    Help Needed in Milton, FL

    Anyone bored this morning that could come over and help us lift the garage door to get our cars out. Got back from the night airshow last night and hit the closer button and BAM the spring broke also broke the cable on one side.

    I was able to get the pressure off the door and release the good spring so there is no spring pressure anymore and the door is too heavy for wife and I to lift.

    Thanks. :)

    Yea I have some friends coming now to help get the door open and we called Precission Door and they will be out to fix the door around Noon to 2 today.

    It was bad last night. I heard the bang after we just got in. I went out and the door was all sideways. Just the one spring broke and that side pully the cable was still attached and wrapped itself around the pipe and then the left side the cable was gone. So I got on top of my truck that is parked on the side with the spring still holding tension and started releasing it slowly so the door would stay closed level.

    Thanks for the info Sawman!!!

    All is good the cars are out of the garage now. Some friends that were headed to go skeet shooting stopped by first and we got the door open and then back closed.

    Another update Precision Doors is on there way now they just called.

    Yours looks the same as mine. I have a used spring that'll work. I don't recommend leaving this used spring on it, but it'll work until you can replace both springs. Free if you want it

    Well Precision Overhead Door did a great job... I spared no expense and got both springs replaced, new rollers and all. Pretty much replaced everything but the door itself.

    Also and been wanting one he did not no way talk me into it got a new opener with the battery backup.

    Everything has a lifetime warranty like Sawman was talking about.

    The garage door has never been this quiet and smooth since we bought this house new.

    Love it.

    I figured . . . kinda expensive but the transferable lifetime warranty would be a good selling point if we ever decided to sell our house.
    Like you stated Ken . . . almost everything new with the deal. ---- SAWMAN
