Use the right parts for your door: The garage door springs in Stamford may all look the same to you, and you may think that if the spring look the same it may work for me.

The same goes for any other garage door part. Make sure that you locate a garage supplier in Stamford CT who can provide you with the right springs.

Use the right tools: There are certain tools which were created for garage door repair tasks, such as torsion sticks for torsion springs. If you do not have torsion sticks, and you will try and replace or put tension on a torsion spring with the wrong tool, you will put yourself in risk of getting injured. Look for a place in Stamford that can sell or you can rent the tools which are needed for the job.

Know the overhead door mechanism: The door that you saw on You Tube may be different from your door in many ways. If you are not sure what you are doing stop the repair. We are used to a garage door that work all the time, but what we do not know is how much force may be on the garage door and its parts.
