There is NO SHORTAGE of how to replace your garage spring videos on RU-vid. I've watched about 6 of them...Yours is the best mix of details and tips while not wasting time rambling! Great job!
“This is your new best friend… this is a file”. 😂 That’s awesome. Great video. No sales pitch, no fluff, just good old fashioned good advice. Thanks for treating us like adults.
Torsion springs and bars from Express Garage Door Parts arrived today. After watching this video 3 times and replacing my torsion bars by myself I'm still alive, my garage door works and I'm drinking a celebratory beer.
Great video! Helped me save $300 by replacing my broken spring myself! I was able to successfully replace both springs by using the right tools, watching this video a few times and being very careful. I am a woman that’s 5,3’ and 140 pounds for reference. Thanks so much for an awesome and very detailed video!!
Of all the torsion spring install videos I’ve watched this morning, this one is the best. Very clearly informative and no steps were fast forwarded. His safety tips are concise and nothing appears to be overlooked. Great job dude. And thanks a bundle
I’ve installed maybe 100 garage doors in the time that I was a garage door technician. However, after not doing it for years, I had to watch this video to remember how to do certain things to replace my grandparent’s spring. Thank you for uploading this video. It has brought my memory back.
I just replaced my springs, and even made an adjustment to lighten the pull, and here I am, living to type the tale. Thank you for the easy to follow video. Made the job easy peasy. The hardest part of the whole thing was finding my file in my very messy shed. ;)
I've watched your video twice. You have done an excellent job in showing how to change springs. I feel very confident to do the job on our broken spring. THANK YOU! Doug
so many people talk about how afraid they are to do these. if a person takes their time, is methodical and careful, and follows your directions, it's very straightforward. best how-to video, in terms of clarity, conciseness, etc that I think I've ever seen
I just fixed the tension springs in my garage door because of this video. I'm only a month away from being 30 years old and this is the first time I've ever had to fix one of these things. This video made it possible for me to do so. Thank you.
Received my springs this past Monday with the bars I purchased to install it, my garage door works again, I previously found this video while searching if I could repair the problem and went straight to their website to purchase the springs I needed.
Best "How to" video I've watched. Covered all aspects of the job and stressed the safety element. Ordered my springs from them on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. and received them on Thursday at noon. Couldn't have been more satisfied.
One of the best instructional videos I have seen. After viewing it a couple of times I was able to install new torsion springs and repair my garage door. Taking my time in the interest of safety the repair time from start to finish was 90 minutes. Complete, simple, and well presented video. My thanks and hats off to Express!
So glad I watched this video. On my rental's garage, the bracket between the two springs that attaches to the wall decided to rip itself free. I spent $20 on some winding rods and longer lag bolts and repaired it myself. After worrying half the day about making the repair, it turned out to be super easy.
Thank you so much for the videos. I was able to order the correct springs and repair my garage door safely for much cheaper than having a company come out and do it. I was super impressed by the quick shipping I had a tracking number 15min after ordering! The springs arrived the next day. RU-vid is amazing for the homeowner to accomplish so much DIY!
Cannot say thank you enough. Had a spring snap on Monday and after watching this video had the confidence to replace on my own. Sent a few pictures of my door and the tag with model number to the email provided on their website and within 3mins I had a reply with the size I needed. Took me 1 hour to remove the old and replace 2 new springs while following along with this video. Not to mention the new springs arrived only 26 hours after I ordered. Incredible. Thank you!
Great video, thorough yet brief without anything unnecessary. Having never done garage door work before, I was a bit intimidated when I noticed one of my torsion springs broke. This video gave me the confidence to fix it myself and it couldn't have gone better, thanks for putting this together!
It's very obvious that this guy has installed a ton of these things. Great info, safety tips and no wasted time blabbering about unrelated garbage. Thank you!
I can confirm these guys are great!! I ordered the parts through them, and followed the video.Had no issues at all! Garage door works great now, thanks guys!
