thanks for the video. Had to do my garage door springs today. Did it exactly how you explained it. Stayed safe and successfully balanced my double garage door. Didn't take very long and the door operates so much easier now. Thanks for your video ....
Been working with rebar for 40 years in construction and I have seen brand new bars and old ones just snap perfectly into for no reason in summer and winter, I would spend the $15 and get a set or hardened steel winding bars. Thank you for a helpful video.
I looked at the tensioner setup. Figured out what i needed to do. Almost jumped right into it but realized there is a lot of energy stored in that spring. Glad I took the time to look at your vid. Now i know I'm going to do it without the chance of getting hurt. Thanks bro'
Thanks for your excellent video. I do nearly everything myself, but I've stayed away from adjusting springs until I watched your video. The Genie helpline and other sources give the impression that if your door balances at 4 feet your springs aren't the problem, and the motor should be able to lift the door. After several other adjustment misadventures with the door opener, I adjusted the springs, and my door works as it should. I posted a video of my own so others could benefit from my misadventures and referenced your video in my description.
This is an extra step that adds another safety concern.....you're hitting on the winding cone with the winding bars installed and still held under tension by you. I wouldn't do this....and this other pro agrees. See this other vid at his timeline 11.42 to 12.04---> ua-cam.com/video/5k9qrgZ9rPs/v-deo.html . Also note this....on this original video we see here, he advises making a mark and hitting/moving the cone, but after he bangs on the cone....I don't see any resulting movement at all and he still tightens down as if it didn't move. I ask that question here in the reader response section elsewhere, and have not yet heard his answer to this.
Thank you so much for posting this. I adjusted my springs with no problem. Your instructions were clear and accurate and I appreciate the safety tips. I followed exactly step by step and it worked out nicely.
I spent $200 for 15 minutes of work. Found this video now I’m taking a month to learn everything I can about fixing and installing garage doors. Side hustle economics
Unbelievable!! Great video! Thank you thank you!! My friends who ARE handy told me NOT to do it. NOT being handy like them, but willing to try, I ordered the winding bars from Amazon, saw your video like 3.....or 10 more times (LOL) got enough courage and with my wife as assistant, we did it.
You have more guts than me. I think my garage door has so much tension it is slamming thr door down. Not sure but going to check a price on someone doing it for me. I am a carpenter and dont want to mess with it. Both cables came off and door is fricking stuck down.
@@malcolmkhummel3 The springs do not work or "tension" in that direction (down) and are only to help lift and balance the door (up). If your door is slamming down, it is only from its own weight unless someone torqued the springs in the opposite direction. I realize that your comment is at least a year old but others may see it in the future.
As the spring cones are made of a cast metal it generally pays to avoid impacts to prevent it cracking, I just apply a small amount of sideways pressure on the last turn instead
Great tip on the mark to prevent binding of the spring; only place I've seen that tip. Replacing broken spring, + a second new one,7 have watched a lot of vids about the process. After adjusting the springs, can't emphasize enough to make the adjustment bars as long as will work. It's a serious workout when you get to the last 25% of the turns! I can hardly type, right now. Just finished, and the recommended turns were not enough to balance the door. Think I'll wait 'til tomorrow to get back at it, give my arms & shoulders a break, first. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have a two door garage that needed adjustment as they were never adjusted correctly. This video was informative as I was able get them both rigged properly in good time. I was tempted to use rebar but decided to use hardened steel rods. Overall this video was excellent 👍🏽
Thanks! You convinced me never to try this at home after experiencing the full weight of my garage doors with the lifting cables disconnected. Professional help needed for sure.
This video is very useful for two different cases: This tells a confident DIY-er what is needed to do the job carefully and correctly. And, since it clearly describes what is needed, it gives good advice to a less-confident person that maybe this job isn't for them. I fully respect someone evaluating their skills and willingness to take on the job, balancing the risks, and making a decision not to take it on. There's a lot of energy stored in that spring!
After changing the spring tension, you may need to recalibrate the downforce on your opener. I did, after using this video (and buying tensioning bars) and everything went well.
Excellent video for the home owner do it yourself type person. I watched it because I haven't installed a garage door in ten years. It was an excellent reminder of everything I had learned years ago.
I want to Thank you, although my door is a rear spring design, this gave me enough info to be able to work out how to fix my off centre door and make it a heck of a lot better and quieter. your demonstration helped achieve a valued outcome.
I adjusted both of my garage doors today. They were both under wound, making the opener strain to open the door. One door took a full wind and the other only needed 3/4 of a turn. It doesn't sound like much, but the difference was readily apparent! I bought my Premium winding sticks at Amazon for $13.99 which were zinc plated and had knurling on the handles.
Saved me a cool 200 dollars. Garage door opener's middle rail was bending and not closing. Turned out the spring was way to tight and needed to be loosened. Never knew the garage door should be easy to open and close manually. Oddly, one side of the spring was waaaaay tighter than the other. Tested my adjustments by manually opening and closing the door.
I appreciate this video and all the comments. I had to replace the nylon gear in my 1/2 hp Linear last December and it just broke again. I do not want to just change out the great without finding out why it keeps tearing up. This video will help me, thanks.
Great Video, I have a door that was slightly damaged and I added a box section of aluminium at the bottom of the last Panel to straighten it. Consequently the door became unbalanced! Because I am in my mid 70s, I decided to call a professional to do the adjustment of the spring as I considered for my age that this job could be a bit on the dangerous side! Your video gave me good insight!
