Specifications

25-42 Series for 7' High Doors

The 25-42 designation identifies the SSC extension-spring series used for compatible 7-foot-high sectional garage doors.

It should not be interpreted as a simple physical measurement.

Correct spring selection should be based on the complete spring specification, including:

• Door height

• Required pull rating

• Spring series

• Attachment configuration

• Existing counterbalance setup

• Actual door weight

230 lb Pull Rating

This spring provides a 230 lb pull rating and is intended for heavier garage door applications requiring this specific counterbalance capacity.

Using the wrong extension spring rating can cause:

• Heavy manual operation

• A door that rises unexpectedly

• Poor door balance

• Uneven cable tension

• Excessive opener strain

• Premature hardware wear

Always verify the required spring rating before installation.

Yellow Color Code

The Yellow identification color corresponds to the 230 lb extension-spring rating in this SSC configuration.

Extension-spring colors repeat across different weight ranges, so color alone should never determine the replacement spring.

Before ordering, confirm:

• 7' door application

• 25-42 Series

• 230 lb pull rating

• Yellow identification

• Clip-style attachment

Clips Included

This version is supplied with clips for compatible extension-spring attachment hardware.

This differs from open-loop and double-loop extension springs, which use different end configurations.

Compare your existing spring and attachment hardware before ordering.

Heavy-Duty Extension Spring Application

A 230 lb extension spring is intended for heavier sectional garage doors than common light-duty residential extension springs.

Correct application depends on the actual door weight and counterbalance system.

Do not substitute this spring for a lower-rated spring simply because the components appear similar.

How Extension Springs Work

Extension springs are generally installed alongside the horizontal tracks on both sides of a sectional garage door.

As the door closes, the springs stretch and store mechanical energy. As the door opens, that stored energy helps lift and counterbalance the door.

A correctly matched extension-spring system helps provide:

• Smooth door travel

• Proper counterbalance

• Reduced opener strain

• Correct cable tension

• Easier manual operation

Compatibility & Fitment

Extension springs are not universal.

This spring should be selected when your system specifically requires:

• 7' high garage door

• 25-42 Series

• 230 lb pull rating

• Yellow color code

• Clip-style attachment with clips

Also inspect the existing:

• Lift cables

• Pulleys

• Safety containment cables

• Spring attachment points

• Track hardware

• Rear supports

• Fasteners

Replace worn or damaged components before returning the door to service.

Replace Extension Springs in Pairs

If the garage door uses two extension springs, replacing both springs as a matching pair is generally recommended.

Both springs normally experience approximately the same number of operating cycles. If one spring fails or weakens, the opposite spring may already be fatigued.

Using one new spring with one worn spring can result in:

• Uneven lifting force

• Unequal cable tension

• Crooked door movement

• Poor balance

• Increased hardware wear

Safety Cables Strongly Recommended

Extension-spring systems should use properly installed safety containment cables running through each spring.

If an extension spring breaks, the safety cable helps contain the spring and reduces the risk of it becoming a dangerous projectile.

Inspect existing safety cables whenever replacing extension springs.

Safety Warning

⚠️ Garage door extension springs operate under substantial tension and can cause severe injury, death, or property damage if improperly handled.

Never remove an extension spring, pulley, lift cable, clip, or attachment point while the spring is stretched.

Secure the garage door and fully release spring tension before servicing the extension-spring system.

Installation should be performed by a qualified person familiar with garage door extension springs, containment cables, and proper installation procedures.
