Reply to comment by moron_that_later in [Help] Please advise on how to safely remove an old garage door spring (existing guides are all for new styles of torsion spring) by moron_that_later
One-piece doors have safer springs, but also need more upkeep, and the hardware is becoming more difficult to buy. And screw-drive garage door openers are harder to find outside of the orange/blue boxes - Genie is seen as junk by LiftMaster and Sommer dealers but they’re the only one making screw-drive as Chamberlain(LiftMaster and Craftsman) discontinued screw-drive. A screw-drive opener is the only opener that can reliably open and close a one-piece wood door.
Stick to Amarr, Clopay or CHI for a new door. Avoid Overhead Door brand, since they use proprietary hardware(hinges) or Wayne Dalton due to their spring system.
