To adjust spring(s), 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. 

NoTE:

 single spring applications require 

no spring winding on left hand side.
Clamp a pair of vice clamps on the vertical 
tracks just above the second roller on one 
side and just below the second roller on 
the other side. This will prevent the door 
from raising or lowering while adjusting 
the spring(s).

PRIOR TO WINDING OR MakING 
aDjusTMENTs TO THE sPRINGs, ENsuRE 
yOu’RE WINDING IN THE PROPER 
DIRECTION as sTaTED IN THE 
INsTallaTION INsTRuCTIONs. 
OTHERWIsE THE sPRING FITTINGs May 
RElEasE FROM sPRING IF NOT WOuND 
IN THE PROPER DIRECTION aND COulD 
REsulT IN sEVERE OR FaTal INjuRy.

To 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”. 

To 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. Place the 
wrench onto the winding shaft. Pull down 
on the ratchet 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 ratchet wrench to be rotated 
upward by the spring tension. Release the 
pawl to allow it to engage with the ratchet 
wheel.
Remove the vice clamps from the vertical 
tracks, re-check door balance and adjust 
if necessary. When door is balanced and 
adjusted properly, place the ratchet pawl 
knobs in the active position (lower  
position).
