As a disclaimer, installing garage door springs can be dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals with experience and proper equipment. It’s important to follow safety procedures and manufacturer instructions carefully to avoid injury or damage to the garage door.

As stated in Garage Door Repair Murphy TX, I can provide step-by-step instructions on how to install garage door springs safely and efficiently.

To install a garage door spring, I first release the tension on the old spring by unwinding it from the torsion bar using winding bars. I remove the old spring and install the new spring in its place.

Next, I insert the torsion bar into the center bracket of the garage door and secure it with the center bearing plate and bolts. I slide the left bracket onto the torsion bar, making sure it is flush with the wall and level. Then, I slide the right bracket onto the torsion bar, making sure it is level and flush with the wall.

I then wind the new spring using the winding bars, making sure to wind it in the correct direction specified by the manufacturer. I keep track of the number of turns I make, and wind the spring to the correct tension for the weight of the garage door.

After winding the spring, I attach the cables to the bottom brackets and the cable drum, making sure they are properly tensioned. I install the cable drum onto the torsion bar and tighten the set screws.

Next, I install the lift cables onto the cable drums and attach the other end to the bottom brackets on the garage door. I make sure the cables are properly aligned and tensioned.

Before finishing up, I test the garage door to make sure it operates correctly. I open and close it several times, making sure it moves smoothly and the cables and springs are properly tensioned. I adjust the tension if necessary.

In summary, based from Garage Door Repair Murphy TX, It’s important to note that installing garage door springs can be dangerous, and should only be attempted by individuals with experience and proper equipment. If in doubt, it’s always best to hire a professional garage door technician to install the springs for you.
