This isn't critical  .  .  .all the doors I've seen use a one piece solid
shaft and therefore balance is not affected noticeably if the springs are of
somewhat different tension . . It IS important to get the same tension on
the cables when you are replacing a cable . . you tune them to the same
musical note . . twang!
