    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!!!

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.

    Hi young fella. That is the best video on how to change the springs and adjust a door I’ve seen so far. You’ve very clear and straight on to it. Well done mate. 🦘🇦🇺

    This is the best video I've seen. Took a little longer for me but these instructions are fantastic. Door was a little hot so I backed each spring back a half a turn and my garage sounds quieter now.

    Called to get the right spring, Avery was very friendly and helpful. Got my door fixed with no issues. Thank you!

    This was probably the BEST "how to" video I have ever watched. You definitely adhered to the KISS principle and made it so that someone who has never done this before was able to change the springs with no issue what-so-ever. Thank you so much!!!
