What a garage door torsion spring installation has to get right before anything else

The spring has to match the door, not the other way around. Wire diameter, coil length and the number of turns wound into it all depend on how much the door weighs and how long the torsion shaft is, and getting any one of those wrong leaves the door either too heavy for the opener or prone to slamming down under its own weight. That sizing step happens before the winding bars ever come out, and it's the difference between an installation that lasts and one that fails again in a year.
