Garage Door Spring Mk4/F Type Spares and Parts STRENGTH FOUR

Good product. Easy to fit. Instructions not great to understand. Do it like this: Wear gloves. Very greasy! Open door to about 150mm from top. Remove Spring cover. It just needs to be prised off with a screwdriver. The old spring is probably broken. Remove old spring by removing pin. It's on top of the steel door frame. Pull down Spring and remove runner clip from the runner bracket. The spring is not fixed at the bottom. It should just lift out. To fit replacement, leave door nearly fully open. It will need to be propped or have a helper. Push eye of new Spring up through top hole of door frame. Push new clip through on top. It goes sideways. The eye is retained by the indent of the clip. The hooked end is misleading. The door may need moving slightly. Pull the plastic runner clip on the new Spring down and back into the runner. Let it then move back up and clip into the runner of the door. Push the rest of the Spring unit back into the runner. Again, it's not fixed at the bottom. Put the cover strip back on. I lined it up and tapped it back with a hammer. Job done. Took me less than an hour to do both. Just be careful! Eye protection is worth using just in case.

Absolutely brilliant service from this seller, the springs were delivered the very next day, new anchor pins were also included with the springs, which was an added bonus! The springs can be a bit difficult to fit, if you have not done it before. I made feeding the thinner top spring easier, buy bending a welding electrode into a hook, I then fed this through the spring eye and pushed that through the hole at the top of the channel. Once the welding electrode is through, you can unhook it, whilst holding the spring with your other hand, then insert the anchor pin. The springs are well greased, so disposable gloves are a must, as well as safety glasses!

Followed installation instructions and I found the springs were quite easy to fit.

Works well

I would recommend this product and this supplier, but be careful cause once fitted, if you're not on your toes, you will be lying on the drive looking for your teeth

Fits perfectly

just what was needed to mend an older garage door that still had a lot of life left in it,customer very happy!!!!
