What goes into a garage door spring installation before the door ever moves

The spring has to match the door's weight, width and mounting style, or the door comes out of balance the first week it's in service — too light a spring and the opener strains to lift it, too heavy and the door slams down instead of settling. That match gets worked out against the actual door, cables and drums in front of the installer, not picked off a rack by size alone. A proper garage door spring installation also means setting the drums, checking the cable wind, and testing the door by hand before the opener ever gets reconnected.
