Balancing a one-piece wooden garage door
Hi,
Does anyone have tips on balancing a one piece (non-sectional, non-rollup) wooden garage door (2-car garage). I'm replacing all four springs, and putting in a new Genie screw drive opener (last one lasted 26 yrs!) I've always been under the impression that if the door holds stationary when the bottom of the door is about a foot or two off the ground that the door is balanced...is this true? Should the spring tension be increased if the door does not hold stationary...or decreased? I'll post a summary if I get enough response. TIA -- SteveO |
