There are instances where you may have your sectional garage doors worn out or damaged. This means that there would be the need to install a new one with the help of a second person in order to make the process very simple. The removal of the old one usually takes some daunting processes that have to be done with a lot of care and tact. In this process you would need a screwdriver, safety glasses, adjustable locking pliers or C-clamps and two 1-foot long pieces of 2-by-4 lumber.

When starting the position of the door should be put in the upward direction in order to ensure that some tension is relieved in the spring. Thereafter you must ensure that the C-clamps are as much as possible clamped onto the torsion spring shaft. This should also be put right under the first rage of rollers. It is done in such a way that when the spring is taken out the door would be prevented from sliding down. Indeed removing your sectional garage doors has never been that easy.

It is important to note that in removing your sectional garage doors, there are some extension springs which are normally connected to the pulley and a rear track hanger assembly. These are also connected with a stud at the bottom door section on the bottom bracket.

When you are able to locate the positions of these, you can then take out from the door sides, the lift cables. After doing this, then the pulley and the spring assemblies can be easily taken apart. When you lay hands on the 2-by-4 wood which is two pieces, it should be placed on the ground just across the opening.

All of this should be as much as possible placed on each side of the opening of the door in order to make your removal process very simple. Aside this it would also prevent you from crushing your fingers against the door if it drops to the ground very fast. Since the sectional garage is a bit heavy, you can then lower it slowly with the help of someone. After all this, the hinges that are between the door sections must be taken out with the help of a screwdriver. You can do this when you begin from the top panel. As such all the panels can be disconnected so that they would be totally removed.
