In every profession, there are a few professionals, and
a lot of amateurs.
Torsion springs can kill or injure you. As can a table saw,
pistol, vehicle. The gene pool needs to be chlorinated regularly.
If a person doesn't know and understand what they're doing,
they need to not do it. Same applies to non-injurious things,
like computer repair.
But to try to propose that the only person that's competent to
work with torsion springs is delightfully selfserving to the knuckle-
draggers in the garage door business..

The point is that few people have experience with torsion springs and
may only have a reasons to do so once in their life. While many other jobs
can also be dangerous, people do tend to learn how to do the safely. They
also are more likely to have a family member or friend who knows the right
way to do it. I believe the advice to leave the adjustment of those
springs to the professional is sound advice.

The torsion springs (the springs above the door) should only be adjusted
by
a professional. Do not attempt to repair or adjust the torsion springs
yourself.
