Frequently Asked Questions - 225-2-24 Vevor

Can I install the garage door spring myself?

It is highly recommended to call a professional. Installation requires mechanical skills, specific tools, and handling parts under high tension. Any mistake may lead to serious injury.

How to determine the winding direction of the spring (right-wound or left-wound)?

Make an "O" with your index finger and thumb. Follow the direction of the wire along your finger; the direction corresponds to the winding. R for right-wound (right), L for left-wound (left).

What is the recommended tension for a 2.1 m high door?

Generally, 30 quarter turns for a 2.1 m (7 ft) door and 36 quarter turns for a 2.4 m (8 ft) door. Follow supplier recommendations.

How to check the balance of the door after installation?

Leave the door halfway. If it rises on its own, the springs are too tight: unwind 1 or 2 quarter turns on each side until balanced.

What maintenance is needed for the spring?

Clean the door with a mild cleaner and a soft brush several times a year. Apply a light oil spray on all springs, hinges, rollers, and pivots at least once a year.

What to do if the spring breaks?

Never handle a broken spring. Call a professional for replacement. Always wear gloves and eye protection.

Are Vevor springs compatible with all garage doors?

These springs are designed for sectional torsion doors. Check dimensions (wire diameter, inner diameter, length) to ensure compatibility.

How to stretch the spring after winding?

Leave a winding bar in a slot perpendicular to the ground, then tap the bar with a hammer to stretch the spring 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) from the center. Repeat on the other side.

Can I reuse the old winding cones?

It is recommended to use the new cones provided with the spring. Old ones may be worn or damaged, compromising safety.

Levorotary/Dextrorotary Distinction:

HELPFUL TRICK: Make an "O" with your index finger and thumb. Using the tip of your finger as the end of the wire, follow the direction down your finger and it will give you the direction the spring is coiled.

Adjust the Spring Tension: It is dangerous to adjust the torsion spring. Please call a professional to adjust.

REMOVING THE OLD SPRINGS

WARNING

It is dangerous to remove the torsion spring. Please call a professional to operate.

1. Unplug the garage door opener and clamp the door to the track. Disconnect the garage door opener so the door remains closed. Use locking pliers or a C-clamp to secure the door to the track to keep it from opening when you release the tension on the springs.

1. Loosen the set screws while holding each spring with a winding bar. Position a sturdy ladder to the side of the springs, rather than work directly in front of them, for safety reasons. Put on eye protection and leather gloves. Push a winding bar into the bottom hole of the winding cone on the outside of one spring. Use a wrench to loosen the 2 set screws. Keep a firm grip on the bar as the spring will expand powerfully as the screws are released. Repeat on the other side. To ensure the bars fit securely into the winding cone holes, file down the ends.

Note:

A: Using a screwdriver, pin punch, or plier handles to unwind the bar could result in serious injury, as these tools aren't designed to hold the spring in place.

B: Avoid standing on a bucket or chair to reach the springs. Use a ladder to minimize the risk of injury.

1. Unwind each spring with the help of 2 winding bars.

Position the second winding bar into a hole on the winding cone at a perpendicular angle to the first. Unwind the spring 1/4 turn at a time, moving the winding bar to the next open perpendicular position after each 1/4 turn. Repeat on the other spring.

1. Remove the nuts and bolts, then slide the springs to the end brackets. Using a wrench, remove the 2 nuts and bolts that secure each spring to the center bracket. Then slide each spring toward the end bracket.

1. Secure the tube and remove the springs, cables, and cable drums. Use locking pliers or a C-clamp to secure the torsion tube to the center bracket to keep it from moving. Then, use a wrench to loosen the set screws on both lift cable drums. Disconnect the lift cables, then slide the cable drums and springs off the torsion tube.

Note: Securing the tube is an essential step that will prevent the tube from moving around and potentially injuring you, so be sure to fully lock it in place.

WARNING

It is dangerous to install the torsion spring. Please call a professional.

1. Slide the left spring onto the tube and add the cable drum.

When your new springs arrive, put the new left spring on the torsion tube, and ensure that the stationary cone on the end of the spring faces the center bracket. After sliding the new spring into place, replace the cable drum and insert the torsion bar into the left bearing bracket.

1. Install the center bearing and the right spring, then secure the cones. Slide the torsion bar to the left, then add the center bearing. Slide the right spring onto the bar and press the bearing into the stationary cone. Connect both stationary cones to the center bracket with the nuts and bolts you removed previously. Remove the locking pliers or clamp from the center bracket.

Thread the cables and tighten the drums.

Run the lift cable between the roller and the doorjamb. Slip the lift cable stop through the cable slot on the drum. Then attach locking pliers to the torsion to secure it in place. Spin the drum to wind the cable into the grooves, then tighten the set screws. Repeat on the other side, leaving the locking pliers in place. Note: For the door to operate properly, you need the same amount of tension on both sides, so take care to tighten each side evenly.

4. Wind the springs.

Insert 2 winding bars into the winding cone so they are perpendicular to each other. Use the bars to turn the spring 1/4 turn at a time, moving the bars to holes in the cone as necessary. Follow the supplier's recommendation for the number of turns to complete. Repeat on the other spring.

Note:

A: Generally, you'll need 30 quarter-turns for a 7 ft (2.1 m) tall door and 40 quarter-turns for an 8 ft (2.4 m) tall door. B: Winding the spring too tight could cause it to break and injure you, so it is important to follow the supplier's recommendation and don't over-wind the spring.

1. Stretch the springs out 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).

When the spring is fully wound, leave 1 winding bar in a slot of the cone perpendicular to the floor. Tap the winding bar with a hammer to stretch the spring 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) out from the center. Repeat on the other side.

1. Tighten the set screws.

Tighten each set screw until it contacts the torsion tube. Tightening the screw more than this could distort or puncture the torsion tube, so be sure to make 1 full rotation once the screws touch the torsion tube.

1. Remove the clamps or pliers.

It is now safe to remove the clamps or pliers you used to hold the bottom torsion bar and the garage door itself in place.

Note: When you need to add or unwind 1 or 2 quarter turns, you must hold on with clamps or pliers again.

1. Check the balance after installation.

Leave the door at half way position:

If the door moves up on its own, it means the torsion springs are wound too tight. In this case, unwind both torsion springs 1 or 2 quarter turns until the door balances itself.

MAINTENANCE

1. Use a neutral cleaner and a soft brush to clean the garage door several times a year.
2. Use a lightweight oil spray on all springs, hinges, rollers, and pivot points at least once a year to allow your garage door to slide smoothly up and down.
3. Once a year, you should thoroughly inspect the electric garage door and tighten all screws, nuts, or bolts that may be loose.
4. Using a cloth and a concentrated but non-corrosive cleaner, wipe off the garage door track and carefully clean all exposed parts of the door to remove all excess moisture.
