Specifications

Designed for 7' High Garage Doors

The 25-42 extension spring series is designed for compatible 7-foot-high sectional garage doors.

Key specifications include:

• 25" approximate relaxed length

• 42" approximate stretch

• 180 lb pull rating

• Gold color code

• Clipped ends

• Clips included

Correct spring selection is essential for maintaining proper garage door balance and safe operation.

180 lb Pull Rating

This extension spring is rated for a 180 lb application.

The spring rating should match the weight and configuration of the garage door. Installing a spring with too much or too little lifting force can cause:

• Poor door balance

• Uneven movement

• Excessive opener strain

• Premature hardware wear

• Difficulty opening or closing

• Unsafe garage door operation

Always verify the required spring rating before ordering.

Gold Color Code

The Gold color marking identifies the 180 lb rating in this 25-42 extension spring series.

Extension spring color codes can repeat at different weight ranges, so never select a replacement spring by color alone.

Always verify:

• Door height

• Spring series

• Pull rating

• Spring length

• Stretch

• End configuration

Clips Included

This spring features clipped ends and includes clips for compatible installation applications.

Before ordering, compare your existing spring and hardware, including:

• Spring ends

• Clips

• Pulleys

• Lift cables

• Safety cables

• Rear track supports

• Spring attachment points

How Extension Springs Work

Extension springs are typically installed alongside the horizontal tracks of a sectional garage door.

As the garage door closes, the springs stretch and store mechanical energy. When the door opens, that stored energy assists in counterbalancing and lifting the weight of the door.

A properly matched extension spring system helps provide:

• Smooth garage door movement

• Proper counterbalance

• Reduced load on the garage door opener

• Controlled opening and closing

• Reduced strain on cables and pulleys

Compatibility & Fitment

Designed for compatible:

• 7' high sectional garage doors

• 25-42 extension spring systems

• Doors requiring a 180 lb pull rating

• Compatible clipped-end spring hardware

• Standard extension-spring pulley and cable systems

This spring is not designed for torsion spring systems.

Before ordering, verify:

• Door height

• Pull rating

• Spring length

• Stretch specification

• Gold color code

• Clipped-end configuration

Replace Extension Springs in Pairs

If your garage door uses two extension springs, replacing both springs at the same time is strongly recommended.

Springs installed together typically experience similar operating cycles. If one spring has failed or weakened, the opposite spring may also be approaching the end of its service life.

Installing one new spring alongside an older worn spring can create uneven lifting force and poor garage door balance.

Safety Cables Recommended

Extension springs store significant mechanical energy when stretched.

Properly installed extension spring safety cables should be used where required by the door system. A safety cable runs through the spring and helps contain it if the spring breaks during operation.

Never operate an extension-spring garage door with missing, damaged, or improperly installed required safety hardware.

If any of these specifications are different, verify the correct replacement spring before ordering.

Safety Warning

⚠️ Garage door extension springs store substantial mechanical energy and can cause serious injury, death, or property damage if improperly installed or handled.

Installation should be performed by a qualified person familiar with extension spring systems, lift cables, pulleys, and safety cables.

Never remove or disconnect a stretched extension spring without first safely releasing spring tension.
