Fixing garage doors, especially changing torsion springs, threatens work, whether you are a do-it-yourself house owner or a knowledgeable technician. It is impossible to cover every dangerous scenario you might experience. Pay unique attention to the cautions that appear in red.

ATTENTION! Due to dangerous steps below that can lead to physical injury, we recommend that you thoroughly study all the instructions listed below before starting your work. 2.1 2 crucial presumptions will assist you execute this replacement safely. Initially, assume that the springs are going to break as you loosen up or wind them. Keep clothes and body parts far from the springs. Wear shatterproof glass. 2.2 2nd, assume that the cone will slip or explode as you relax and wind the spring. Keep your head out of the path of the winding cone. Keep your hands away from the cones so that if and when the winding bar slips out of the cone and your hand jerks up, the cone does not rip your flesh or wrap your clothing and body parts into the spring. These older Crawford and Mc Kee torsion spring cones were made for 5/8 “bars. In some cases, however, the holes are too small for 5/8” bars. Whatever you do, do not use a 1/2 “bar; instead, grind down a 5/8″ bar to fit. I just recently had a Mc Kee spring let loose after winding because I utilized a 1/2″ bar when my 5/8” bar wouldn’t fit. The only safe method to change these older springs is to make.

a winding bar for each hole of each cone. 2.4 The very same holds true of Older Overhead, Bar Col and Raynor torsion springs that have winding cones with irregular hole sizes. If you insert a 1/2 “X 18” bar in some of these holes you can move the opposite end of the bar over 4 inches. I have actually had a number of the older cones spin loose from my bars, the last one producing an$ 1800 emergency clinic costs.

If your cones resemble any of these, or if they have more than 2″ of play, leave the job of setting up torsion springs to a professional garage door mechanic. Some older openers are hardwired and you will require to remove a fuse or flip the circuit breaker. 2.6 Disengage the opener from the door. Some garage door openers have a neutral position for the trolley detach. On older openers you may require to eliminate the L-shaped drawbar arm. We do not recommend replacing torsion springs with the garage door open. Stretching the springs the width of eight or 9 coils is hard, and leveling the garage door can also be challenging. Back to Leading Gather the supplies and tools required for changing the springs safely. In addition to the torsion springs you’ll require a minimum of a couple of 10″ vise grips, an adjustable wrench, and two 1/2″ X 18″ winding bars.
