I've got a Gadco Therm-o-Air garage door in need of a new set of
springs. It's a single car 8x7 door.
Does anyone know the weight of the door and what capacity springs
should be used?


They can't be adjusted?

Did the person who said thyey can't be adjusted know what set of
springs would replace them?


How do you adjust a coil spring that is stretched or broken?

My point exactly. The springs are stretched - cannot be adjusted. I
need to REPLACE.

I need to know what capacity spring to purchase.

I weighed the door. Removed the springs and lowered onto a scale. It
registered 80 pounds and I'm skeptical. Could a door be that light?
