My 914 won't start, my neighbor is giving me issues, and my garage door is broken ... all happened in a span of 10 minutes when I came home today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
Anyways, the torsion spring on my garage door broke. The part itself is about $50, and it's $185 to have someone come and fix it. Anyone know if this is something I can fix without hours of hard work? |

I wish I saw this sooner. I just went through the same thing last week. I found a guy who came out to Corona for $159 and replaced both springs (even though only one was shot). If you want his number, I'll get it for you. Either way, whoever you have do it, check and see if they can put two springs on (on our's we were still able to open the door).
Bill PS, I found this on the web http://truetex.com/garage.htm |
