Hello DIY-ers,


I have brocken torsion spring (one of two) on my 2 car garage door, 16"x7",
wood with glass panells.
I have had bought replacement pair of torsion springs. They sent me 2"
longer what I ordered. Is this going to be the problem??
Actually I have question about how many times should I wind torsion springs
to be like before??? I didn't count how many times those springs was winded
before.
Does anyone know how many times should I wind those springs?? Is this going
to make me big trouble because they are 2" longer that those old ones???
If I put in next few months more weight onto garage door (if I put
insulation, do I need to wind again those torsion springs and how many
times)???


Please send me an email to or post to this board.

Thanks in advance.

Very sincerely,

Dino K
