Torsion springs and bars from Express Garage Door Parts arrived today. After watching this video 3 times and replacing my torsion bars by myself I'm still alive, my garage door works and I'm drinking a celebratory beer.
Same here!
The video was great as well as the service I got from the team there. I was able to get it all done and appreciated the clear instructions.
Thanks so I have

Great video! Helped me save $300 by replacing my broken spring myself! I was able to successfully replace both springs by using the right tools, watching this video a few times and being very careful. I am a woman that’s 5,3’ and 140 pounds for reference. Thanks so much for an awesome and very detailed video!!
That's awesome!

Awesome ;great example for men!!!
wow! my cousin paid $400 you great woman to do this job! we let mexican guy do our garage work
Ma'am you are awesome save that money girlfriend
This guy just saved me $400. This is an excellent video that clearly shows how to get the job done safely.
Please someone explain to me. If I buy a pair (2 pieces of Torsion springs) how do I know which one is left and which one is right. Thanks.
@@ilijanikolic They are marked on the package.
Where did you buy the springs?
if there were Oscars for UA-cam vids, this guy would win. great video, right to the point, no BS...
I agree 100%. This guy knows his stuff and doesn't waste any time.
@@billruha4728 spot on. this dude's video is a lot better than most out there. u rock man! saved me a few hundred bucks!
@@lloydd1386 Ha, thanks! He saved me $$$ too!
I think they're called the "streamys"
Yeah man, this is an awesome video. Quit your job and start a home improvement channel.
I have learned and done a lot of things, but never a garage door. I was at a complete loss till I watched your videos. Thank you very much.
Thank you for all the vidio help, the job went smoothly. I'm 74 years old, and i think my wife could have done this job, and she's 79. thanks again.
Of all the torsion spring install videos I’ve watched this morning, this one is the best. Very clearly informative and no steps were fast forwarded. His safety tips are concise and nothing appears to be overlooked. Great job dude. And thanks a bundle
I just replaced my springs, and even made an adjustment to lighten the pull, and here I am, living to type the tale. Thank you for the easy to follow video. Made the job easy peasy. The hardest part of the whole thing was finding my file in my very messy shed. ;)
I've watched your video twice. You have done an excellent job in showing how to change springs. I feel very confident to do the job on our broken spring. THANK YOU! Doug
One of the best instructional videos I have seen. After viewing it a couple of times I was able to install new torsion springs and repair my garage door. Taking my time in the interest of safety the repair time from start to finish was 90 minutes. Complete, simple, and well presented video. My thanks and hats off to Express!
I just fixed the tension springs in my garage door because of this video. I'm only a month away from being 30 years old and this is the first time I've ever had to fix one of these things. This video made it possible for me to do so.
Thank you.
I can confirm these guys are great!! I ordered the parts through them, and followed the video.Had no issues at all! Garage door works great now, thanks guys!
One of the best videos on how to install the torsion springs. Very well done and safety included as well. I followed the instructions provided and was very easy to change out. Thank you for a job well done.
Video and Company are Amazing. I was able to determine the exact parts I needed, ordered it, and fix my garage door by following the instructions that were provided. I estimate that I saved around $500 doing it myself.
Called in this morning for a little help and I can honestly say, it's some of the best customer service I've ever had.
I’ve installed maybe 100 garage doors in the time that I was a garage door technician. However, after not doing it for years, I had to watch this video to remember how to do certain things to replace my grandparent’s spring. Thank you for uploading this video. It has brought my memory back.
Just a great video! I just installed mine, took about an hour. Thank you so much!! The camera angles and explanation were spot on.
so many people talk about how afraid they are to do these. if a person takes their time, is methodical and careful, and follows your directions, it's very straightforward. best how-to video, in terms of clarity, conciseness, etc that I think I've ever seen
Agree..
Exactly what I needed! I watched the video once through, then once again, pausing intermittently as I did the job. Got it done with no incidents. Thanks!
Just wanted to tell you thanks for this!! I was able to follow your instructions and install my tension springs myself with relative ease!
Thank you so much for the videos. I was able to order the correct springs and repair my garage door safely for much cheaper than having a company come out and do it. I was super impressed by the quick shipping I had a tracking number 15min after ordering! The springs arrived the next day. UA-cam is amazing for the homeowner to accomplish so much DIY!
Best "How to" video I've watched. Covered all aspects of the job and stressed the safety element. Ordered my springs from them on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. and received them on Thursday at noon. Couldn't have been more satisfied.
So happy to help! As always let us know if we can help in any other way.
