SPRING, GARAGE DOOR HARDWAREDescription: This is a thick coiled black spring 24 to 30 inches long. Buying information: Springs come in three different "weights": 110, 150, and 210. The 110 is designed for a standard garage door, the 150 for a heavy-duty garage door, and the 210 for a 16-foot double garage door. For older people, a good choice is the 150-weight spring, which -makes the door much easier to raise than the 110-weight spring. How-to hint: As mentioned, it's best to remove parts when the door is in the raised position. To hold it in position, two pairs of locking pliers come in handy. Use one pair to keep the cable stationary, the other on the roller. |
