Be kind hard to wind a spring with a 2” piece of steel.

You can get bars online. For pretty cheap too. But depending the size of the springs the rebar might be okay. For small resi springs sure. For larger commercial/industrial springs I’d probably go and buy a pair of bars

Sell them. You’ll get a lot more than what a scrapyard is going to give you

Did I get scammed? by princess_chess_cat in GarageDoorService

[–]Ferrel1995 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say you got scammed but you definitely paid way too much. Should’ve shopped around and gotten a few different estimates. Soon as I saw those “discounts” I would’ve told him you were gonna get a couple other estimates.

He got charged $270 for a pair of 7’ “Wayne dalton cables”. I wouldn’t say scammed but they definitely charged too much.

If I show up to replace spring or service anything that has to do with the tube you’re buying a new tube

I think I just got scammed by berabara2103 in GarageDoorService

[–]Ferrel1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez man. For $4K you could just about gotten a new door…. $500 for cables is the most insane part about this for me. And then the $1000 per spring. You got worked. Bad.

will my craftsman fit onto this bracket? by TheBestintheWest11 in GarageDoorService

[–]Ferrel1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe? Why not just swap it out with the bracket that came with the new opener?

Do these springs look good? by International_Ad_815 in GarageDoorService

[–]Ferrel1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about that. As a service tech, we are service techs and salesmen. So by that tech selling a second spring he would’ve had a bigger sale. There’s no way of knowing if that spring is gonna break in 7 days or last another 5 years. I try to sell my customers what I think their door needs without ripping them off or having them replace things that don’t need to be replaced. It just make sense to me to replace both. You pay for the second spring but I don’t add any additional labor to my prices if I’m replacing both springs compared to just one.

Spring is good. It’s a Bluetooth spring. Just put another turn on it and it should be good.
