Broken Garage Door Cable Repair!

[@whitemexican8996]

If you're changing the bottom brackets on a door, can you raise the door all the way up so the tension is gone or will that cause it to go up on one side? Or should you just unwind the springs?

First time watching one of your videos & gotta say the intro music 🫡

[@tcgaragedoor]

haha thank you! Ive been experimenting with the intro

I live in one of the houses in texas but we have a garage door. I think it was like 2 or 3 years ago, the garage door broke. Its a manual one btw. The cables snapped but the repair man actually told us they had to replace the whole spring assembly because it was so old that the metal part where us holds the who assembly was bending, So they came with a new one and it works just fine. And a couple of rollers started to come off. But fixed that and hasn't had any issues lately. Our house is built like somewhere in the 2000s.

Glad to hear!

when someone says thankyou, the proper response has always been "You are welcome" not " of course"........ other than that great vid

I’m starting my own garage door repair company soon. What are the most common tension spring sizes that I should keep stocked on my truck?

[@tcgaragedoor]

Good question! ill answer in next video!

[@omarmohsini8806]

207 x 1 3/4 x 24-28in 225 x 1 3/4 x 26 -30 243 x 1 3/4 x 30-36 30 turns = 7.5 totals turns can be -3 , +3 rotation to achieve optimal balance. recommend having a spring gauge tool to find the existing. if i saw the door right away i know the springs are done. why wouldn’t you tell her then instead of torsioning old springs it’s a liability the way you temp fixed the door. the springs are done and the homeowner will call a repair guy within a year or so for new springs. as a professional you always save your clients money and do the job the right way. based on your work you spend a lot of time redoing things.

2 5/8 only if you're doing mainly commercial or overlay doors. Residential 207x2x22 218x2x24 225x2x24 or x 27 234x2x27 243x2x28 or 31 250x2x30 or 28 262x2x36 or 33 That is mostly 7ft high springs some will work for 8ft high however it lowers the cycle life 28 1/4 turns with 12 inch radius. Putting 30 turns with allow the spring to lift extra 10 lbs but does lower the cycle life but not enough to worry about

[@GarageDoorGuy67]

Another job well done!!

[@tcgaragedoor]

Thank you! Another appreciative comment! I look forward to seeing your comments on my videos :)

[@robhall6302]

I took the bottom bracket off not knowing it was under pressure how do I fix it ? ⁹

[@tcgaragedoor]

You are going to need to call a garage door professional

[@kyleriffle2159]

Ive worked on doors in alabama for 8 years also have you ever worked on or with wayne-dalton brand doors their spring system is quite different then the rest ive seen

[@tcgaragedoor]

Can you make a video of you installing the neighbors garage door?

[@tcgaragedoor]

I dont think they are going to get a new garage door any time soon honestly! We do have some installs coming up hopefully i can record!

[@Ab.Repairs-y1d]

What did you charge

[@salkincan7508]

about 1 million dollars i belive

[@tcgaragedoor]

Thats about how much we charged! Absolute steal if you ask me!

[@kennyg572]

I could not seeeeee a thing u were doing. Why didnt u use lighting??

[@tcgaragedoor]

There was no lighting in this house! Ill have to try and find a better way to get lighting... might have to wear a flashlight around my neck or something

[@killahh80]

Hey there's a garage door company called elegant custom garage doors they make custom garages doors have you heard of them

[@tcgaragedoor]

I have not heard of them! Do you work for them?

[@scottiethomas3038]

You should have got the door to the floor as you did and clamp it off and back winded the springs and put new cables on and put tension back on the springs without unwinding springs like you were doing in the video I have been in the garage door business for over 26 years

[@tcgaragedoor]

I couldve done that yes, but the drums couldve easily slipped, and then i wouldve had to do the same thing anyway, so instead of trying and hoping they didnt, i just reset the cables, knowing the door will be perfect! Rather have the piece of mind of me doing it right then hoping the other guy before me did it the right way (probably not)

Be a lot more interesting if show what you charge and your expenses. Everyone is so afraid to show what they make, the self employed channels that are transparent with their prices and net income always have the most views and subscribers.

[@IncognitoInvisible]

Nice try, IRS. 😂
