Sorry for the length of this post -I have been having a problem with my garage door not wanting to go down and then when it does go down all the way, it starts back up. I had to stop it and make it go back down again a couple of times before it would stay closed. I called a garage door company I had previously used to come make adjustments (I thought it was an adjustment on the opener) and he told me it needed new springs. At first he said I needed to put in the big spring over the door and that would be close to $1,000. I said no, what about replacing the extension springs. That would cost $750, $200/spring and $350 for labor. I said I couldn’t spend that much right now, what could he do to get the door to close and stay closed. He said he would have to re-tension the springs and that cost $210. I looked it up real quick and found springs for $20. My son went out to tell him never mind, we would fix it ourselves and he was already done. It had been 9 minutes. Below are pictures of the springs and the garage door (the pictures rotated so are upside down). It is a single door and seems to be in pretty good shape. Is there anything broken and needing to be replaced?
