This version features open-loop ends, a durable black-coated oil-tempered spring wire, and the Light Blue identification color corresponding to the 90 lb spring rating.

Specifications

Designed for 7' High Garage Doors

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

As the garage door closes, the spring stretches and stores mechanical energy. That stored energy helps counterbalance the weight of the door during opening.

Correct spring selection is essential for smooth, balanced, and safe garage door operation.

90 lb Pull Rating

This spring carries a 90 lb pull rating.

The correct extension spring should be selected according to the door's actual counterbalance requirements rather than appearance alone.

An incorrectly rated spring may cause:

• A door that feels excessively heavy

• A door that rises on its own

• Uneven door movement

• Incorrect cable tension

• Excessive garage door opener strain

• Premature pulley and hardware wear

Light Blue Color Code

The Light Blue identification color corresponds to the 90 lb spring rating.

Color coding is useful when identifying an existing spring, but color alone should not determine compatibility.

Before ordering, verify:

• Door height

• Door weight

• Spring rating

• Relaxed spring length

• Working stretch

• End configuration

Open-Loop Ends

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

Clips are not included with this spring.

Open-loop, double-loop, and clipped-end extension springs use different attachment configurations. Compare your existing spring and hardware before ordering.

How Extension Springs Work

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

As the door closes, the springs stretch and store energy. As the door opens, that energy assists in lifting the door.

A correctly sized extension-spring system helps provide:

• Proper door balance

• Smooth travel

• Reduced opener load

• Consistent cable tension

• Easier manual operation

Compatibility & Fitment

Extension springs are not universal.

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

• 7' high door application

• 25-42 spring configuration

• 90 lb pull rating

• Light Blue identification

• Open-loop ends

Also inspect the existing:

• Lift cables

• Pulleys

• Safety cables

• Track hardware

• Rear spring attachment points

• Fasteners and supports

Worn or damaged components should be replaced before returning the door to service.

Replace Extension Springs in Pairs

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

Both springs usually experience approximately the same number of operating cycles. When one spring fails or becomes weak, the opposite spring may already be significantly fatigued.

Using one new spring with one worn spring can cause:

• Uneven lifting force

• Unequal cable tension

• Crooked door travel

• Poor door 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 prevents it from becoming a dangerous projectile.

Inspect existing safety cables whenever extension springs are replaced.

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.
