[quote=flu][quote=zk]Yeah, if you’re planning on being there a while, having a backup wouldn’t hurt. My spring was only 4 1/2 years old. But it was installed by Pardee, so it’s possible it wasn’t done correctly. If you get a backup, might as well get some purpose-made winding bars while you’re at it. Cheap insurance against an accident caused by an incorrect bar slipping out.[/quote]
Wow. Yours broke in 4 years? I think mine were still original for about 10… I guess they don’t make springs like they use to. Which online store did you order from? The same one as the guy in the youtube video?[/quote]
I used 365garagedoordoorparts on amazon. The parts were cheap, and they work so far. But they promised 5 days max to be at my door, and it took 11.
If I had to guess, I’d say my springs didn’t last because of shoddy installation by Pardee. But I don’t really know.
