Sectional Garage Torsion Springs 6.35 X 1000

WARNING:

Replacing a garage door spring can be a dangerous task and should only be done by trained professionals. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or damage if handled improperly. Here are some important warnings to keep in mind:

1. High Tension Risk: The springs are under a lot of pressure, and if they break or are improperly handled, they can snap, causing flying debris or sudden movements of the door, which can result in injury.
2. Proper Tools and Knowledge: Replacing a spring requires specialized tools, and without them, you risk injuring yourself or damaging the door mechanism. A professional has the experience and tools to handle the task safely.
3. Incorrect Tension: If the spring is not correctly adjusted, it can affect the balance and function of the garage door, causing it to become misaligned or even damaging the opener system.
4. Spring Types: Garage doors typically use torsion springs (above the door) or extension springs (on the sides of the door). Each type requires a different method of replacement, and incorrect installation can lead to malfunction.
5. No DIY for Springs: It’s not recommended to attempt replacing the springs yourself unless you are trained and experienced. Many companies offer professional spring replacement services to ensure safety and proper installation.

If you’re not experienced with garage doors, hire a professional to replace the spring. They can ensure the job is done safely and correctly.
