Prolife can explain garage door springs better than I. -

Message 17865538

When I moved in the garage door was the old heavy wood sheathed door with the long springs. Door would be going down and those suckers would break and knock a hole in the wall. I tried heating and bending to make a new hook and 6 months later BANG. Bought new ones and ran a cable through them, they broke but didn't knock a hole in the wall.

Then I spent the 2 large and had a new door with torsion springs installed. Aluminum with foam insulation. No springs breaking, quiet, warmer. Downside? I thought about shooting myself for not doing it 10 years earlier.

I am assuming you have the stretch type rather than torsion springs?
