No problem.

Just to elaborate, my old doors were shit - wood framed panels with MDF centres. Once the paint failed, they just started soaking up moisture like a sponge. Eventually, they just started falling apart.

Got a new pair of Cloplay's from a sale at HD - a pair of 9x7', 2", insulated, 4 panels each.

I procrastinated installing these until one of the tension springs finally broke and I had to address it. The tracks were in great shape so I just installed the panels/rollers myself. It was my first time and I've never watched anyone do it before so going step by step, reading the instructions as I went, the first door took 2 hours to install. It was actually the easier of the two because the spring was broken, so there was no tension on the cables. The second one took 45 minutes. I took the bottom brackets off when the door was all the way up and had no tension on them. Once all the old panels were out of the way, I unhooked the cables from the lower brackets.

I've heard horror stories about people setting tension springs so I left to the pro from CASP. Jonas is a really easy guy to talk to, quoted me a fair price and had a guy out there the next morning. Johnny was right on time and explained what he was doing to adjust the spring tension. He also replaced the cables on one door and adjusted some tracks and garage door opener for optimal performance.

The door with the new spring now has perfect balance and requires almost no effort from the garage door opener. There was nothing wrong with the spring on the other door but it is too strong for the new, lighter door. Not really a big deal since I rarely open that side but if I want to change it, I'm now confident I can do it myself, safely.
