adjusting non-torsion garage door springs

Neighbor lady has an overhead door, with Genie opener, that

feels kinds heavy and drops like a rock when you release

the catch. I'd like to cure that.

This is not a torsion spring door! On each side there

are 2 coiled springs -- an eye bolt on one end and a

cable on t'other.

Do I just tighten the nuts on the eye bolts to increase

the spring tension resisting the drop of the door??
