Hello. My garage door is not balanced. When lifting manually it doesn't appear to have any mechanical assist and also just falls back down. I recently tried to tighten the springs to see if that could assist in keeping the door up. I was able to tighten the right side spring a 1/4 turn before running into excess resistance. I tapped the unit further to the right about a quarter inch to ensure that the spring was not just binding but it still would not tighten further with reasonable force. I then tried to tighten the left side spring and it would not move at all with reasonable force. The end caps on both are red and there is a green stripe across both of the springs. Yes I loosened and retightened the set screws during the attempted winding process.
I bought the house 4 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if something isn't installed correctly related to the springs since that is my luck with anything that I don't research and learn to do myself. I would greatly appreciate if someone could comment on whether something is totally off that I am missing or provide any further advise. Thank you.
