For dealing safely with regular garage door springs,
there are two key rules:

1:  Don't mess with them unless the door is all the
way up!  When the door is up, the springs have very
little tension.

2: Secure the door in the up position, with C-clamps,
etc.  Once you disconnect a spring or a cable, there
is nothing to prevent the door from crashing down.
