This door used an older spring system with the springs enclosed inside the shaft tube and a ratchet winder at the end. We converted it to a standard torsion setup with one premium black-coated, oil-tempered spring, new cable drums, cables and brackets, and lubricated the door.

Before and after: a plain steel tube across the top of a garage door with the springs hidden inside, then a new black torsion spring on the shaft. Torsion spring conversion in Sacramento
