Two kinds of garage door springs
If you know how, it's safe. If you don't know how, it's not safe. Simple! If
you don't know the right way to use and maintain a chef's knife, you can end
your piano playing career. :-)

I agree, i've replaced several and adjusted dozens and have never seen the
danger everyone is so anal about.

i dont like torsion springs if something breaks thet are a real
hazard, regular extension springs with safety cables are my
preference. and if the system has a problem its a DIY project
In what way are they any more of a safety hazard for the occasional
break? They're captured on the axle even more solidly than the extension
type w/ a cable is and in a location less likely to actually have an end
strike an individual than an extension spring if were to break when the
garage is occupied...
The hazards of installing are overblown imo although do need to know
something about what one is doing (but there are many things for which
that is true).
