Guys, PLEASE subscribe if I helped you out. That's all I ask. Trying to reach 100k before I die. Lol. Thanks!
This tutorial is phenomenal. I’ve watched many videos regarding this problem and NONE OF THEM display the level of expertise that you incorporate with a practical articulate explanation of each step. I’ve got 99 problems and my garage door ain’t one of them any longer. Keep making videos my good man.
Broh, I really appreciate the awesome feedback. Your comment just made my day! Thank you for posting. 👊🏼
Turned a technician away this week that was going to charge me $1300, come to find out all I needed was to reset cables, and adjust tension thanks to you and my buddy who found this video! Just made my weekend oh so sweeter!
Awesome comment! Saving money is the name of the game my friend. Especially in today's society.
I really appreciate the support and Super Thanks. 👊🏼
I spent 6 hours over the last two days trying to fix my garage door, never thought to try this approach. This is exactly the kind of tutorial i was looking for, thanks!!
Glad to help! I really appreciate the awesome feedback. 🙏🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 me too. Until I saw this video.
Clean and precise
I am about to attempt this. This video is very precise. You should be a shop teacher at your local high school. Very calm and confident.
YOU saved me $210 CAD, did everything step by step per your video, thanks much!! 🍻
My spring snapped in half (2nd time in about 10-12 years). Your video was way more practical and helpful than another I watched. Thank you for making it less traumatic.
I really appreciate the kind words sir 🙏🏼.
By far, the best video I've seen on CZcams so far for fixing garage doors. Thanks!
I appreciate the feedback! 💥💯💥
Turned my 4 hr struggle into a 20 min fix. Excellent video.
I appreciate the awesome feedback ☺️.
By far best garage door fix video, two suggestions, make sure door is lifting level, if it’s not, shim the bottom and retention one of the pulleys to get it level and have equal tension on both cables. If one cable is tight and the other is not, just tighten the loose one by using the vice grip as a safety and resetting the set screws. I completed this but cables came off three times while cycling door, took a while but realized that something must have fallen and bumped the side vertical rail and moved it out of vertical, fixed that and door works perfectly. Good luck with your repair!
Great job fixing your door! I really appreciate the awesome comment. Filled with useful information. Feedback is welcomed for sure! 😎👍🏼
This video was incredibly well done. Simple, to the point, great and wise advice. Thank you.
I appreciate the awesome feedback! Thank you. 👍🏼
Exactly what I needed, thanks! We've had to run to the door and lift after hitting the button so it wouldn't stop (not telling you how many ye..... How long we've been lifting it. Now just push the button.
Glad to help! 😊
Initially wasted the afternoon by trying to figure it out myself. After finding this video, it only took me an hour. So thanks very much for the video tutorial!
Glad to help! I appreciate the awesome feedback. 👍🏼
AB from Australia here. Awesome video! Thanks so much. Subscribed :)
I have to say, this is the best tutorial on garage door repair I have seen! One of our cable drums broke and of course, the door couldn’t be raised. Another YT vid showed where to order a new pair of drums on Amazon ($20 delivered next day), and I followed your video exactly. Our single door is 9 feet high. Everything went perfectly, and saved us $160 easy instead of using a pro installer. We have 0 extra money, so this savings was huge. Thank you so much. BTW…the 7/16” nuts are 3/8” now. 😉 IMPORTANT….winding up the spring is pretty creepy as you get near the end. Ours took 38 quarter turns and it was kinda tough for this 73 year old. Do what he suggests and get the winding bars. If you use anything smaller, it could slip out and SERIOUSLY hurt you or a bystander!
Glad this video helped! Saving money in this economy is key. Good job yourself getting the job done.

@@ineedbass1did you use screwdrivers?? I understand why he said not to use them but standing off to the side you should be safe.
God bless and remember bless others 👍💪🙏
@sircoolbox $15 for some winding bars is cheaper than an emergency room visit. 😜😁
You’re a life saver. Took me 2 tries but it worked! I appreciate you !
Glad to help my friend. Any garage door and opener questions you have reach out. I'm always here! 👍🏼
Great video, sir! You saved me a service call. Glad I had two random metal rods lying around. ;-)

Glad to help my friend! That's right. You got this! 👊🏼
Appreciate you bro!! This is a well explained how to video and I loved the added in humor sound bites ❤
I love this comment!! I appreciate the feedback bud. 👊🏼
Really appreciate the video, just order a set of twisting rods too. First time I feel like I know/understand what I need to do. 😀
I have a small door for my mowers that both cables jumped and then a single full-size with one cable jumped.
No problem! Glad to make it easy to understand.
You got this buddy! 👊🏼
Holy smokes...i followed your directions and everything went as you described. I'm relatively handy but was intimidated by fixing my door. Thank you...AWESOME video!
My garage door line just popped off tonight. Looking forward to fixing it like this in the AM and impressing my wife. :)
Right on broh! 👊🏼 You got this my guy. We need all the browning points we can get with the wives. 😂
You have a great how to right here bud!!! Thank you!!!! Going to a job tomorrow to do the exact same thing🙌🏼

