Specifications

25-42 Series for 7' High Doors

This spring is part of SSC's 25-42 Series, used for compatible 7-foot-high sectional garage doors.

The 25-42 designation identifies the spring series and should not be treated simply as a literal product measurement.

For proper replacement, verify:

• Door height: 7'

• Spring series: 25-42

• Pull rating: 70 lb

• Color code: Orange

• End style: Double Loop

• Existing counterbalance configuration

70 lb Pull Rating

This spring provides a 70 lb pull rating.

Correct spring strength is critical to maintaining proper garage door balance.

Using an extension spring with the wrong pull rating can cause:

• Heavy manual operation

• A door that rises unexpectedly

• Poor door balance

• Uneven cable tension

• Excessive opener strain

• Premature pulley and hardware wear

Always verify the required spring rating before ordering.

Orange Color Code

For this spring:

Orange = 70 lb pull rating

Extension-spring colors repeat at higher weight ranges, so color alone should never be used to identify a replacement spring.

Confirm the full spring specification before ordering.

Double-Loop Ends

This spring uses a Double Loop (DL) end configuration.

Double-loop ends provide two coils at the attachment point for a durable connection to compatible extension-spring hardware.

This is not the clipped-end version, and installation clips are not included.

How Extension Springs Work

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

When the door closes, the springs stretch and store energy. When the door opens, the springs contract and help counterbalance the weight of the door.

A properly matched system helps provide:

• Smooth door movement

• Correct door balance

• Reduced opener strain

• Proper cable tension

• Easier manual operation

Compatibility & Fitment

Extension springs are not universal.

This spring is intended for systems requiring:

• 7' high sectional garage door

• 25-42 Series

• 70 lb pull rating

• Orange identification

• Double-loop ends

Also inspect the existing:

• Lift cables

• Pulleys

• Safety containment cables

• Spring attachment points

• Track hardware

Replace Extension Springs in Pairs

For doors using one extension spring on each side, replacing both springs as a matched pair is generally recommended.

An older spring may have lost tension after years of service. Installing one new spring beside an older worn spring can result in uneven door balance and uneven loading of the cable and pulley system.

Safety Containment Cables

A properly installed safety containment cable should run through each extension spring.

If an extension spring breaks, the containment cable helps prevent the spring from becoming a dangerous projectile.

Inspect existing safety cables and replace any damaged or missing components before returning the door to service.

Safety Warning

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

Never remove an extension spring, pulley, lift cable, 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 extension springs, containment cables, and proper garage-door service procedures.
