Garage Door Extension Spring Replacement

Replace garage door extensions springs. This is an easy garage door repair you can DIY. If your springs are broken or just worn out you can change them yourself. I’ll also show you how to weigh your garage door so you can get the right springs that won’t need adjustment. If you want to know how to run the cables you'll see that also.

I need to change a pair of extension springs on a single garage door, but I have a new set of springs from a double garage door left over. Is it safe to use these springs on the single door?
