Believe it or not there is another way which I found out of
necessity on my trailer ramp door [same arrangement]. 

With the door UP there was no, or almost no, tension in the
spring so I just looped an extra loop of the wire around
the pulley. Both sides of course. Was a little more fiddly
than that due to restricted access which is why I didn't go
the lever and set screw route.

Worth looking at - as many have said those springs and bars
can be lethal.
