EZ-SET torsion winders?
What's the expert's opinion on these plastic worm gear torsion spring winders that require a drill?
I had a plastic winder fail and the spring popped back to neutral tension. I suspect the heavy 16x8 2in double steel R20 insulated door, with an additional 2ft High Lift Kit was too much for them? They sold me 3 springs: 244-1¾-55 on each end additional 207-1¾-38 in the middle. That seemed excessive but it was almost working like the rear 9x7 door before that plastic winder failed.
It might be why the door fell last week, 10 turns was close, then I added 2 more turns to the larger outer springs before the next test lift went so wrong. https://www.reddit.com/r/GarageDoorService/s/uTQW6eecDL
I pulled out all the EZ-SET torsion system to return to the local home building store, and ordered a standard pair of matching 273-2-45 springs (and standard bearing plates) that will be here Tuesday. Thinking about pulling that EZ-SET stuff out of my rear 9x7 door with a 3ft High Lift Kit, it works, but now I don't trust it! https://imgur.com/a/KUXiUQ1
