RE: Garage door springs (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 09:54:58 -0700; I agree, but IMO you should install them anyway, even if you never spend time in your garage.

9. Re: Garage door springs (score: 1): Author: pethier@comcast.net; Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 17:43:23 +0000; Yes, they can break. The good news is that the bar more than adequately takes the place of the safety cable and prevents the broken spring from flying around the room.
