Close your garage door.
Garage door heavy to open manually.
I had a company came and replaced the spring once years ago and the guy must not have wound it to the correct amount.
This becomes necessary when there is a power failure or for some reason you lose your remote.
Here s a way to test if your springs need service.
That s a problem that can worsen gradually over time and is much less obvious than a broken spring.
If the door is heavier it is highly recommended to call a garage door company before additional damage will occur.
I was thinking about taking a couple steel rods and adjust the torsion spring myself.
So my 2 car garage door takes at least 30 50lb to lift manually.
All electronic or automatic garage doors have a bypass that will allow you to open it manually.
Garage torsion springs are vital aspects of the garage opening system as no other part of the mechanism is strong enough to lift the heavy door.
Very easy to open and close manually and will weigh around 5 15 lbs.