Just want to personally say thank you. A few years ago a guy did it for me and I didn’t think to learn, but you went step by step and worked awesome. I appreciate you emphasizing the springs can be “hot”, I have a Genie 7055 and it would go up but not down again. Had to loosen off 3 quarter turns each side to balance it. You are the man, thank you again.
Great video, thorough yet brief without anything unnecessary. Having never done garage door work before, I was a bit intimidated when I noticed one of my torsion springs broke. This video gave me the confidence to fix it myself and it couldn't have gone better, thanks for putting this together!
Cannot say thank you enough. Had a spring snap on Monday and after watching this video had the confidence to replace on my own. Sent a few pictures of my door and the tag with model number to the email provided on their website and within 3mins I had a reply with the size I needed. Took me 1 hour to remove the old and replace 2 new springs while following along with this video. Not to mention the new springs arrived only 26 hours after I ordered. Incredible. Thank you!
Just wanted to say a HUGE "thank you" for your video. It made changing that torsion spring super easy!
So glad I watched this video. On my rental's garage, the bracket between the two springs that attaches to the wall decided to rip itself free. I spent $20 on some winding rods and longer lag bolts and repaired it myself. After worrying half the day about making the repair, it turned out to be super easy.
Thank you!!!! I used to think this operation is extremely dangerous, which is. After watching this, I am so much more comfortable fixing it myself. Keep up the good work. Awesome video. Nicely done. Could not have been better! Rock on!
Received my springs this past Monday with the bars I purchased to install it, my garage door works again, I previously found this video while searching if I could repair the problem and went straight to their website to purchase the springs I needed.
This is the first video that came up after searching how to change a garage door spring...I don't even want to look at any more....Great Video!!
Absolutely one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. Clear, concise and no b.s. with clear video and audio. You didn't waste time explaining how to use a freaking wrench etc. GREAT JOB and thanks!
Nice quick video, no endless rambling
I just finished installing my springs after watching this video once and having my laptop in the garage with me so I could replay each step just as I was going to perform them. Great video that saved me $200 in a service call to a garage door company. It couldn't have been any better!!!
Got my torsion springs from y’all yesterday and Installed them today, if it wasn’t for you I woulda have been stumped, also didn’t help the home owner before installed them backwards to begin with 😂. Thanks again all the way from South Carolina!
Thank you EGDP for your Safe, Amazing and Straight Forward video tutorial. I was able to replaced both my torsion springs easily and saved me tons of $$$. Anyone out there who is thinking of doing yours, don't hesitate. As long as you're a handy person, watch and follow this video over and over again particularly the safety thoughts then, you will be amazed you've done it.
Great video, I have never changed a garage torsion spring but watching your video gave me the step by step know how. I successfully accomplished the task of changing both springs in about an hour and a half going really slow. I probably could of done it in an hour but I chose to watch the step by step video in between each step ensuring that I made no mistakes. The tip with using the file was spot on because I ran in to the issue with the large pole that holds the springs sliding back and forth. Thanks to having the metal file handy, I was able to shave it down and have it move freely. Again, great video and thank you for taking the time to help out the diy community.
Excellent! Presentation was clear & thorough. Presenter appeared experienced and relaxed.
Great video, and great service. I ordered a new spring yesterday and put it on this afternoon. Excellent instructions and excellent shipping. I still can't believe how simple this was.
Thank you guys so much. The spring was perfect, and the video was step-by-step what I did to replace it. My garage is more smooth and quiet that it was to begin with.
If I ever see you at a bar, drinks are on me. I followed your video step by step, I experienced no issues or surprises m, and
Excellent tutorial!
I'm mechanically inclined and have my own welding shop, but this removed any apprehension about doing this procedure.
Thank you!
As a matter of fact, I ordered the springs, then searched for a video and realized I ordered them from your company!!
I'm in great hands 👍
excellent video. I was able to install the springs with no issues. Glad you posted it. Thanks!!! Have a great day!
Thank you for your comment! Glad you were able to get your garage door back up and running.
My new spring arrived today and I had watched this video a few times to prepare myself. These instructions were spot on, new spring is installed, working great and I still have all my fingers! Thank you!
This by far is the best spring replacement video! I was watching another and failed over the span of 3 hours. Watched this one and got done in 20 mins. Good job!
Thank you so much. Very straight and to the point. Everyone told me to get a pro. I watched your video and replaced both of my springs in about 1 1/2 hours. It's working great. Thanks again!!
