🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC garage door extension spring is designed for sectional garage doors approximately 7 feet high requiring an 80 lb spring rating.

Manufactured by Service Spring Corporation (SSC), this spring belongs to the 25-42 Series and features an open-loop end configuration for compatible extension-spring systems.

The spring is manufactured from black-coated oil-tempered spring wire, uses the Gold identification color for the 80 lb rating, and is rated for a minimum of 10,000 operating cycles.

Specifications

Designed for 7' High Garage Doors

The 25-42 Series is designed for compatible sectional garage doors approximately 7 feet high.

The 25-42 designation identifies the spring series and application and should not be treated as a simple 25" × 42" physical dimension.

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

• Door height

• Pull rating

• End configuration

• Existing spring type

• Door counterbalance requirements

80 lb Pull Rating

This spring has an 80 lb pull rating.

Correct spring rating is essential for proper garage door balance. A spring that is too weak or too strong can cause:

• Heavy manual operation

• Door drift

• Uneven lifting

• Incorrect cable tension

• Excessive opener strain

• Premature hardware wear

Always match the replacement spring to the required counterbalance specification.

Gold Color Code

The Gold identification color corresponds to the 80 lb rating in this SSC spring configuration.

Color coding is useful for identification but should not be the only specification used when selecting a replacement.

Confirm:

• 7' door application

• 25-42 Series

• 80 lb pull rating

• Gold identification

• Open-loop ends

Open-Loop Ends

This spring features open-loop ends for attachment to compatible extension-spring hardware.

Clips are not included with this version.

SSC also manufactures double-loop and clipped-end versions, so compare the existing spring attachment style before ordering.

How Extension Springs Work

Extension springs are normally mounted along the horizontal tracks on both sides of a sectional garage door.

As the door closes, the springs stretch and store mechanical energy. During opening, this stored energy helps counterbalance the weight of the door.

A properly sized extension-spring system helps provide:

• Smooth door travel

• Proper counterbalance

• Reduced garage door opener load

• Consistent cable tension

• Easier manual operation

Compatibility & Fitment

Extension springs are not universal.

This spring should be selected when your garage door system requires:

• 7' high garage door

• 25-42 Series

• 80 lb pull rating

• Gold color code

• Open-loop ends

Also inspect the existing:

• Lift cables

• Pulleys

• Safety cables

• Track hardware

• Rear spring attachment points

• Fasteners and supports

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

Replace Extension Springs in Pairs

For garage doors using two extension springs, replacing both springs as a matching pair is generally recommended.

Both springs normally experience approximately the same number of operating cycles. When one spring breaks 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 travel

• 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, 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, safety containment cables, and proper installation procedures.
