I know what you're saying but the new doors that have springs on them you don't dare to let the tension slip while you're winding it & it could But the springs are only about $20. (unless you have 2 springs, it would be about $40.) I guess I'm to much of do it yourself person, anything you have done here in TV I think the so called pro's take advantage of us retirees & charge way to much. But yes you're probably right, if you're a little worried about getting hurt, it"s better than going to the hospital. Just my opinion. Thanks for your reply!
