There isn't a specific time given to expect since it depends on a variety of factors, but with a few helping hands and experience in doing this type of project, the installation of the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer - Dual Spring - 230-lb Capacity # 362SA8HD should take 1-2 hours.

If you have not worked with a torsion spring system before, we recommend contacting a local garage door company to install this system.
