Extension Spring Removal

Step 1: Raise the door to the fully open position and place vice clamps to the back legs of both vertical tracks, below the bottom rollers to prevent the door from falling. By opening the door you release most of the spring tension. Carefully unfasten the S-hook from the horizontal angle. Remove cable, sheave and extension spring. Repeat for the other side. If safety cables are running through the extension springs, remove them also. Remove parts from work area.

Step 2: Holding door in the open position, remove the vice clamps, be prepared

to support the entire weight of the door. Garage doors can weigh 200-400 pounds.

With assistance, carefully lower the door, by grasping the door firmly by it’s lift handles. Do not place fingers or hands near joints, between sections, or between bottom of door and floor. Otherwise, severe injury could result.

NOTE: Continue with “P4” after completing this step.

Remove lag screw

from safety cable (if installed). Repeat for opposite side.
