knuthgrush posted:they're under a pretty heavy load. when one of mine broke, it sounded like a shotgun went off. i tried to unload the second one to replace the two and it shot across the room and put a hole through the drywall and took a chunk out of a stud. i'm glad it didn't hit me. i called a pro. Yeah, one of ours came undone and the repairman said we were lucky it didn't slam into the car, because it would have caused some damage. Makes me super paranoid hanging out in there when we open or close it, even though we got a new door and springs; ours screeches horrendously as well, which I'm not sure how to fix.

Like with most friction problems, use more lube.

Anyone skeptical of garage door spring potential energy has never tried to open a garage door with the spring missing.

Silicone lubricant will fix that squeak right up. Don’t use WD-40.

Are you guys talking about the coil springs on a roll up door, or the ground level springs on a flat flip up door (like houses built in the 60s had). I can see the issue with the coil springs but I've replaced numerous ground level springs and never had an issue.

You shouldn’t need much. Run the door up and down a few times afterwards. If it’s still screeching you might need to do some listening but you should be able to pinpoint it eventually. I do mine maybe once or twice a year.

A place I rented like 12 years ago had extension springs and one of them let go when I was in the garage. Punched a hole clear through the wall. That was the day I decided to never gently caress around with garage door springs.

We have the rolled up springs now and I'm not gonna mess with those either.

Yeah, home owners should make sure they pay the few extra cents for the garage door provision, it's carved out of most insurance policies for some reason. It could really screw up your car or your body if something goes wrong.

I was using exaggeration to underscore how damaging a garage door spring could be, I would imagine standard homeowners insurance would cover stuff happening in your garage, assuming it's attached to the house, though I guess I don't know that for sure. Sorry for any confusion!

I'm pretty sure I've seen a scene from one of the Scream wannabe movies that came out around the same time where someone was impaled by a garage door spring. I tried to find it, but couldn't get any hits.

Police uniform. Can you please let our cops put on long sleeves. For some reason, maybe just uniform code. Our police in town must remain in short sleeves until given notice. Well, for the the ones in particular that cross our children in the early morning. Can you please move that date up. Thanks

LOL, reminds me of the shitbirds that moved next to Paine Field (home of the massive Boeing factory) and constantly complained about the noise - only a few flights/day. When PAE was opened to light commercial traffic, they would file false noise complaints based on the scheduled takeoff/landings page. They were found out because many times a flight would leave early or late or be cancelled and still get the noise complaint. When you move next to a port, a gun range, an outdoor concert venue, a fairground, etc, quit whining about it. You knew it was there when you moved in. *Fun fact - larger commercial aircraft can often be much quieter than smaller business jets. Like the difference between a bus and a modified Honda Civic.
