\"Garage<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The steel-coiled snake that is your garage door spring has had an easy summer, more than likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as September begins<\/a>, many homeowners may be using their garage doors more. Back to school means back to extra-curricular activities, meetings, sports, and more work hours. As the temperatures drop towards winter, your older garage door spring may give way and break<\/a> due to brittle conditions from the cold, coupled with the increased use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are mechanically-inclined and basically skilled, you may want to look into doing it yourself. DDM has a wealth of information in our How To Replace Garage Door Torsion Springs<\/a><\/em> page, and we have Clopay EZ-SET and Wayne Dalton Torquemaster instructions<\/a> as well. Additionally, we now have a “One Spring To Two” conversion page to address system conversion concerns and of course, cover the instructions for doing the job. Please read and heed all safety precautions highlighted at these pages before replacing a broken garage door spring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, I plan on a blog series that highlights “surprising facts” about garage doors. DDM wishes you a safe and productive fall season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