I watched several DIY pieces in fixing my door and this one was THE best.... Loved the line: The File "is your new best friend". lol
Ordered all the springs and parts from this guy, watched his videos, and everything was perfect. Thanks!
This is the best video I've seen. Took a little longer for me but these instructions are fantastic. Door was a little hot so I backed each spring back a half a turn and my garage sounds quieter now.
Thanks for the very informative how to video, was able to figure out what springs I needed, easy order from your web site, good price and super fast shipping. I have never done this kind of a project before, but my 13 year old son and I knocked it out in a litter over an hour and the garage door works better then it did when we bought the house. Your DIY video is easy to watch and follow, made thing straight forward. You guys are awesome and saved me a pile of money. Would recommend to anyone. THANKS!!!!!!!!!
This was probably the BEST "how to" video I have ever watched. You definitely adhered to the KISS principle and made it so that someone who has never done this before was able to change the springs with no issue what-so-ever. Thank you so much!!!
Agree, best how to video i've seen on youtube ever
Best so far…agree
Over three years later and this was very helpful in fixing a setup where everything had lost tension. I pulled out my torsion bars and your video took me from totally forgetting to getting it right on the first try. Thanks for keeping the full replacement directions on point and still give good tips, especially on the warning with dangerous locations in the work zone. I fixed my garage on the first try; I had no idea that turns 25-31 would give me such a workout. You were absolutely right about the spring expanding to be longer as it gets tightened up.
Great video. Thank you for posting.
Great video! I knew nothing about these springs before, I was used to the old kind running down each track. When mine broke, I watched this video, ordered the springs, and just finished installing them. Thanks!
It's very obvious that this guy has installed a ton of these things. Great info, safety tips and no wasted time blabbering about unrelated garbage. Thank you!
Thanks for this very clear how-to video. I used it while I was replacing a broken torsion spring in my garage. It was my first time ever doing it, and it went perfectly thanks to your video guidance.
Great informative video, and I'm a 40yr. General Contractor. Never too old to learn! Thank you
YOU ARE THE MAN! just ordered my bars and torsion spring set... your video made me CONFIDENT I can repair my set up BY MY SELF! kudos to u brotha! u deserve a RAISE!
Bought parts from your site and followed this guide all the way - THANK YOU for the clearest instructions for any DIY task I've seen on UA-cam. Had a broken spring that needed replaced - winding the spring had me sweating, but it all worked out perfectly and saved me tons of time and money.
Thank you for your great video! I ordered my parts and replaced mine last night! It saved me over $200 to do it myself!
Great video. As previous commenters have said: you're really knowledgable and right to the point. Thanks for the A+ tutorial.
I just did it too. Thoroughly satisfied. Award-winning instruction. Thank you
Thanks for the great instructions. My garage door has been out of commission for two weeks. I ordered the springs and bars; they came in two days and 45 minutes later my door is back in service...thanks again!!!
I needed help replacing the wrong spring for my door. These guys helped me weigh the door and determine exactly what I needed. They sent me the right springs and the door works incredibly well. Thanks Express Garage Door parts.
wow this made it so easy to follow. i bought the parts from them, they came to me quick and i got them installed in under an hour. thanks guys!
I DID IT!!! Thank you for this video. I must have watched it 10 times through, and then paused-and-replayed during the process to make sure I didn't screw anything up. Installed a 36" spring. Only mistake I made was accidentally threading one of the lifting cables through a bracket, which stopped the door short. Didn't take long to fix that, though.
Just replaced my springs that I was able to measure and order from Express Garage Door Parts. I am a handy guy, but the videos are essential to making sure you don't hurt yourself when applying or removing tension from the springs. Thanks for providing, great tutorial!
Ordered the springs and winding bars from these guys. Prices are good and took only 2 days to receive. Video was straight forward and very helpful. I was able to do my springs and cables in about an hour.
I’ve replaced three sets of garage torsion springs in my lifetime, but still wanted to brush up. This was a great video, very thorough. Thank you!!
Exactly what I needed. Very clear and detailed instructions. Took me 90 minutes, but it is done thanks to you.
Very helpful video! Step by step instructions without all the "fluff". Made changing my garage door springs easy, and saved us around $300. Thank you!
Awesome vid! I watched this several times and just using caution and basic safety precautions, I was able to easily install my spring myself. Thank you so much for this detailed video!
This is a great video instruction. We followed another video and tried multiple times but couldn't get it right. We followed this video and it worked the first time! Thank you!
I came, I saw, I conquered, I now can park in my garage again. Thank you so much for the video.