One of the best videos on how to install the torsion springs. Very well done and safety included as well. I followed the instructions provided and was very easy to change out. Thank you for a job well done.
YOU ARE THE MAN! just ordered my bars and torsion spring set... your video made me CONFIDENT I can repair my set up BY MY SELF! kudos to u brotha! u deserve a RAISE!
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!!!
Just want to personally say thank you. A few years ago a guy did it for me and I didn’t think to learn, but you went step by step and worked awesome. I appreciate you emphasizing the springs can be “hot”, I have a Genie 7055 and it would go up but not down again. Had to loosen off 3 quarter turns each side to balance it. You are the man, thank you again.
Exactly what I needed! I watched the video once through, then once again, pausing intermittently as I did the job. Got it done with no incidents. Thanks!
One of the very best explanations of ANYTHING - EVER!!! ... no wasted time, no wasted intro, no stupid music ... just the facts and very nicely presented. Kudos ... I will buy my needed springs here due primarily to this video!
Video and Company are Amazing. I was able to determine the exact parts I needed, ordered it, and fix my garage door by following the instructions that were provided. I estimate that I saved around $500 doing it myself.
We just did a Torsion Spring video and made sure to give you a plug. You don't realize it, but Helen & I bought our springs from you and your service was EXCELLENT.
Got my torsion springs from y’all yesterday and Installed them today, if it wasn’t for you I woulda have been stumped, also didn’t help the home owner before installed them backwards to begin with 😂. Thanks again all the way from South Carolina!
I just finished installing my springs after watching this video once and having my laptop in the garage with me so I could replay each step just as I was going to perform them. Great video that saved me $200 in a service call to a garage door company. It couldn't have been any better!!!
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.
Wanted to thank you for the video. Yours was so good l didn’t watch any of the others. I went to your website telling me how to measure spring wire diameter, length and coil ID ordered both springs and draw bars. Had them replaced in no time! Thank you guys, you are appreciated!
Thank you guys so much. The spring was perfect, and the video was step-by-step what I did to replace it. My garage is more smooth and quiet that it was to begin with.
Thank you EGDP for your Safe, Amazing and Straight Forward video tutorial. I was able to replaced both my torsion springs easily and saved me tons of $$$. Anyone out there who is thinking of doing yours, don't hesitate. As long as you're a handy person, watch and follow this video over and over again particularly the safety thoughts then, you will be amazed you've done it.
After seeing how great this guy's videos are - from sizing to installing - I bought a torsion spring kit from his company. Arrived today, installed it in an hour. Saved me money, time (appointment), and I learned some useful knowledge. Thanks!
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. 🦘🇦🇺
20 out of 10 I recommend! Parts were delivered next day and when we were installing the springs we noticed my current springs were opposite we called and he called us back and talked us through it and let us know why it was set up that way and that we should install the new springs that way so we would have to wind the opposite way. Great customer service! Glad my friend recommended you guys and I will now continue to recommend you to others.
Just replaced my springs that I was able to measure and order from Express Garage Door Parts. I am a handy guy, but the videos are essential to making sure you don't hurt yourself when applying or removing tension from the springs. Thanks for providing, great tutorial!
This helped me every step of the way. Did not want to pay someone and take off work. Took it apart, ordered parts, installed after work. All done and working.
Excellent video! Luckily first and only video I watched! I've never worked on a garage door or spring before. Easy to do watching video prior and during install! Thank you!
My new spring arrived today and I had watched this video a few times to prepare myself. These instructions were spot on, new spring is installed, working great and I still have all my fingers! Thank you!
Thanks for the great instructions. My garage door has been out of commission for two weeks. I ordered the springs and bars; they came in two days and 45 minutes later my door is back in service...thanks again!!!
