Understanding the 27-48 Measurement
The 27-48 designation means approximately 27 inches of relaxed spring length with 48 inches of stretch, resulting in approximately 75 inches when extended. 48 inches is the stretch amount, not the total extended length.
Match the spring series, rating, end configuration, and door height before ordering.
Common Uses

Replacing a worn or broken spring on a compatible 8-foot-high sectional garage door.
-
Restoring proper counterbalance on systems specified for 270 lb-rated extension springs.
-
