Mine broke and I tried to fix it myself, I am generally pretty handy, and had the tension bar almost take my head off. Found out, Googling it after, that those springs are under a significant amount of tension and you can really hurt yourself.

Paid Overhead Door and was well worth it. It is just one of those jobs that you need to know how to do and have the right equipment.

$165.00 for local company to come replace the spring. I'll go that route.

One more thing though... I can barely crack open the door. Didn't think the door was that heavy or is there something jamming it when the spring tension lets go? (I'm built like David Spade so there's that also )
