Garage door Torsion Springs

Just a tip, you are not going to enjoy changing those. There's a reason no one carries them.

Is it that bad?
I'm handy, just can't justify giving 450 to replace 50 dollar springs

I'm pretty handy too, but I took a look at the set up and decided I didn't wanna f with it. When they have me the invoice, I had reverse sticker shock

Eta: mine has 2 springs and only 1 broke. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

It didn't cost me much to have someone else do it, money well spent after watching them do it.

450 is the lowest I was quoted

We had Overhead Door come replace one of the two we have on a door and it wasn't near 450$, it's been a couple of years so I don't remember.
To the OP, I'm handy too, but you can have that job.

Is there an Overhead Door franchise in Baton Rouge?

Yes

Yes!!!
I have heard horror stories. It is an incredible amount of tension.

Thanks guys, guess Im going to go back to watching football and let this wait for a pro tomorrow.

Im high as a kite, this is probably the best idea

$ 150-$200 max. I recently closed my Garage Door business.I was talked into selling a pair to a man that claimed he put in more than he could count. I assisted the paramedic's getting him untangled and rushed to the hospital.

It's not rocket science, but I hope you know what your doing and have the tools.

And Southeast Door is the last place to call.
Pipe wrenches is a great way to ruin the Torsion bar. If it never breaks again your ok. But the teeth marks will prevent the spring from sliding off for replacement.
