If you're talking about the type of door that has the large spring on a shaft mounted above the door opening, you'd be smart to have a professional install it. That thing gets wound so tight and is so strong, that if you don't know what your'e doing you could get a broken arm or worse, get knocked off the ladder and hurt something else as well. If it 's the type with the long springs, one on each side of the rails, then those aren't near so tough. There should be instructions with the door kit that explain how to install and adjust them.

Leave it to the pros.The spring gets wound by a steel bar that is placed through the holes located at the area where the spring is attached.It creates a great amount of tension that is used to assist in the weight of the door.If not done properly you can lose a limb or your life.

It can be a real pain in the ***. I would shop for a new door that includes the install and removal of the old door. They are all pretty competative and trust me u will be glad u dont have to do it yourself....

Use a horse to stretch the spring.

its very difficult. its easier to pay a few $$ for a pro to do it for you. installation is fairly cheap, i just had one of my springs replaced recently.