Excellent tutorial! I'm mechanically inclined and have my own welding shop, but this removed any apprehension about doing this procedure. Thank you! As a matter of fact, I ordered the springs, then searched for a video and realized I ordered them from your company!! I'm in great hands 👍
Thank you so much. Very straight and to the point. Everyone told me to get a pro. I watched your video and replaced both of my springs in about 1 1/2 hours. It's working great. Thanks again!!
I'm so grateful to you for taking your time and knowledge and investing it in this video for all of us. When this happened last week, I called the company that installed our garage who told us it would cost between $300-$500 to repair. It had to get done so I booked the appointment however, during booking my wife came here, and while viewing the video my son sprung into action and quickly followed your instructions removing the part. We were then able to find a replacement on the net [$130 for all the pieces we needed] and this morning it took him about 15 mins to put in. All together it took about 30 mins to install and was a whole lot cheaper than what they would have charged us. Thanks for being such a great Samaritan.
Great video, I have never changed a garage torsion spring but watching your video gave me the step by step know how. I successfully accomplished the task of changing both springs in about an hour and a half going really slow. I probably could of done it in an hour but I chose to watch the step by step video in between each step ensuring that I made no mistakes. The tip with using the file was spot on because I ran in to the issue with the large pole that holds the springs sliding back and forth. Thanks to having the metal file handy, I was able to shave it down and have it move freely. Again, great video and thank you for taking the time to help out the diy community.
Just replaced my springs on my door after watching this video. Saved me so much time and was perfect. Thank you for this video for saving me time and money.
If you’ve been watching videos on how to deal with torsion springs, this is is, stop watching. This guy is all you need. Even before this video, watch his measurements video on torsion springs, best one I’ve found. He makes it so easy but you have to have all your senses, don’t get distracted and you’ll be fine.
I just replaced my kid brothers broken garage door torsion spring at his home. It was easy. I just watched the video a few times, Made some notes. No problem. But you do need to be careful working with those springs. All you need is some basic tool's. I did very good doing it the first time. Everything works great no problems. This video was very very helpful . Thank you. It save my brother a lot of money. Know he owes me a dinner. Thanks again.
Great video. Had to hurry up and get the door working again as we have a handicapped person who can only get out thru the garage in a wheelchair. Appreciate it!
Bought parts from your site and followed this guide all the way - THANK YOU for the clearest instructions for any DIY task I've seen on RU-vid. Had a broken spring that needed replaced - winding the spring had me sweating, but it all worked out perfectly and saved me tons of time and money.
Over three years later and this was very helpful in fixing a setup where everything had lost tension. I pulled out my torsion bars and your video took me from totally forgetting to getting it right on the first try. Thanks for keeping the full replacement directions on point and still give good tips, especially on the warning with dangerous locations in the work zone. I fixed my garage on the first try; I had no idea that turns 25-31 would give me such a workout. You were absolutely right about the spring expanding to be longer as it gets tightened up.
Great video. Changed mine out with no issues thanks to your video. Local places wanted 275-$300 for a single spring on a residential door. I did it for $40. About an hours time.
You Sir, are a legend! Excellent video that just saved me over $500 AUD. I had this booked in for repair at $700, but after watching your video I cancelled and installed myself. Thank You!
Great Video, smooth and easy replacement also I just sent a photo of the inside of my garage door to tech support and was instructed as to what type of springs I needed. Very please with this company.
Great video, and great service. I ordered a new spring yesterday and put it on this afternoon. Excellent instructions and excellent shipping. I still can't believe how simple this was.
My husband and I just fixed our 8ft garage door spring and did 35 quarter turns but the door wouldn’t close. We loosened it to 31 turns and it worked. We just saved a lot of money. Thank you so much!!!
This is a great video instruction. We followed another video and tried multiple times but couldn't get it right. We followed this video and it worked the first time! Thank you!
Great video! I knew nothing about these springs before, I was used to the old kind running down each track. When mine broke, I watched this video, ordered the springs, and just finished installing them. Thanks!
