SSC .2187" × 2.00" ID × 25.00" Torsion Spring – LW – White

🇺🇸 Made in USA

Restore the intended counterbalance on a compatible sectional garage door with this SSC left-wound torsion spring. It combines .2187" wire, a 2.00" inside diameter, and a 25.00" relaxed spring-body length, with winding and stationary cones already installed.

The coated, oil-tempered wire is designed to store and release torque as part of the door’s counterbalance system. When the spring is correctly selected and installed, that system offsets the door’s weight so the door can move properly without making the opener compensate for an unbalanced load.

Specifications

Construction & What Is Included

This spring is supplied with the fittings needed to connect it to a compatible torsion assembly: an installed winding cone and an installed stationary cone.

The coating helps protect the wire surface, while the oil-tempered wire provides the spring material for repeated operation. Neither the finish nor the cycle rating removes the need for correct sizing and maintenance.

This listing is for one spring. A matching opposite-wind spring, shaft, drums, cables, bearings, brackets, and installation tools are separate components.

Common Applications

For replacement and service of sectional garage door systems specifically requiring this left-wound spring configuration. A technician may also select it as part of a calculated spring combination when repairing or redesigning a counterbalance assembly.

Compatibility cannot be determined from the opener brand, door width, or the spring’s white marking alone. The actual door weight, travel, cable drums, and complete spring arrangement must be considered.

Exact Fit & Measurement Checks

Verify .2187" wire diameter, 2.00" inside diameter, 25.00" relaxed coil-body length, and left-hand wind before ordering.

The 25.00" length is particularly important. A 24.75", 25.00", and 26.00" spring may look similar, but changing length changes the spring rate. Do not round an existing measurement to the nearest available product without a professional calculation.

Measure the spring body without the cones and without stored winding tension. Do not unwind an installed spring yourself to obtain that measurement.

The spring’s inside diameter is not the torsion shaft diameter. Verify cone fit, stationary mounting, and available space along the shaft separately.

Left-Hand Wind & White Color Code

LW identifies the spring’s coil direction. White is the wire-size identification color; it is not a door-weight rating and does not identify left- or right-hand wind.

Installation position depends on the counterbalance arrangement. Confirm the required wind from the actual system instead of choosing a spring solely by which side of the door it occupies.

Pairing & Application Changes

Have both springs assessed when servicing a two-spring door. Replacing both aging springs can be appropriate, but the new pair must provide the required combined torque and spring rate. Do not assume both springs must have identical dimensions.

Added insulation, replacement sections, glazing, decorative overlays, different drums, or lift conversions can change the door’s requirements. High-lift and vertical-lift systems require calculations specific to their geometry.

Cycle Rating & Ongoing Care

The standard minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in the correct application. One cycle is one complete opening and closing. Actual life depends on operating frequency, environment, maintenance, and how the spring is loaded.

Arrange service if the door becomes difficult to move, lifts unevenly, or no longer remains properly balanced. Follow the door manufacturer’s inspection and lubrication recommendations.

Professional Installation & Safety

Torsion springs store hazardous energy. Installation, removal, and tension adjustment must be handled by a qualified technician. Never loosen loaded cones, anchors, drums, or cable attachments, and never use an opener to force a door with a broken spring.

After replacement, the technician should inspect the supporting hardware, verify balance and cable operation, and test the opener’s safety functions.

Choose this SSC left-wound spring when its exact dimensions and wind match your verified replacement specification.
