That is CORRECT. I could not open my garage door with only 1 good spring.
I have a 1 1/2 car garage door. Next time I have any issues with my garage door I will cal Scott or Ryan. Thanks for the recomendation. Florida Garage Door Pro's charged me too much $530.00 for replacing 2 springs and a center plastic bearing. You live and learn. Some contractors think, if you live in the Villages your Rich and charge you more.
