Are you looking for China door factory?

I have question about the arage door spring?

What is the safest easiest way to replace the garage door spring. The kind that is above the garage door. Its a .250 (I think) spring.

I told my husband call Lowes and they said they aren’t allowed to sell the torsion springs.

They do sell extension springs but not torsion springs.

The spring is broken so theres no tension in it.

Answer:

Be safe and have a pro come out and do it.If you have to much tension on it you can get badly hurt..

Because torsion springs are very dangerous to install. You have to know what you are doing. If you’ve never done it before, hire a professional. I’ve done it but I have had a lot of experience in maintenance and even then I was very nervous, but careful. If you lose you grip while tightening them you could get hurt badly. There has to be just enough tension to assist in opening the door and keeping it up without falling from it’s own weight.
