SSC .2187 x 2.00" ID x 23.5" Torsion Spring – Left Wind (LW) – White

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC Extended Cycle torsion spring is manufactured for residential and light-commercial sectional garage door systems requiring a .2187" wire diameter, 2.00" inside diameter, 23.5" spring length, and left-wind configuration.

Manufactured using SSC's extended-cycle spring process, it is engineered to provide longer service life than a conventional oil-tempered torsion spring while maintaining proper door counterbalance when correctly matched to the garage door system.

The spring comes coated, oil-tempered, and complete with the winding cone and stationary cone pre-installed.

Specifications

SSC Extended-Cycle Construction

This spring is part of SSC's extended-cycle spring line, designed for applications where increased service life is desired.

Compared with a traditional standard-cycle oil-tempered spring, SSC's extended-cycle manufacturing process can provide up to approximately 1.5 times the service life, depending on the garage door system, spring engineering, installation, and operating conditions.

Actual cycle life depends on factors such as:

• Door weight

• Spring torque requirements

• Number of springs

• Cable drum size

• Track configuration

• Door height

• Daily operating frequency

• Proper spring selection and adjustment

The published industry-standard minimum remains 10,000 cycles.

White Wire Color Code

SSC uses color coding to help identify torsion spring wire size.

For this spring:

White = .2187" wire diameter

The color marking is an identification aid only.

Do not select a replacement torsion spring based solely on color.

Left-Wind Configuration

This is a Left-Wind (LW) torsion spring.

On many standard two-spring torsion systems, a left-wind spring is typically mounted on the right side of the center bearing plate when viewed from inside the garage looking toward the door.

However, garage door configurations vary.

Always verify the actual wind direction of the existing spring before ordering.

Pre-Installed Cones

The spring comes ready for installation with:

• Winding cone installed

• Stationary cone installed

The winding cone allows the spring to be tensioned using proper winding bars.

The stationary cone secures the spring to the center bearing plate or spring anchor bracket.

Application

This spring is intended for compatible sectional garage doors using a torsion-spring counterbalance system.

It may be appropriate for:

• Residential sectional garage doors

• High-use residential doors

• Light-commercial doors

• Replacement of a broken torsion spring

• Preventive spring replacement

• Applications where an extended-cycle spring is preferred

Compatibility & Fitment

Torsion springs are not universal.

A correct replacement spring must be selected using the complete garage door counterbalance requirements.

Verify:

• Wire diameter: .2187"

• Inside diameter: 2.00"

• Spring length: 23.5"

• Wind direction: Left Wind

• Door weight

• Door height

• Cable drum type

• Track configuration

• Number of springs

• Required torque / IPPT

Two springs that look almost identical can have significantly different torque characteristics.

Important Matching Notes

If the garage door uses two torsion springs, the springs must be engineered to work together as a matched counterbalance system.

Do not assume that simply matching the physical dimensions of one broken spring guarantees correct door balance.

Pay particular attention to:

• Matching LW and RW spring torque

• Cable drum size

• Standard-lift vs. high-lift configuration

• Door weight

• Spring cycle requirements

For high-lift or vertical-lift garage doors, spring selection must be calculated around the actual drum and track system.

Why Proper Spring Selection Matters

The torsion spring carries most of the effective weight of the garage door.

When correctly sized and wound, it allows the door to:

• Lift smoothly

• Stay balanced

• Reduce load on the opener

• Maintain cable tension

• Close without excessive force

An incorrectly sized spring can cause the door to become too heavy, too light, difficult to control, or unsafe.

Ready to Order?

If your garage door system requires a .2187" wire × 2.00" ID × 23.5" Left-Wind extended-cycle torsion spring, this SSC spring provides a professional-grade replacement with pre-installed cones and extended-cycle construction.

Verify all spring dimensions and wind direction before ordering, then add the correct spring to your cart.

Safety Warning

⚠️ Garage door torsion springs are under extreme stored energy.

Installation, winding, adjustment, and removal can cause serious injury or property damage if performed incorrectly.

Use proper winding bars and professional garage-door service procedures. Installation by a qualified garage door technician is strongly recommended.
