Tools Needed:

Now, lift door and check it’s balance. Adjust, 

if 

door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if 

door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). 

Anytime spring adjustments are made, 

ratchet pawl knob must be in the upper 

position to add/remove required number 

of spring turns. To adjust springs, only add 

or remove a maximum of 3/10 of a turn 

(three teeth of ratchet wheel) at a time. 

Both sides need to be adjusted equally on 

double spring doors.

Add Spring Tension: 

The ratchet wheel is 

made of 10 teeth. To add spring tension, 

ensure the ratchet and socket is set so 

that it will tighten counter clockwise on 

the right hand side, and clockwise on the 

left hand side. Place the ratchet with 5/8’ 

socket onto the winding shaft, pull down 

to add 3/10 of a turn. Watch as three teeth 

of the ratchet wheel pass over the pawl, 

creating three “clicks”.

Remove Spring Tension:

 To remove 

spring tension, ensure the ratchet and 

socket is set so that it will tighten counter 

clockwise on the right hand side and 

clockwise on the left hand side. It is 

recommended that a regular 5/8” wrench 

be used. Place the wrench onto the 

winding shaft. Pull down on the wrench 

to relieve pressure between the pawl and 

the ratchet wheel. Push in on the pawl to 

allow the three ratchet wheel teeth to pass 

by the pawl, as you  carefully allow the 

wrench to be rotated upward by the spring 

tension. Release the pawl to allow it to 

engage with the ratchet wheel.

IMPORTANT:

 BE PREPARED TO hOLD ThE 

fuLL TENSION Of ThE SPRING.
