My dad is doing some reorganizing of his DDM Garage Doors web site. He recently put up a comprehensive overview of garage door springs that covers both torsion springs and extension springs. He's got over 6000 springs for sale to do-it-yourselfers who feel confident in how to replace their own springs after reading my dad's spring replacement tutorial. I'm working on finishing up a shopping cart application to facilitate easier ordering and purchasing of the right spring for your needs. It's tough to balance that with my "real" job, wedding preparation, friends, and other activities.

Erich,

I am on it with you. I have been doing some article writing with DDM, using various economic and personal topics.

Check out http://doorsprings.blogspot.com and let's talk.

Loved your sermon illustrations too!

I just had a new garage door installed. Are there covers to cover the black springs (torsion springs?) at the top of the door to prevent the springs from flying off incase they break?

Alan -

I forwarded your question to my dad, at DDM Garage Doors.
