I don't want to come off as a know-it-all but this tip will save you a lot of time and energy, if you are just resetting the cables, you can "park" the springs (use the winding bar to rest each spring against the strut) reset the cables/drums. Probably cut your repair time in half. (Also works if changing 1 spring on a 2 spring door.)As a safety concern, I would never have my ratchet inside the cone, always the outer side. When tightening the set screws, when you feel contact with the shaft, apply just an additional 1/4 turn, that way there's no deformation of the shaft, that special screw tip just digs a slight dimple, does almost no damage, and it will not let loose. (It seems like not enough but it works beautifully.) Saves the headache of a squared shaft that doesn't like round things sliding down it.

I always back wind it till both the cables are loose and then reattach the one that came off the drum stick some needle nose on the cable for weight and then add the tention back on the spring.

I sincerely appreciate you gentlemen sharing your videos I enjoyed watching and learning about all the work you do, Thanks Mr. Gillett Sr.

You also want to make sure that if you're setting cables that you're not lifting the door while pulling them tight. This can happen with lighter doors, especially non-insulated.

U dnt have to take the tension off ...leave the bar there.. release the other cable.. tighten both again.. that's is...

I appriciate this video. I feel that if i get into this trade i can pay off my mortgage in a short time.

I use a back winder to do this super fast.

For all you people that are commenting on the trick ways of just back winding the torsion spring with loosening the set screws just enough to pop the cable back on, we know this too but for people who are not aware of how any of this stuff works it wouldn’t be wise to show them just that way without showing them exactly how they go on from scratch. It would also only take us about 30 seconds to do it that way and we want people who don’t know anything about this to see exactly how it works and not show them the trick ways first.

The slow down around turn 29 is real. . . Sometimes you have to shake it out.

Ill I need is a vice grip and winding bars

If I took this cource what would be my best option to get work asap? Self promotion or looking for a company to hire me?

I am going to give this course a shot I have some knowledge on some of it I want to prove the negative comments wrong

He didnt stretch the springs

Do you have any testimonials form people who purchased the course?

I'm really looking to become a gd tech can you start of making money while using a car or is a truck 100% needed

Thanks you very much i have troubles with my overhead door. But when i saw the video. It turn on me!.

What do you do if you lose count?

Hi all, I'm curious and looking for honest answers. Could a female be successful and get into being a garage door tech? My boyfriend does it right now and makes better money than I do at my corporate desk job that I can't stand. I need a change and want to do something with my hands that gets me out of the house and pays better...but I have no experience. Is this kind of a crazy jump to make?

Do you Have $500 promotion going right now .?

Not to rub anyone the wrong way but why unwind the springs when you can just backwind then reset the drums it would take a fraction of the time and energy just seems like alot of unnecessary work

I can tell u arent experienced by your vocabulary dont do this people its extremely dangerous and there alot of rules he didnt cover that can save u from loosing hands and fingers plus your technique is slow and inefficient u have no routine
