I would not do this without knowing the door weight. MIL-DTL-83420M says the minimum breaking strength for 3/32 cable is 920 lbs. Obviously you don't want to be anywhere near breaking strength for an overhead lift. ANSI/DASMA102 recommends a safety factor of 5. So, 368lbs door weight for 2 cables. Most doors this would work pretty good, but 3 of us couldn't lift my door so probably more than 368, maybe 350-450lbs. I just thought your 900 lbs rated is misleading and potentially dangerous. 920 lbs is the breaking strength, the working load limit for 2 cables is 368lbs. You can exceed the limit if you want, but I don't think you should do it blindly.

My Sommer 550 won't shut all the way. I have about a two inch gap. Is this an easy fix?

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

You're not even going to warn people on how dangerous it is to work with those springs and to use caution?!? One wrong move and those springs could snap and send thousands of pieces of shrapnel flying through the air. Or even the torsion rod. There are thousands of pounds of force behind those springs when tightened. If you don't have those rods in place when you loosen the bolts, those springs will fly loose and could break. If you don't know what you're doing, please do not do this yourself, have someone help you, or educate yourself well before doing this.

You was able to lift that door so easy manually. Incant do that. Does it mean my springs need adjustment? I've always heard you should be able to lift your door easy

Thanks for educating me and sharing your knowledge

I haven't even done this yet but i know its going to resolve my issue now that you explain it. I had a garage door company come out and claim id need a new system so i figured id just get a new seal until i replace everything

Thanks for the great video.

Installed those on 1997 Stanley, works yes but it made the remotes U/S? Wired Push buttons work. Any ideas

How to redo spring & side Tension wheels?

Thank's for the video !

i guess it could be a dumb question, but why is it necessary to loosen the spring and put the winding bar if the string is to be tigthened before working on the drum anyway?

Like others have mentioned, this video is prefect and should be the guideline for others who make “DIY” videos. It’s short and right to the point. There’s no nonsense stories, useless talking or “can’t find tools” filming, etc. Nicely done all the way around. 👍

I have multi code 1090 car remotes work had to change battery in my KLIK2U Cant figure out how to reprogram my key pad any idea of the programming sequence

This video was BS. Ok thanks for showing me what the bracket looks like, show me how to install it for Fk sake.

Great video. I would add that it be a good idea to lubricate the new roller pins before inserting them.

Why don't you just support and clamp the torsion rod and remove the bearing plates without having to loosen the torsion spring ?

I need a garage door opener for all star. Can you buy these and bond it to your garage door opener how do you replace it?

Mine was a bad solder joint on the RPM sensor. Yes it got knocked around cuz of the play on the motor axle. Fixed that and the bad solder point. All good.

I have the same double torsion spring setup but the one on the right side just will NOT go up more than an inch. I was able to adjust the left. Does that mean its binded ? It does not look broken. The bottom foot of my door is very hard to push closed

Thanks for posting......Great Video

Hi Kyle. Fabulous video! Wow...I watched a video before yours where a DIY guy installed the new cable while the garage door was up. Your method seems much easier and way more professinal. I'll check out your website next. Thank you for posting this.

11/9/23 I would check to see if the shaft can be pushed back so the black cover can slip on the shaft more. Loosen the Allen screws on the o ring on the shaft and see if the shaft can move back some so the black cover can fit better. Fixed mine

The best video out there you can see the experience

Hey Kyle thanks for your video instructions, I appreciate your professional expertise and the manner in which you demonstrate that. I appreciate also for being down to earth, and not like other/most CZcamsrs who are arrogant and who just make constant condescending digs directed at those people who are just trying to learn something… right, I mean that’s exactly why you make these tutorial videos. You’re a good person I can tell, thank you again

I got ahead of myself when replacing the rollers, and I mistakenly removed the red screws from the bottom door bracket. (They were not red on my door like they are in other videos.) Luckily the cables onle pulled up the bracket about 4 inches. So I used a C-clamp to make sure it doesn't move any further or fly off from the tension. So what do I do now? How do I reattach the bracket and cable safely. I do not have the winding bars to secure the main coil. What can I use instead to secure the coil?

Love this! Great info, no messing around! My kinda speed Thank you 🙏

Is there a standard chart for door weights or do the different styles in hinges and such make the difference where you have to weigh

Love the ECHO CHAMBER.

Simple! Excellent! Thanks!

Great video very helpful thanks for sharing

Great video

Watching this video I would be very comfortable doing this job.

I got the 3/32 cable when I bought springs bearings and rollers from you place. the rt side cable came off the spool-drum and mildly kinked. is it ok to use no fraying. Your videos are very educative. Thank you regards .sesha chary

Very educative thank you regards

Can I program the garage door remote in the visor of my Ford truck to this receiver?

Great video. Easily understood made replacing my garage door springs simple. Thank you

Im doing a High lift and trying to figure out what springs to use. I currently have 0.225 Red that are 32" long. Door is a Wayne Dalton 8700 15x7 vinyl insulated and weights 200lbs, it will go straight up with only one section on the horizontal when open.

God bless you brother and your team! Thank you very much for teaching me how the odds and ins of fixing my door and saving me bunches of my hard earn bucks to go back to my house and kids❤

Very Very Thanks for this video!!! I have exactly the same problem as you shown. Going to fix :)) now

wow what a great info an! thanks

That vice grip to prevent the torsión shaft from falling is top notch 👌

Thank you

I am about to install a 10x10 roll-up door in the barn by myself, and this video gave me the world of confidence I can install my own door and save $4000 for installation charges. Great presentation.

Thank you so much for posting the videos on how to measure torsion spring size and how to install the springs. You provide invaluable information concisely and briefly with no extra unnecessary fluff. Your videos helped me with the installation process. Saved a bunch of $$ in doing so. Thanks again.

Saved this link 3 years ago when cables went on one garage door. Now using again when the second door cables rusted out. Hope you got lots of business out of this video, since it has helped lots of DIY people.

Great step-by-step directions. Concise and to the point. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

I like this video. Thank you

your video content is truley informative

Very very informative video you shared with us thank you
