SSC .2253 x 2.00" ID x 24.5" Torsion Spring – Left Wind (LW) – Red

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC Extended Cycle torsion spring is manufactured for sectional garage door systems requiring a .2253" wire diameter, 2.00" inside diameter, 24.5" spring length, and left-wind configuration.

Manufactured by Service Spring Corporation (SSC) using its Extended Cycle Springs technology, this spring is designed for longer service life than a conventional oil-tempered spring while maintaining proper garage door counterbalance when correctly matched to the door.

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

Specifications

SSC Extended Cycle Springs Technology

SSC Extended Cycle Springs use a specialized manufacturing process designed to increase operating life compared with conventional oil-tempered torsion springs.

SSC states that its Extended Cycle Springs technology can provide up to approximately 1.5 times the cycle life of traditional oil-tempered springs.

Actual spring life depends on the complete garage door system, including:

• Door weight

• Door height

• Required torque

• Number of springs

• Cable drums

• Track configuration

• Daily operating frequency

• Correct installation and winding

The published minimum remains 10,000 cycles.

Red Wire Color Code

SSC follows DASMA torsion-spring color identification standards.

For this spring:

Red = .2253" wire diameter

Color is only an identification aid.

Always verify the actual wire diameter, inside diameter, length, and wind before ordering.

Left-Wind Configuration

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

On many standard two-spring systems, the left-wind spring is typically installed on the right side of the center spring support when viewed from inside the garage looking toward the door.

Garage door configurations can vary, so always verify the existing spring's actual wind direction.

Cones Pre-Installed

This spring is supplied with:

• Winding cone installed

• Stationary cone installed

The winding cone is used to tension the spring with proper winding bars.

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

Application

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

Typical applications include:

• Residential sectional garage doors

• High-use residential doors

• Light-commercial sectional doors

• Replacement of broken torsion springs

• Preventive spring replacement

• Applications where increased cycle life is preferred

Compatibility & Fitment

Torsion springs are not universal.

For correct replacement, verify:

• Wire diameter: .2253"

• Inside diameter: 2.00"

• Spring length: 24.5"

• Wind direction: Left Wind

• Door weight

• Door height

• Cable drum type

• Track configuration

• Number of springs

• Required torque / IPPT

Physical dimensions alone do not always guarantee correct counterbalance.

Important Matching Notes

For two-spring systems, both springs must work together as a properly engineered pair.

Verify:

• Matching spring torque

• Correct RW/LW pairing

• Cable drum size

• Standard-lift, high-lift, or vertical-lift configuration

• Door weight

• Available spring space

• Required cycle life

High-lift and vertical-lift systems require spring selection based on the specific drum and track configuration.

Why Correct Spring Selection Matters

The torsion spring offsets most of the garage door's weight.

A correctly sized and properly wound spring helps:

• Keep the door balanced

• Reduce load on the opener

• Maintain cable tension

• Provide smooth opening and closing

• Reduce wear on hardware

• Improve overall garage door operation

An incorrectly selected spring can make the door excessively heavy, overly light, difficult to control, or unsafe.

Ready to Order?

If your garage door system requires a .2253" wire × 2.00" ID × 24.5" Left-Wind extended-cycle torsion spring, this SSC spring provides a professional-grade replacement with pre-installed cones and Extended Cycle construction.

Verify all 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.