Your video saved my life today! Thank you soooooooo much. It's the kind heart of people like you that makes me have a new found hope for humanity. Thank you sooooo much for your generosity sharing your knowledge with the world. I'm a new subscriber now. 👍👍👍👍👍
Going to try this tomorrow. Been doing a lot of repairs in my aunts home. Her garage door has been getting a lot of usage. Went to open it today and it only came up a ft. Had to crawl under it to enter and a cable was laying on the ground. Looks like it covers every step. Thanks!
You got this buddy! 👊🏼
I loved this vlog. Properly detailed and shows each step clear and wise. ❤
🙏🏼
Awesome video! Thank you so much for posting! I was just about to throw in the towel and buy a new door, but this video spared me from having to write that check.
Hell yeah bro! 👊🏼 Good job getting it fixed. Saving money is the name of the game. 🤟🏻
Thank you thank you thank you! Great how to video. I was struggling getting my cables back on but this helped tremendously!
Glad you got something out of the video!
I really appreciate the awesome feedback. 💯👊🏼
As a handyman, I watch numerous videos like this. This is def one of my favorites. Very clear and useful information. Thank you for taking the time to make this!
I'm really happy this video is making an impact on this particular subject. I'm very grateful for your comment sir! 👍🏼
Thank you so much. Door has had issues for years. Going to attempt to fix it this afternoon. Thanks.
No problem!
Please let me know how it goes. 🙏🏼
@@garagedoorgenius well it goes up and down much smoother but it is obviously unlevel now. Right side is higher than the left by maybe an inch. Now what?🤣
@@Redfish3240 Go to the side that's off the floor . Take your 7/16 wrench and loosen the set screws on that side drum. Now when you do it, don't fully take the set screws loose. When you're loosening them up, baby steps. Once those set screws are loose enough, what's going to happen is that side of the door will drop down to the floor. You have to be very careful though. Don't loosen the set screws too much. Micro adjusting. Once door is to the floor tighten the screws back up.
@@garagedoorgenius ok. I admit it. You sir are a genius! I was skeptical at first but you solved my problems. Followed the instructions to the letter and it worked. I’m impressed. Door goes up and down smoothly and no jerking or sounding like it’s about to fall off the tracks. Even my wife was impressed by my (I didn’t mention you🤣) abilities. Thank you for the vid and all of your kind assistance!
@@Redfish3240 this right here made my night! Thanks for the awesome feedback.
Great job fixing the issue my friend. 👍🏼
Very precise, well documented and explicitly expressed instructions. Great video!
Thanks, dude! This video was super helpful. Hope to get this done tomorrow.
I appreciate the awesome feedback. You got this my guy! 👊🏼💯
Okay Garage Door Genius! I just completely installed my First garage door ( 8 x 7 ) thanks to your channel! I had to open and close it a few times just to celebrate! I think it was the Third attempt that passed the test. My door started growling like a bear the first few times I tried while winding the spring and be extra careful not to have my head look like a meatball with extra sauce. The problem was : I placed my Vice Grips upside down and it was difficult to release in the position after tightening the red screws on the cone. I found that 31 (1/4 turns) with the winding bars worked perfect and no more growling at me. I have two more garage doors to go. I ordered the missing bearing on my 8' high door and am waiting for the Mail truck. The next is the 18 x 7 Amarr. I need to study how you wind both springs coils at the same time? ( Two spring set up). THANKS you have the best HOW to and (Don't do this) about garage doors on the internet
Broh, that's so awesome! I was just actually thinking about you. Wondering how it went. Sorry I didn't get back to ya through email. This work week was a very hectic one.
So when you do the double torsion, it's the same process as a single. Once you wind up one spring and tighten it down. You moved to the second one and do the exact same thing. You got this. Easy peasy my man!
I really do appreciate the awesome feedback that you provided in the comments section here. That makes me feel good that I'm actually putting out a good product meaning my videos. Please keep me informed on the process on the other two doors.
Easy to follow. Nice to have a 2 car garage or an existing cable on the door to follow which direction to wrap the cable. Half a beer job for both sides. Thanks the the easy to follow video.
Thank you for the comment broh! 👊🏼 Cheers!
You did a excellent job of explaining and demonstrating this repair .Thanks!
That's so awesome to hear! I really appreciate the comment letting me know.
Perfect tutorial, helped me out a ton. Good job man and thank you!
I appreciate the kudos brother! 👊🏼
Very nice. The safety tip was a great help!
Thank you! I really appreciate the awesome feedback. 💯👊🏼
Dude !!! You’ve made this simple! I will doing my garage door again. I rewound the cable on the pulleys and they came off again. Now I will reset the spring 👍
I really appreciate the awesome comment! 👊🏼
I just did all this and I think I did it right.
Thank you for teaching me a skill that saved me much needed money.
Glad to help buddy. Saving money is the name of the game in this day and age.

Awesomeness!! Thanks for the awesome feedback bruv! 👊🏼💯

Awesome instructions...it took me less than an hour to fix my garage door with the exact same scenario and that’s with pausing it at every step just to be certain since this was a first. Hopefully it never happens again, but if it does it’ll probably less than a half hour to complete the repair.
Well Done. Thanks helped me greatly!
