How Many Turns to Put on Your Garage Door Springs

[@nujval]

My garage door spring broke. Ordered the door spring and tension bars on express garage. Got the parts and replaced it today after watching your great video. Couldn't have done it without you. Saved $$$. Thank you much!

[@Ratlins9]

When a company makes “how to videos “ and others charts for spring tension available to the public, I’m more than willing to patronize this company. Thanks for making this video, I will certainly buy my parts from you.

I’m doing both my torsion springs Wednesday and saving $500! Overhead Door Company have a nice day!

[@larmandude8484]

Thanks for posting this video. I moved into a house where the Garage Door was crooked and all out of kilter. I lined up the drums and followed the video to wind the spring. Worked perfectly!

[@RTChallenger1]

Received our order today .... Installed based on your video, with no issues.... much appreciated...

[@timothybohannon8036]

Worked like a charm. Great company willing to help individual homeowners. Thank you

[@joephillips8244]

Thanks for the excellent video. After watching multiple how to vids, this one seemed the most professional and easy to understand. When its time for a any replacement parts you have my business.

[@tony8074]

Thanks for the demonstration. I just used this on the new garage door I retro fitted. 28 Turns was the trick and it works perfectly. Cheers Tony

[@saulrivera6462]

Followed the tips on a heavy 7 ft. Martin door. I added one more quarter turn. Perfect! Thank you.

[@jahatton]

This video takes all the guesswork out of spring tightening. I'm ready to do mine! Thanks

[@nicgin3945]

How did it turn out? Haha bout do mine🤙

[@jahatton]

@@nicgin3945 Set it once and haven't needed to adjust it since. :-)

[@westtexas325523]

Information was helpful and easy to understand. Fixed mine in 10 minutes and works better than before, thanks a million brother I was worried if I didnt.fix it I wouldn't get my deposit back on the rental!!!!!!

[@geraldbostock9858]

i watched this video on how to fix my cables, spring and door after 3 quotes for $2k+ for door replacement. 20 bucks later and im back in business. Door still needs replacing but now it can wait a little while longer.

[@Bigounce28]

For a door tracks and spring that should be 1400

[@stantonnicholson3365]

Really great instructional. I had a 7ft door and had to adjust the torsion spring as well as install the cables. I followed your instructions exactly. Thank you for saving me some $

[@chandlersgarage]

Thanks for such a great video. I ordered my springs and tools from you guys, then watched this video. Springs installed successfully! And I still have all ten fingers. Shipping was very fast, thanks for that.

[@ericzaher2733]

Just what I needed to know. Thanks so much for posting. My in-laws garage door is operational again.

[@VirtualFootballClinic]

Thanks for the great tips for adjusting the spring safely.

[@marioontiveros3388]

Very well explained, thanks

[@FatTony83]

Thanks for the videos. Just placed order.

[@sed6]

Great video! Nice and concise. My two spring were at 30 and 26 turns and bringing them up to the recommended 32 turns each did the trick. Thanks!

[@TherealDeltaEcho]

Excellent video!

[@tedkraft6416]

Excellent video! Very well done, made the job a cinch!! Thank you.

[@bunberrier]

Thank you. I was sure there must be a standard for an initial setting, and you provided it.

[@Ali_UsedCarBull]

[@purplehisokagaming]

[@Dhi-fe5eu]

Great video.

[@immixxous]

Great video! I wish I watched this before I had a repairman come and charge me $240 for this!!!

[@JaradSMoore]

Got mine now, thanks!

[@delynnbouldin]

Thank you for the video! Very helpful!

[@Phuong_Nguyen_]

Thank you for this video!!

[@stevew535]

Hello. Very informative. I have the same set up as your video. Do both side have to be equal? Could one side be (31) 1/4 turns and the other be (32) 1/4 turns for alignment? In my case, when the door gets high enough the (2) steel cables on the end stop turning and become very loose so that when its time to close the door the cables are loose and wind on the steel bar instead of inside the wheel. The loose steel cable is by about 3 good winds loose. If I close the door slightly, I can get the cables on track and everything is good. I'm trying to figure out if I can adjust each tension spring. Making it tighter. Nothing has been replaced or change in conditions other than this. Thank you in advance.

[@expressgaragedoorparts5380]

Steve- The 31 recommended quarter turns is just a good starting place for your springs. If your door requires a few more or a few less turns thats fine. The most important thing is to be able to keep the cables on the drums in the up position. Just because one side was adjusted doesn't necessarily mean you have to do the same to there other side but you should try and keep them close to the same. Thank you!

[@79Satd]

@expressgaragedoorparts5380 My door lock does not line up with the slot on the rail sinve it is now touching the ground. The door needs to be raised about 2 inches to engage the lock. What are your recommendations to line it up?

[@indianasb59]

Again!! Thank you for your lessons. ✝️🙏

[@PacoOtis]

Thanks Dude! We owe you a beer!!

[@andrewpiroli1]

Worked perfectly.

[@chrispersinger1982]

I have a 12 ft door and one of my springs broke.. bought new springs and have it set at 35 turns and it shoots up then stops.. im supposed to have 45 turns. Ive not put it there yet but if i do its gonna shoot up even worse.. any ideas?

[@layslatv3140]

do less turns

[@gregorywilp9490]

Outstanding video

[@user-qd8wf4qv7k]

Fantastic information, thank you for posting this video

[@AndysDogHouse]

Great video. I don't use my garage door often. The garage is used for storage. My garage door is hard to open and close. I think I will have to do some lub'n and adjusting.

[@tubezzztube]

Saved my butt! Thanks!

[@c.d.k.7108]

Helpful video. Just had to replace the cables and they were different length by a few inches. Went a head and took tension off spring, set the drums and tensioned the spring per the chart and works great.

[@samhodson6470]

Thank you for these training videos...I live in Southern California and my local garage door company wanted $295 to come out and do this. Not! Me missing work for their 4 hour window of arrival while I miss a half day of work...that will cost even more than the $295 quote.

[@tyroneclarke1666]

Another great video thank you. 🦘🇦🇺

[@txkflier]

I knew there had to be some kind of science to this. Of course, the spring also needs to be the correct size - wire diameter, inside diameter, and length from end to end. Otherwise, the torque won't equal the weight of the door at the proper number of turns.

[@albertoespinal4500]

good job my friend. nice explanation.

[@martinwiebe125]

Awesome video really helpful!

[@expressgaragedoorparts5380]

Glad we could help!

[@pinkpriss]

Perfect for my needs. Right to the point: 7' = 31 quarter turns = memorized!

[@dmitriys7851]

Thanks for the video, just what I needed, worked perfect

[@steggram]

Nice video. It worked for me.

[@hawkdriver0171]

Thanks for the refresher and chart!

[@evanhaberberger5717]

Thanks u helped a bunch

[@anthonybowling57]

Why does the width of the door not count in the calculations of turns?

[@skeeterwendig2076]

Because the turns are for how high the door is. Each full turn brings the door up 1 foot with the cables on the side. Usually a tech may add 1 or 2 quarter additional turns to take the slack of the cable when the door is fully up.