I was having issues with my door slamming shut during the last couple inches before it touched the floor. I started watching the springs as the door closed and right before the door hit the floor the springs would pop and shift. Because of that, the door would sometimes open itself back up. So, upon doing some research, Google told me that maybe the springs need adjustment. I came to this video and you mentioned the possibility of the springs binding up. Something I never thought of. So I soaked the springs in WD40 and it completely solved the problem. With a little bit of lube, the spring coils don't grind each other and the door closes smoother than ever.

Excellent advice and teaching straight to the point 👍 I noticed with the turning of the tension mounts you turned the first side in anticlockwise then the last spring you turned it clockwise direction I’m glad I came across this I would not of realised the danger as you mentioned thanks for sharing 😎
@@narouspk On the left side, it was anti-clockwise when looking at it from the LEFT side in toward the center. On the right side, it was clockwise when looking at it from the RIGHT side, in toward the center. Regardless of that, the important thing is that it should be obvious that you should be able to feel that you are going in the direction of *increasing* the tension. (This assumes that the door is too "heavy" and needs more lift, as shown in this video. If the door is flying upward, that would indicate that there is too much tension already, and you would need to move the spring adjustment in the direction of *decreasing* tension on both sides.)
Good video, to the point. Loosening the rear set screw first does keep your body parts out of the way should the winding hole in the cone break. Been there done that have the scars to prove it.
Thank you. Just had this done and the tech, who was experienced, wanted to level the doors and in adjusting the spring broke it. I do not believe he loosened the set screws. He then charged me to replace the spring.
Yours was the first one I watched, used a 3/8 extension bar and big screwdriver, I get using winding bars but guess what...it worked just fine. Just stay out of the way if something goes sideways and take your time. Thanks for the vid.
A video like this is good for (information only) I've been doing doors for 10yr Springs are very dangerous and I do not recommend homeowners or DIY work on the Springs
Another thing is you don’t grip the door all the way down. You put the grip like 4 inches above the roller which allows you to see if the door comes up off the ground while you are still up there where you can take a quarter turn off or so if it comes up on its own. This also prevents you from getting down on the ground and removing that grip and the door flying open because you put too much tension on the springs
i have to adjust my grandmothers garage door when i put it all the way up, it comes back down half of the bottom panel, enough to just caress the top most point of her cars roof and it caught and bent my antenna once. thanks for this vid, itll be a huge help
Great tutorial. on the second video I watched, the man didn't use the second vice grip on the wheel channel. It's better to be safe. I have to adjust my cousins garage door, it wasn't done correctly from a new build. It's always had a garage door opener. When you push the door up, theirs very little tension on it and it drops back down. I found out when I installed the rope for the emergency release. It never had one. You find that out when you lose power.
Thanks for the very informative clear cut instructions on how to do this. And as far as the bars go. I love when someone finds a way to make their own tool that is probably just as good or better than the no doubt overpriced once they try to sell you.
Rebar is soft steel designed to be bent. If you want to make your own bars buy a 3' piece of 3/8 cold rolled steel and cut it in half. It's not worth the the risk of using Rebar. Or just buy a real set online
I learned the hard way, loosened set screws without holding spring. Snapped my rachet in half when it spun around, I still check my fingers when I think about that. Luckily, I did not get hurt. I called a garage door repair guy first question he asked if I was OK
thanks bro.. that's killer.. i watched this for 5 mins, and then went and did mine perfectly. well, almost perfectly at (3) 1/4 turns. sometimes it stops when closing, so i need to ease it back to (2) 1/4 turns instead of (3) 1/4 turns.
I have spray lubricant from HD / Lowes that is made especially for the springs and moving parts called Garage Door Lube. If you are more frugal some techs apply used motor oil on the springs. Recommended once or 2 times per year.
@@helpinguonline Thank you for the reply. I have that product… just wanted to confirm that it was what you recommend for the springs, as well. Great video, BTW. I now feel confident I can perform this adjustment myself. 👍
You are ahead of the typical homeowner if you lubricate your springs at all... keep up the good work and enjoy your door operating properly longer than most...
Thank you for creating this video. You've motivated me to do the job myself. The one commenct I would have is why didn't you protect the guy's drywall on the ceiling so the vice grips wouldn't create damage? The dude clearly cares about his garage.
Honestly I wouldn’t listen to half of this recommended information this is a very good way to get sent to the hospital. He standing directly in front of a spring with a piece of rebar. Use your imagination what would happen if the spring breaks while holding the bar
Thankfully the one I am working on is a small door with a single small spring. I just don't have enough hands so I need to go buy some vice grips since mine seem to have absconded on me.
Excellent information. In your experience, what's the worst case when the spring breaks. Do pieces break off and go flying, or does it simply unwind forcefully in place.
Professional here just wanted to say rebar will fail under enough tension and also neat oddball left-hand wind spring with the red spray paint on it, screw universal cones
Just had to adjust the left side. Opener was giving me trouble. I must’ve not tightened the set screws enough. Spring seemed loose and was touching my mark so I knew the issue. Working well again.

Agree with this. Rebar is way too soft.
rebar will bend before breaking. Any force that I can lift over my head with an 18" bar is not enough to bend rebar, let alone break it.
I unwind torsion springs with my bare hands 💪
