ketchenany Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Last nigh went to open my garage door and it wouldn't go up. Upon close inspection found the main spring snapped in half. Has anyone ever had the same problem and what the costs were to replace it? We used to have a member who did garage doors is he still around?

Gerritt Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 The springs are fairly inexpensive... but can be somewhat dangerous to install seeing as how you need to put the spring under tension... defiantly worth it to have a professional install it. I have seen homeowners trying to do it themselves until the spring unwinds under tension.... not pretty seeing a guy thrown off a ladder. Gerritt.

John Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 As Gerritt says, a fairly dangerous project unless you know what you are doing. I will tackle 'most anything but let a pro do my garage door replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I watched a guy replace my door spring, and even after that, I still won't do it myself. Send a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
