Make one or
two test runs, by doing a few turns without getting to any significant
tension, to get a good feel of how to manipulate the rods, tightening
the set screws and the cable, etc., Finally wind the spring as tight
as you can. Then tighten the set screws, run the cable, etc. and test
the door. Any unevenness in the spring tension will be obvious.
Increase or decrease the spring tension as necessary.
