The repairman was very friendly, but insisted I needed to install new springs because the old ones were too big for the door and the opener. I went ahead and bought them because I didn't want problems with the opener. I talked to a mechanic a few days later who works on Garage doors, and he stated that the guy just needed to do an adjustment on the springs that were there. There was no reason to pay for new springs, and to have to pay as much as I did for the added springs. He charged more for the springs than the cost of the opener AND installation of the opener. I was very disappointed to find out I was deceived.
