You want to gap the spring so the coils don't rub on each other. At the end of winding the spring, take the rod in your free hand and smack the rod still stuck in the spring to lengthen the spring a bit. Then tighten the spring to the axle. Having a slight downward angle on the door track helps pull the door into the garage. Now that you have done many doors, portions of the instructions that didn't make sense at first will now, it did for me. I watched this video not to criticize but maybe to learn something and I enjoy your videos. LoL 👍

When in my twenties as a senior foreman I operated an excavator, along with other heavy equipment, and ran several crews installing water, sanitary sewer and storm pipe. I finally got to go back to college at night in pursuit of an engineering degree, after which I surveyed, designed, permitted and did oversight of projects. Retired now and enjoy watching your construction.

Ken, this was the first video I saw of yours. I needed to figure out if people install the top tracks and make them level. So far, everyone I talked to mentioned that it didn't matter if the top tracks were level and that having them at an incline (leaning down towards the end facing the building's interior) wouldn't hurt anything. Well, it was hurting my logic thoughts about it... hahah... and I saw you make it level/equal in height from front to back. Although my needs in learning this were more for an electric garage door job gone bad fix.... I appreciate what I've learned by watching your video. Thank you and I wish you the best!!!! I like your style... and keep up the great work!!!!

My father once said to me, "Be careful turning those torsion springs, you could hurt yourself." . . . I replied, "Many fellows are killed every year turning those springs." He was an Industrial Mechanic for many years. . . . and then he taught the course becoming a Department Head. I enjoy watching Ken at work. It is a learning experience to watch a professional. Thanks Ken. It is good to see you back enjoying your work. I was thinking that the crew working out front might forget you one night. You might have to pack a sleeping bag and sleep in your truck. 😊

As a former door hanger we always stacked door with top first on the saw horses with bottom section on top of two stacks on saw horses with bottom of door at your waste. Put hardware on back 2 sections that would be last to go in opening. Add hinges to section turn with section and stack them up screw sections together as we stack in opening. Bottom section we would level if needed to start stack then door cables would be set for hubs or springs. I would put mark over door where spring plate goes ( do not remember that measurement been 30 years ago ) leave ladder in place then put bar with springs, plates and hubs all together on horses looking at door walk up ladder with impact gun on top of ladder. You can take a white marker and make a line across the spring and as you wind up spring you will have a count that will come up from the line you made on spring. Top hinge was up side down. Hope this will help others people. You did a great job thank you for your time.

Stock insruction pamphlet says to stack doors in opening and hold them in place with nails bent over(Huh?) and then install verticall tracks. You install the tracks first and that seems the safest way to do it so why do they suggest otherwise? Just curious. You remind me of an older builder I worked with years ago. Great guy, soft spoken, very organized, and a depth of experience that only comes from a liftime in the trades. Very helpful video, I'm hanging two doors just like these and I've done a few but needed a refresher course.Thanks!

John, I have a unique situation, I know everyone’s is unique. But really this one is. The front of my garage sticks out 2 feet from the house. On top of that inside the garage there is a support from the house that goes through the garage that will not allow the door lifting chain rail puller to go all the way to the front above the door. Any ideas. Would like to try and do this myself. I believe would need a bar about 2 feet long from the door to the motor drive chain rail. Any ideas?

@sp2907

Old Side springs? Maybe oiling or lubing them up with silicone spray would be helpful. Also, I hope there’s a safety wire running through each of those springs because when it breaks, it could kill you or even “shoot your eye out.” If it’s just two springs on the pipe, then just spray silicone on them. It’s safer to have two springs per door rather than one.
