[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 15643626, member: 9703"] I had the same situation two years ago. One of the springs snapped and the door fell like an elephant jumped on it. Most people don't realize how heavy a garage door is, especially a double wide door like I have. I literally needed another guy to help me lift it two feet off of the ground. I got a quote of $400 to fix it. I ended up ordering the winding rods and springs, and went ahead and upgraded the opener and did it myself for around $300. I learned an new skill in the process and have repaired two other doors for friends and neighbors since then. No the bad. A co-worker must have really bad luck. He was standing just under his door when a spring broke. the door came down on his toes. It screwed his big toe up royally. That was about three years ago, and he still complains about it. -Jeff Now way you are talking about the torsion spring. [IMG]http://www.manorgaragedoor.com/images/garage-door-springs-repair.jpg[/IMG] Funny you say this. When I did mine I actually got an industrial scale and weighed my door at the mid point and on both ends and did an average. There really was almost no difference in weight in any of the three spots though. I then did the math and figured out which springs I needed. And yes, the original springs were grossly underrated.
