Awesome garage door story though. Busted another door spring. Torsion spring last month. Have to dang near have a contractor install one to even purchase one. Apparently too many lawsuits from homeowners who don't understand stored energy, lol.
So wife finds a guy who'll sell her a spring. (Btw, there's only a couple places in the entire south Sound area that will even sell a homeowner a door spring)
She has to bring the spring and sign a waiver, his spring, his rules. Means another day goes by because I have to take it apart at 9pm when I get home from work so she can have the privlege of buying a new one....
I tell her what dia, length and wind but she has the spring with her, so no issue matching it. Guy sells her the opposite wind of what we brought to him. I come home, fark, wrong wind. Guy argues with me about it. This re-Todd argued twice over the phone with me about how he's been a door guy for 37 years and I'm wrong. Finally couldn't be nice anymore and had to rip his ass and threaten him just to get the right spring.
