Default Capturing the end of a garage door spring when hook breaks off

It will work for now.

It is time to go get a replacement though...the other end will be
suffering metal fatigue also..and it is just a matter of time before
it fails too.

I would also recommend replacing the other spring for the same reason.

Yes I know it is still working BUT metal fatigue is real and the
springs are nearing their useful life.


Yeah, I'm with you - the new ones have been ordered.

Thanks,
Bob
