I want a wall mounted garage opener but my doors have extension springs on them. Not sure if it's worth the trouble to convert to torsion and then buy a more expensive opener just to have a wall mounted opener. My doors do look even though when they close.
They don’t really work independently . The door needs to go up or down squarely, or parallel to the tracks.or it will jam up, during travel. Ask me how I know! But yes, to a degree, when the door settles into it’s closed position, it can compensate for un evenness. Depending on the openers settings. I almost ruined a brand new door this year, adjusting the two sides.
@@PrecisionGarageDoorTriState thanks for answering. The reason I ask is that I stopped by my mothers house the other day and the extension spring broke. She has a torsion spring installed from her old wooden door that works fine. Extension springs were kind of expensive. And I don’t really see a need to have 3 springs since the door is fairly light? Again, thank you for responding so fast….toots…
Saw the title, came here in hopes of learning something I didn’t know, found quite a bit of opinionated bias combined with unnecessary theatrics rather than just the facts. Bummer.
this is good to know thank you sir😄 I already have extension springs on my doors and im sticking with them since i can replace them easily.
Glad we could assist!

Great video. Good delivery. Please lose the music. The music is just distracting.
Noted! Thank you.
With a single steel door do I need extension springs and a torsion spring?
You'll most likely just need extension springs.

@@Gfysimpletons yeah, three springs is unnecessary. We'd say either just use the existing torsion springs, or replace both extensions!
Amazon carries both