One of the very best explanations of ANYTHING - EVER!!! ... no wasted time, no wasted intro, no stupid music ... just the facts and very nicely presented. Kudos ... I will buy my needed springs here due primarily to this video!
my thoughts precisely...!
This video outlined the process perfectly, with clear and simple instuctions. I just replaced both springs in my double garage door in about an hour and it works perfectly. Thank you so much!
After seeing how great this guy's videos are - from sizing to installing - I bought a torsion spring kit from his company. Arrived today, installed it in an hour. Saved me money, time (appointment), and I learned some useful knowledge. Thanks!
20 out of 10 I recommend! Parts were delivered next day and when we were installing the springs we noticed my current springs were opposite we called and he called us back and talked us through it and let us know why it was set up that way and that we should install the new springs that way so we would have to wind the opposite way. Great customer service! Glad my friend recommended you guys and I will now continue to recommend you to others.
Ordered your springs/bars combo online and they arrived in 3 days. After a few hours, using this video, I was able to get my springs swapped out without any problems. Thanks for a good, inexpensive product and a great video.
This was spot on and right to the point. Love the "ready for the next step" i could pause, do the work and resume. Nice work!
We just did a Torsion Spring video and made sure to give you a plug. You don't realize it, but Helen & I bought our springs from you and your service was EXCELLENT.
Love your video, Thank you!
This video was straight to the point and you guys are true professionals. Helped me put a new spring in and I am truly grateful.
Great Video, smooth and easy replacement also I just sent a photo of the inside of my garage door to tech support and was instructed as to what type of springs I needed. Very please with this company.
I just replaced my kid brothers broken garage door torsion spring at his home. It was easy. I just watched the video a few times, Made some notes. No problem. But you do need to be careful working with those springs. All you need is some basic tool's. I did very good doing it the first time. Everything works great no problems. This video was very very helpful . Thank you. It save my brother a lot of money. Know he owes me a dinner. Thanks again.
Wanted to thank you for the video. Yours was so good l didn’t watch any of the others. I went to your website telling me how to measure spring wire diameter, length and coil ID ordered both springs and draw bars. Had them replaced in no time! Thank you guys, you are appreciated!
Great video. The springs that I ordered from your company came today and an hour and a half later the garage door is working the way it is supposed to and the tools are put up. Thanks for an informative video and great service.
Thank you for the video. It was so well made I was able to order the spring from you guys, and installed it in about 1 hour going extra slow. I did have take the tension back to 28 from 31 For my door. I am now confident that I can do it again.
After watching your video, and buying the parts I needed, it only took me 1 hour to get it done. Everything went as you explained it. I appreciate your time and effort.
This helped me every step of the way. Did not want to pay someone and take off work. Took it apart, ordered parts, installed after work. All done and working.
I am an absolute diy guy and this is the most informative and accurate video I could find online. Thank you so very much. I will be ordering a set of torsion springs and bars today. Your website is also very informative and precise. All that said. Great video 5 stars. Thank you.
Really professional, well-done instructional video. Everything I needed to know, and nothing extra. Anyone posting a how-to video should take a look at this one first. This is how it's done. No extraneous info. Just clear steps and safety tips. Because I was grateful for the effort you put into this video, I ordered my spring from your company. It came quickly, even though it was a non-standard length (and it was Christmas-time!). I followed your instructions and it went on without a hitch. Thanks!!
Just replaced my springs on my door after watching this video. Saved me so much time and was perfect. Thank you for this video for saving me time and money.
Excellent tutorial. I ordered the parts needed off your website. They arrived in three days. The total repair took me me less than an hour. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I followed your suggestions precisely completed the replacement in about a hour. Everything went perfectly. Side note, I had to order the springs from Express Garage Door and that went exactly as it was supposed. Great experience.
Thank you for posting a clear "How To" video...I fixed my door and saved about $200!
Ordered the springs/bars and received it in 2 days. Watched your videos a couple of times before attempting. Followed your instructions to a T. Happy to say the work is done and all body parts remain intact. Saved $250 doing the work myself. Thank you for the video!
Great video. Changed mine out with no issues thanks to your video. Local places wanted 275-$300 for a single spring on a residential door. I did it for $40. About an hours time.
This video is done incredibly well. At the beginning of this video i had no clue how to repair my garage door. I followed it step by step by pausing the video. I completed the repair first try. I now know how the door is supposed to sound when in proper working condition. Thank you so much!
My husband and I just fixed our 8ft garage door spring and did 35 quarter turns but the door wouldn’t close. We loosened it to 31 turns and it worked. We just saved a lot of
money. Thank you so much!!!
