what others don't even want to attempt. It took a while but I loved how it made me feel when I was done and victorious. LOL Thanks for the engagement Tam.

    Great Videos from you. Thank You, Sir. It would greatly help if you comment on why such situations happen. Why does the door buckle and how did your repair help correct the problem.

    • @dapperdudesgarage
      @dapperdudesgarage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It can be one of a few reasons. It mostly happens due to homeowner error. Such as storing things in the corner by the garage door tracks and those objects fall in the way as the garage door is shutting and causing the cables to come off.
      It also happens when the customer backs out before the door is raised all the way and hit the door. Another common reason is broken garage door spring. If there is only one spring then once it breaks there is nothing holding the tension anymore so the door is in free-fall mode. Lastly, it could be old age of the garage door components. After arriving and inspecting the door and carrying out diagnostics, depending on what I find is how I begin to offer recommendations.

  • @steavfcongdon
    @steavfcongdon ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know you got this done. What I would have thought to do is support the upper panel with straps. Then immobilize the spring. Take the door apart from the bottom up. Then reassemble. I would think that would remove some of the risk of the door shifting and falling.

      @@robertduncan2607 Thanks man. No, I didn’t replace a single parts. I just had to take the vertical tracks off and kind of prefabricate them there on site with some pliers and a hammer,lol. This job in all honesty took me about two hours. Maybe 2 and a half because I had to go slow and really be safe. So had to think about pressure and release points etc. But, the guy paid me $649 to do all that and save his door so not too bad.

    I knew you were good enough to fix this one amigo. Hey! Ive got a question for you: Before you removed the last panel, how did you handled the tension of the springs Did you take off the tension bedore you released them from the vice grips? Because I suppose the last panel still had the cable tensioned.

      @dapperdudesgarage after 30 yrs of use, I had one 250x2x30 on a 12' that broke. I'm in the process of putting it all back together with 2 new springs of the same dimensions instead of one. I added two 12' struts bc of sag. I weighed the door at about 130lbs. Not sure if there's overkill as far as torsion springs are concerned. Thanks for your reply.

      @jessebadbass8668 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@dughify Hey, there is absolutely a such thing as overkill. Matter of fact, if anything, you would rather undershoot the size of spring rather than overshoot. Over shooting is going to throw the balance way off. It could to such a point the opener won't even close due to the uplifting pressure. You can't take the tension off either to reduce the uplifting force because your cables will come off. So, it's best to undershoot a little because if anything you can add more tension on the springs which will only further tighten your cables.

    • @dughify
      @dughify 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @jessebadbass8668 by coincidence, I was watching the Wayne Dalton vid earlier today and think you mentioned something about that. Now that I have everything together, now the door only opens 4ft, then binds. If I force it up further the cables come off ( just like you said ) I thought for sure I had equal tension on the springs and cables. Is it possible the bearings in the springs are bolted too tight to the center bracket. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks

    • @dapperdudesgarage
      @dapperdudesgarage  21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ no man, the bearings and how tight the springs are bolted to the center plate have nothing to do with a springs lifting force. That only makes things safer.
      Its simply the springs have to be the right size.

    • @dapperdudesgarage
      @dapperdudesgarage  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      i asked him, he said maybe later but right now he couldn’t that’s why he said if i could save his door and not have to get a new one he would pay me decent bc he couldn’t afford a new door at the time. He said the lowest quote he got on a new door was $1300 so i offered to fix it for $600 out the door and he agreed. So in his mind i saved him $700. We all win!
