Our torsion spring for our single car insulated garage door broke just this morning.
I have yet to find out the diameter and length of the spring itself. I have watched [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxUoJrLhaSI"]this[/ame] video and to replace it is easy enough; just get some pipe and have at it, taking all necessary safety precautions of course.
Would it be better suited to have two springs, wound half to 3/4 tension in place of one spring if I cannot find a single spring, or would it be better to have a helper spring installed?
