Just read that a standard 2-car garage door spring holds over 7,000 foot-pounds of torque

Found that in a safety manual from a supplier, which explains why they can be so dangerous to mess with. Anyone here ever had to replace one themselves, or do you always call a pro?

Seriously, check the data ruby310 mentioned. It's a real issue, not hype.

Overblown" might not fit when you look at the actual numbers.
