Hi, I got a Amarr double very heavy garage door (we are in hurricane zone) which is out of balance because is almost impossible to lift it manuanlly. I follwed your video and I found that I can't rotate the springs any more, they are totaled compressed. What should be the issue here, are the springs damaged, lost of eleasticty, old and need to be replaced?. The whole garage door and lifting system was changed in 2015. Thank you

Wow! Great job and video! Thanks for sharing. How long does the job take you? How many cycles the spring you ordered? And how much?

@MrKistel 11 ай бұрын

Thanks, the project did not take very long. I do not recall the specifics on the spring cycles but they seem to working well.

@jasonbutler7918 8 ай бұрын

Some of these newer springs are 16,000-20,000 cycles..

at 5.58 you are installing the left hand wound spring if I'm not mistaken. Shouldnt that be the one with black marking? it looks like yours is marked red which should go on the other side- I migjt be confused myself

@MrKistel 8 ай бұрын

These springs had weird coloring. I was confused at first but generally the red and black signify which spring is which.

@Kana7782 19 күн бұрын

I just replaced mine. But why is it that it seems that that particular side spring is more common to break?

@MrKistel 13 күн бұрын

Congrats on your repair. Not sure if there is a trend for one side to snap more likely than the other.

Nice job. I should have looked this job up before I paid someone to replace a broken spring on one of my doors. I could have saved a huge portion of the $1200 that I just spent. :(
