[size 2] [font "Comic Sans MS"] Since this is the "Not Nessesarily Fishing" forum, I thought I would throw this out there. Has anyone replace a roll up garage door before. I'm in need of a new one (16'X8') and the company that's bidding on the job wants to charge me almost what the door costs just to install it. Since the labor cost is so high, does this mean it could be a pain in the rump? How difficult can it be????? [/font] [/size]

the springs can be tricky if they are not wound right the door could be to heavy or not want to stay closed.

Replaced one about 2 years ago. It was a job but not hard to do. The real key is to follow the assembly directions to the letter.

[size 2] [font "Comic Sans MS"] As of right now, the only real hang up for me is the spring. The rest seems pretty straight forward, but getting the tension right on the spring. [/font] [/size]

my suggestion would be like I have done with jobs that are really straight forward but with one area you are not sure of. Like installing a new furnace. it is very easy but the final tune up I am not equiped. for so I hired the oil company just to do the tune up. So you should install the door and hire someone to do the final adjustment and save all the labor monies.

[size 2] [font "Comic Sans MS"] You know chiefpanfish that would make too much sense. However, that is a good idea I think I'll do it that way. Thanks again for all the info and input. [/font] [/size]
