Very informative top job. Thanks for your help.

Very informative video. Good to see garage design has advanced, no need for large weights hanging off either side of the door. I'm in the process of building a garage, think I will go for an already framed garage door, as it will be easier to install and the legs of the frame are made from metal so the feet won't rot.

Superb instructions, thank you!

Cheers David I'll give it a go today

Good man with a second hand door made it look east 👍

Great..looks simple enough!..says he. What was your mobile Again..😅

Great video. Thanks

Not a polished video but realistic. Most viewers will be fitting to an existing garage like mine so will be full. Very informative easy to understand and the fast forward worked great. thank you. :-)

Thank you, very useful.

A very helpful video - thank you - helped enormously in fixing my garage door. Just a constructive comment - you brushed over many small things that are blatantly obvious to you... but for the less experienced it would have been helpful to video the minor detail... i.e. close ups of component parts... not taking away anything from you efforts so again thank you for taking the time and effort to make this helpful video. May your garage doors always open smoothly.

Thank you, that very good.

Hi David, thank you for your very good video on up and over doors. Can I ask, do you know why having put the tension on the spring, why the cones don’t turn and opening the door the wires are slack . You can turn the bar manually with a spanner. Myself and my Dad just can’t work it out. Any advice would be welcome . Kind regards Angie

As a garage door fitter myself I was cringing when you leant that wood up against the door, ya may scratch it 😉 I love installing canopy doors though, nice and easy. Behind the reveal Six brackets and bolts, jobs a good un 👌 Sectional doors are a pain though.

Another good video - I need to fit new rollers to a garage door but I might give it a go after watching your other video - although i am not 100% sure what or where to order from.

Nice video thanks for info.

What door make is that? I have one and it’s made from GRP but has no info on it as to what it is.

Hi David, your videos are extremely helpful, thank you for taking the time. I need to replace the cones & cables on my door, the left hand cone is hard up against the wall - would I need to remove the whole door & spring in order to get this cone off? If so, do I need to remove all the tension from the spring first, or can the assembly be removed providing the crook is in place? Alternatively, is it possible to slide the bar to the right by a couple of inches in order to fit the new cone? Thanks again - Dave in Macclesfield :)

Hi David - my nan’s had a new garage roof fitted and we think the guy who did the roof has refitted the garage door in the process because since then, the door is hitting / scraping the frame on the top corner on one side. To adjust do I need to refit one of the top brackets to push the door towards the other side where there is more clearance? Thanks for making these useful videos.

Good stuff

Good vid thank you

Hi David I've just fitted a second hand wickes garage door like the one in the video. My problem is that when I lift it up the 2 cables down the side go slack and the 2 cones at the top don't turn and wind the wire up(although they turn when I put a spanner on them.)Would you say it just needs tensioning

Very good video David and will help a lot of people thanks! my problem is one side is lower than the other and trying to close is is very hard! the other day I went to shut the garage and there was a bit of wood in the way on the inside and the door hit it, since then it's crooked and really hard to close and the cable on the left is slack when trying to close the door but the right hand side is tight, can you help with this please

Hi Dave, watched this video as you suggested, can you just clarify that the spring is locked off on just one side, the side with the locking point with the two Allen key screws. Or is it necessary to use the ‘U’ bolt to lock off the opposite side? Thanks, Rob

Hi David, Thank so much for sharing your skills. Please help! I have the same garage door but it had recently refused to open. There could be something blocking it from inside. Could you please give me some advice on how to open it. Many thanks B

Hi David, My garage door frame has rotted at the bottom. I plan to take the existing garage door off, fit a new frame then re-fit the garage door. One question - Do i have to do something to 'hold the tension' in the spring before I remove the existing garage door ?

Anyone know if its possible to just get the hinge mechanism for this type of door without the door itself? I'm wanting to build my own door for an outdoor workshop/shed but I'd like to be able to fit the up and over style. Struggling to find them seperately.

I have a Henderson garage door , while I was adjusting the tension on the long Spring I accidentally let all the tension go , can reload the spring please

Hi David, thanks so much for taking the time to show how to fit a garage door. My garage door dropped after guys replace the cone and cables. Is there a straightforward way of doing this? Thanks again.

My garage door is now scrapping on the floor, any videos coming on how to adjust this?

Hi what happens if you don't put a pin in the spring bar and it accidentally unravels fully🤦‍♂️ can it be wound back any help,.

I've got the same make door as you and the problem I've got it the spring has lost its tension and the cables are slack. When I lift the cone to put the pin in, the cone slips so I can't put in the pin to tension the spring

Hi David unfortunately before watched the ur video my garage door cable one of them came off and I did take another one my self now question is how can I put them both back I have too open the door putting the cable back or I have to close the door then put the cable back thanks if u replaying

Hi I changed both cables and cones on my garage door . I made a mistake and the long spring spun back so there is no tension on it at all ..any ideas

My door is wonky from the house builder. I need to take it off and remount it. Is there anything I need to look out for? I know the risky part is messing with the spring. Is the door openable if I untension the spring completely?

How long did the whole process take you from building and fitting the frame to you opening the door. Many thanks

Hi dave my up and over won't open the locks fine it just won't open when I turn the handle and apply pressure to open there's no other way into the garage either any ideas please ? Thanks in Advance

Hi, Are you available to fit a garage door and what area do you generally work in. Thankyou

To me …to you … only joking good video mate

Good idea to not let framework touch the floor that’s how I always do it leave a 1/4 inch gap

I think it is now time that you made a video of a Henderson garage door spring that has completely lost its tension for people that might encounter the problem

Hi David are you still making videos? I really enjoy watching your content.

How much cost garage door supply and fit mate

Right above your head @ 5.17 s

Hi its a Wickes door thats the most i know

Ohhhh now I see , you put ply on the right hand side so you needed to do the whole frame .

if in return you want to buy me a drink or help support my channel click here www.solwayplumbers.co.uk/donate_37.html
