I should add to,my posting that at that time I was a garage door installer and repair person for Overhead Door company in another city. I mention counting the chalk marks only to see if the spring has slipped. We also told people to once a year wipe some oil across the springs and move the door up and down. I would not do any replacement work because of the danger as a homeowner
