Herman W.:
One our springs snapped during the holidays. Called a few professionals for a quote and got “unavailable until next week” or it was gonna cost $350-500 depending on who I decided on. But still a day or 2 away.
Saw this on Amazon and watched a few installation video's and decided Im handy and I can do this. Parts came the next day and I did the whole job in less than 2 hours. I could’ve saved a hour but I realized the previous spring replacement job I paid for was done poorly. Plus after installation I had to reverse my steps to unwind the springs a few 1/4 turns each. They were too strong with the recommended turn count. As soon as I took off the vise grip my 7x16 insulated aluminum door flew open.
Turning bars fit both old and new spring. I saw some reviews but I didn’t have that issue. Just be sure to check before you start the job.
It’s an easy job if you’re semi handy.

👍🏽 didn’t break on install
👍🏽 arrived intact and ready
👍🏽 instruction included
👍🏽 quality seems ok
Notes: I used a YouTube video ("How To Replace Garage Door Torsion Springs") from 11 years ago to help guide my installation. I learned several things to help make the installation WAY simpler thanks to that tutorial. The installation took about 2.5 hours since I had to adjust at the end. The adjustments are important as to ensure that the cables are tight when the garage door is lifted. Not twisted enough means the cables will be loose and fall off and get in a tangled mess. I imagine pros can do it faster but I did this job without the added $600+ cost of a third party contractor. It was a moderately difficult job and I would do it again if I had to!
Other notes: I snapped an image of my torsion spring center bracket with a red circle. This might be why some folks break the ends of the spring connectors. I slotted the center bracket with a Dremel tool to prevent it from smashing against the spring bracket. Also, the bushing inside the left spring (left-facing door) has to be on the bracket (see the 3rd attachment...

Brent Carlson: I came home one day to find that my garage door wouldn't open. I went through the side door to find the spring was cracked in half. So being the DIY guy I am I spent the next day researching to see if I could do this job myself. It seemed pretty dangerous but I was confident that if I was careful I'd be able to do it myself. So I carefully installed it myself without any drama. My garage door works great again. As long as you're careful and watch plenty of installation videos you can do this job yourself.

Carlos lizarraga: Like the quality. As an improvement..:the springs should come marked with white line so one can see the 7 full turns that are completed when the 29 quarter turns are complete. I marked it myself after watching various videos online that explained the install guidelines in detail.

Brian Nolan:
Item was accurately described and arrived on time.
Being in a hurricane prone area, my springs are relatively substantial due to the weight of the door and all the bracing; that being the case, the estimates I received ranged between $200 to $300 (per spring, installed). Not wanting to spend $400 to $600, and being halfway handy, I decided to look into doing it myself and a quick search led me to several videos on the subject. From start to finish, it took me about an hour to remove the old ones, install the new ones and tension them, with another 1/2 hour or so spent finetuning the tension. I would think a professional, who does this day-in-day-out, could probably get it completely done in under an hour. Long story short, about 2 hours of my time ended up saving me several hundred dollars and I am so far very happy with the product.
*In my unprofessional opinion* I assume it is best to replace both springs to ensure the tensions are equal and b/c the one spring that didn't break, most likely soon will. I wouldn't call this an overly complicated project, but you do need to be careful because you could seriously injure yourself - there are plenty of...
