Any large garage door experts?
I have a 18’x12’ steel non insulated garage door on my pole barn.
Problem 1 anyone have an estimated weight? I sent an email to the manufacturer, but haven’t heard back. I don’t have a scale big enough to weigh it.
Problem 2 and what kicked this all off, I looked up and saw one of the springs relaxed. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it has been this way since the barn was built 2 years ago. The installer had 600 pounds worth of springs installed, so they just left one unwound.
Thinking about just re springing correctly, vs just rewinding the one spring. Installed springs are .312x45x3.5” ID.
Here is what I’m thinking.
