How do you determine torsion spring "wind"? Is "right" if it's on right side from center when looking from inside the garage?

Both springs(left/right) aids in lifting the garage door open so in the close position(garage is closed) both springs are in the unwound position hence the highest tension. For a seven 7 ft garage opening I started unwinding the spring about 7 full turns (with a 6" diameter cable spool) then you can incrementally add to them equally till the garage fully open .

It is a trial and error process of tightening enough to hold the door up at the upper position but not too much so that the door stays down in the lowered position. Be very careful and fully secure in each 1/4 turn - it can slap you hard.

Yes, my fan has some play but it feels like it is 'spring-loaded'; I thought it was intentional so it wouldn't go from pointing up to pointing down without a sturdy push into position. It feels to me as though the play is intentional; so that the movement of the fan blades wouldn't cause the entire thing to wobble.

Sorry no. The spring part (horizontal part) only goes on one way. You could saw the legs.

When you look at the garage standing outside the one on the left is left and right is on the right.Also measure the diameter of the old one. No need to replace both.

If you haven't noticed, it has the text in two directions. The test light should be on the bottom right corner, but there could be applications where you would need to reverse the direction (i.e., ceiling mounted).

From street your left spring is on the right. It's referring to the direction you wind it.

there is a side hinge angle adjustment....good buy.I have a pit in my garage and was looking for something waterproof, and not hot when using under a vehicle.it is a great working light for anywhere...indoors or outdoors.just checked it....can be set flat facing the floor feet....or past 180 degrees upward away from the feet.hinges below green part of the light....see black knob side adjuster, the other black knob below just holds it to the base

As you face the garage from the inside. Left side is red and right side is black

That's how I'm using it. But the spring has to be on the outside... the hinge side.

There is a wire on the side opposite of the rotating shaft, if that makes any sense. Imagine trying to hang a gallon paint can by its handle, only smaller.

When you look at the garage standing outside the one on the left is left and right is on the right. You cannot trust the red right deal sometimes both are red or black or no color. I recommend replace both anyway. internet search "DIY garage door spring repair" some great sights come up!

Not normal. Large spring on the vertical shaft should keep it centered. Spring force is less near the middle but it should always re-center.

I have mine opening to the right. just as the others have said, it's symmetrical, so flipping it totally works.

I would believe bescor, I assume there all the same, it does up to 360 one way so if you have it in the middle you can go 180 left or right

the torsion bar is part of the door. it is a coiled spring above the door header. the unit comes with the hardware to install opener, very easy to install and works well.

I bought the two bike extension so by comparison yours is light. &#128521; I lean mine against the garage wall with the tongue facing out.

Pretty close. I only had to do about 35 degrees. there is a slot that you have to point in the direction of the bend, so if you don't drill the holes in the right rotation you'll find out afterward that you have the slot facing the wrong direction.
