We just had a torsion spring break on our garage door at 3 o'clock in the morning. I contemplated replacing the spring my self. Ended up calling a professional and had it done for $125.00

It made one hell of a sound when it broke and made a mess out of the cables!

I've had two torsion springs replaced over the years and always let the professionals handle that job. It sucks that he is maimed from it now. I always try to remember mine and others safety when working in the shop.
