These guys are excellent. Ordered my springs on a Tuesday night (watch the video on spring measurement as well), and had them sent overnight as I had a car stuck in the garage and I didn’t want to risk injury manhandling the door. Shipping label was created by 6AM the next morning and the springs were on my doorstep Thursday. Watched the video three or four times, then played it back in sections as I did it. Took about an hour and I know nothing about these doors except they open and close. Saved me at least $200. My kit came with both springs, the winding bar, and a new steel center bearing. I will recommend these guys to everyone!

I received them and successfully (and easily) replaced the parts and the door is working better than it ever has. Kyle and his company are awesome!

great video but the recommendation on number of turns was off for my door it looks like. I have an 8 foot door, I put 34 turns on it as recommended at 8:38, when I released the carriage to check tension, it came up too fast. so take the turn loading recommendation with a grain of salt. I'd have gone with about 20 turns based on how fast my door just launched into the air. Other than that, this video is perfect on how to do it, the process. No extra waiting, it's edited very well and easy to follow. The parts I got were perfect and fit right on. Update: As long as I live, I will never buy a garage spring from anyone but Kyle Hogge as long as I live. SUPERIOR service and attention to detail, even with my wrong springs. Just watch the video, and buy the stuff from Kyle. Fantastic customer service.

@diygaragedoorparts 7 жыл бұрын

Gone Ballistic you have the wrong springs on your door. The correct Springs for your door is critical in the way it functions. That is why we have instructional videos on measuring your springs. Also if you would have put only 20 quarter turns on your setup it would have been heavy as lead when it opened to the halfway point (not enough turns) and if you would have lifted the door like that with your opener cables would have came off of the drums and you would have had a huge mess. When a door does not balance the the turn recommendations it means you have the wrong springs .

@diygaragedoorparts 7 жыл бұрын

Yeah I hate that that happened. If the old owners put the wrong Springs on this is definitely a possibility. You could also weigh the door with no spring tension on it and get me the height and the drum size and I can calculate it for you if you would like.

@goneballistic 7 жыл бұрын

I'll try and figure out how to do it. I think I found the issue: the springs are perfectly tensioned at 21 turns, but the springs are totally unloaded at 3/4 height, and then the cable comes off the drum. what do you need to calculate the right springs? Just the weight of the door? And what is your exchange policy? My guess is I'm going to get killed on return shipping, these babies are *heavy*. I checked my spring I took off, the measurements are the same as the new spring, it's just the new spring is much stronger......

@diygaragedoorparts 7 жыл бұрын

Gone Ballistic I would bet you purchase a larger wire diameter than you old ones. We do accept returns. Your best option is to remeasure the old springs, also it would not hurt to weigh the door and get the drum size too. we will calculate it for you.
