Torsion springs and bars from Express Garage Door Parts arrived today. After watching this video 3 times and replacing my torsion bars by myself I'm still alive, my garage door works and I'm drinking a celebratory beer.

[@rossmcphee7496]

I have watched many DYI videos on many subjects & this is the best one I've seen. Concise, but thorough. I was able to replace my spring safely & efficient.

[@mikeveine]

I wish I would have watched your vidio first before attempting to replace my springs. Unfortunately I watched another one and they skipped an important step that cost me hours of frustration. I eventually watched your video and redid the entire process and it only took me 20 minutes to get it done right. Thanks.

[@TimWilson-c1u]

One of the best instructional videos I have seen. After viewing it a couple of times I was able to install new torsion springs and repair my garage door. Taking my time in the interest of safety the repair time from start to finish was 90 minutes. Complete, simple, and well presented video. My thanks and hats off to Express!

[@shaywill24]

Great video! Helped me save $300 by replacing my broken spring myself! I was able to successfully replace both springs by using the right tools, watching this video a few times and being very careful. I am a woman that’s 5,3’ and 140 pounds for reference. Thanks so much for an awesome and very detailed video!!

I just fixed the tension springs in my garage door because of this video. I'm only a month away from being 30 years old and this is the first time I've ever had to fix one of these things. This video made it possible for me to do so. Thank you.

[@markmalinowski6622]

so many people talk about how afraid they are to do these. if a person takes their time, is methodical and careful, and follows your directions, it's very straightforward. best how-to video, in terms of clarity, conciseness, etc that I think I've ever seen

[@SheikShak]

Agree..

[@ethanbrown7519]

Just finished replacing both springs after one broke! This was the best instructional video ever! I was glad it wasn’t one of those videos that makes it look easy and then it’s actually really hard.

[@Double_A_Ron]

Excellent instructional video! This didn't save me money, it MADE me money! My landlord PAID me to install new springs (I had him buy from Y'all) and the garage door opens and closes better than it ever has! Customer service is excellent getting the proper springs. Thank you 🙌

[@brokenology]

I’ve installed maybe 100 garage doors in the time that I was a garage door technician. However, after not doing it for years, I had to watch this video to remember how to do certain things to replace my grandparent’s spring. Thank you for uploading this video. It has brought my memory back.

[@miltonpowell2303]

I'm so grateful to you for taking your time and knowledge and investing it in this video for all of us. When this happened last week, I called the company that installed our garage who told us it would cost between $300-$500 to repair. It had to get done so I booked the appointment however, during booking my wife came here, and while viewing the video my son sprung into action and quickly followed your instructions removing the part. We were then able to find a replacement on the net [$130 for all the pieces we needed] and this morning it took him about 15 mins to put in. All together it took about 30 mins to install and was a whole lot cheaper than what they would have charged us. Thanks for being such a great Samaritan.

[@Black-ice_fpv]

Thats a dam good job buddy, keep your standards my friend, the world need more people like you.

[@CBRMackie63]

Thanks for the great instructions. My garage door has been out of commission for two weeks. I ordered the springs and bars; they came in two days and 45 minutes later my door is back in service...thanks again!!!

[@robsnizzle79]

Awesome video Sir, that's one hell of a process. My torsion spring on my old ass garage door just snapped (probably because it's as old as the damn house, lol). Now, its time to update the old bastard including the garage door opener. Again thanks for the vid, very helpful.👍🍻

[@Dougout92]

I've watched your video twice. You have done an excellent job in showing how to change springs. I feel very confident to do the job on our broken spring. THANK YOU! Doug

[@mcini11389]

Use customer service to help get a spring and watched the video while I did it. It took me around an hour to start up and breakdown. Great video appreciate the well documented process and explanation.

[@Realz206]

Called in this morning for a little help and I can honestly say, it's some of the best customer service I've ever had.

[@DropofLead]

Just replaced my springs that I was able to measure and order from Express Garage Door Parts. I am a handy guy, but the videos are essential to making sure you don't hurt yourself when applying or removing tension from the springs. Thanks for providing, great tutorial!

[@Therea1Stig]

You are awesome for this the local tech wanted two grand tow swap out the springs…literally saved me money…thank you!

[@florianneuhauser8027]

Watched your video, ordered parts from your company, and installed the springs in about 40 minutes. Thanks for this video! It saved me a significant amount of money.

[@MikeBrown-rr9wj]

TODAY, this video saved me tons of money. I ordered direct from the company and the springs and rods got here in 3 days from across the nation. Took about an hour to do the job thanks to this video.

[@OrlandoFernandez-t4y]

You did a fantastic job with your video! It did not include a bunch of unnecessary information, talking and footage. It was straight to the point. Your explanations were very clear and concise. Your video work was great as well. More you tubers need to take notes from you. Great job

[@deadlight33]

Thank you so much for the videos. I was able to order the correct springs and repair my garage door safely for much cheaper than having a company come out and do it. I was super impressed by the quick shipping I had a tracking number 15min after ordering! The springs arrived the next day. KZbin is amazing for the homeowner to accomplish so much DIY!

[@Serrndipity]

My husband and I just fixed our 8ft garage door spring and did 35 quarter turns but the door wouldn’t close. We loosened it to 31 turns and it worked. We just saved a lot of money. Thank you so much!!!

But you do need to be careful working with those springs. All you need is some basic tool's. I did very good doing it the first time. Everything works great no problems. This video was very very helpful . Thank you. It save my brother a lot of money. Know he owes me a dinner. Thanks again.

[@IMRANnet]

Excellent. I don’t even need to change springs but your presentation skills and details ensured my interest watching the whole thing. Thx.

[@TiaGo2k6]

Excellent video, helped me out of a jam!! Note guys, if you don't fully adjust the springs 30 1/4 turns the cables will keep falling off the drums and tangling each time you open the door beyond a certain point, causing you to start all over - don't be afraid, the resistance becomes extreme after about 20+ but keep going to 30 regardless!!!

[@MervsServiceSecrets]

We just did a Torsion Spring video and made sure to give you a plug. You don't realize it, but Helen & I bought our springs from you and your service was EXCELLENT.

20 out of 10 I recommend! Parts were delivered next day and when we were installing the springs we noticed my current springs were opposite we called and he called us back and talked us through it and let us know why it was set up that way and that we should install the new springs that way so we would have to wind the opposite way. Great customer service! Glad my friend recommended you guys and I will now continue to recommend you to others.

I appreciate you emphasizing the springs can be “hot”, I have a Genie 7055 and it would go up but not down again. Had to loosen off 3 quarter turns each side to balance it. You are the man, thank you again.

This video is done incredibly well. At the beginning of this video i had no clue how to repair my garage door. I followed it step by step by pausing the video. I completed the repair first try. I now know how the door is supposed to sound when in proper working condition. Thank you so much!

[@marshalljhughes007]

Thanks for the video. I'm mostly handy and replaced my torsion springs in about 90 mins from start (getting tools, removing old springs) to finish (testing and putting tools away). Laptop and your video at my side - pause/do/play/repeat. My center bracket wasn't like yours so it didn't hold the bar in place very as I removed/replaced items. Also, I watched the left cable instructions about 10 times until I let it play to see your right side instructions were much clearer (verbally and visually). I wish they were reversed. Overall, fantastic job. And thank you for saving me several hundred dollars and a few days wait for a tech to arrive.
