br>For a secure grip, the handles are knurled. A thin coat of red paint appeared to have been applied to the ends. br>I improved the design by inserting the tool into the spring and marking the bar with a pen, then removing it and placing colored tape next to the mark, which serves as an easily identifiable reference to ensure that the bars are seated to the fullest depth for safety. I'm confident that any buyer who buys these will find that they perform admirably for the price.

On a 16'x8' door that may weigh 150 lbs, I was able to torque the two springs. Three-quarters of a gallon of milk was required. To achieve the perfect balance, turn each end. It's worth noting that one full turn equals four quarter turns. turns. It has a solid and safe feeling to it. If you do it, keep one bar inserted in the cone at all times and stay out of the rotating plane of the bars. To avoid surprises, either wind it by hand or without hands while pressing the bar against the top of the garage door. br>br>Because the 3/8" head set screws were binding on the long shaft, I had to loosen them almost completely to prevent the entire assembly from rotating. If your cones appear to be dirty or damaged, don't touch the set screws and leave the job to the professionals. They have the ability to break.

balance. These winding bars had been ordered to be re-installed. After 14 years of service and a lot of noise, it was becoming dangerous to operate my garage door. There was a significant difference when the metal rods were replaced with nylon rods. The spring needed to be re-tensioned after all of the other checks were completed. re-tensioned a little more To save the motor time and prevent damage, balance the door. Because of some negative reviews, I didn't expect much from these bars. In any case, these bars functioned flawlessly and were a perfect fit in the spring holes. The door was re-hung after two quarter-turns of the spring The system is now more balanced, and it runs more smoothly and quietly. This is an excellent purchase for garage door maintenance that you can do yourself.

Over time, the right side of my garage door stopped closing all the way to the floor, and the bottom became uneven, allowing the critters to make a new home. br>br>Called a few garage door companies and was quoted $195 for a service call (which included a basic tune-up). up), as well as any additional parts or labor requirements. I found these bars and watched a video on how to adjust the door, and my door was level and working perfectly in 15 minutes! br>br>I ordered garage door lube from Amazon and sprayed it on the springs, hinges, and wheels. I now have a quiet garage door that looks like it was just installed.

These are heavy-duty rods with knurling on one end for a secure grip. The red paint on the ends had mostly worn off during shipping and would continue to do so in use, so it's pointless. Place the rod in the hole and wrap tape around it to show how far it can go.

repair. Without these bars, I wouldn't try to repair a garage spring. MUST USE! Because I like the red tips, I had a visual cue that the bar was fully seated before adjusting the spring under such high tension. It took me 31 quarter turns to turn my spring. The first 20 were simple, but the last 11 were difficult and frightening for me because it was my first time. Youtube repair videos, a new spring, and WINDING BARS will equip anyone to DIY garage repair! Purchasing these was a no-brainer due to the money saved on a maintenance call.

These bars allowed me to safely replace my two torsion springs; I now keep them on the garage door header, next to the springs, in case I need them again. If you're having your torsion springs repaired or replaced, don't hesitate to purchase this item.
