SSC .2070" × 2.00" ID × 24.00" Torsion Spring – LW – Yellow

🇺🇸 Made in USA

Restore the intended counterbalance on a compatible sectional garage door with this SSC left-wound torsion spring. It combines .2070" wire, a 2.00" inside diameter, and a 24.00" relaxed spring-body length, with winding and stationary cones already installed.

Manufactured from coated, oil-tempered spring wire, this spring stores and releases torque as the door moves. When correctly selected, it works with the complete counterbalance assembly to offset door weight, support controlled movement, and help the opener operate a balanced door.

Specifications

Construction & Included Components

Oil-tempered wire provides the spring material for repeated torque loading during normal operation. The coating helps protect the wire surface, but does not eliminate corrosion risk or the need for inspection and maintenance.

Both cones are installed. The winding cone provides the fitting used for professional tension adjustment, while the stationary cone secures the opposite end to a compatible anchor arrangement.

This listing includes one spring with cones. A companion spring, shaft, cable drums, cables, bearings, brackets, and installation tools are separate components.

Common Applications

For professional replacement of a matching left-wound spring on a sectional garage door or use in a professionally calculated counterbalance combination.

Compatibility depends on actual door weight, travel height, drum geometry, and the complete spring arrangement. Door width, opener horsepower, or a yellow paint marking alone does not establish whether this spring is suitable.

Exact Fit & Measurement

Confirm .2070" wire diameter, 2.00" inside diameter, 24.00" relaxed body length, and left-hand wind before ordering.

This 24.00" spring is not automatically interchangeable with a 20.00", 22.00", or 25.00" spring using the same wire and inside diameter. Changing body length changes the spring rate and can affect balance throughout the door’s travel.

The listed length covers the relaxed coil body only, excluding both cones. An installed spring under winding tension may measure longer than its original body length. Have a qualified technician confirm measurements safely rather than releasing tension yourself.

The spring’s 2.00" inside diameter is separate from the shaft diameter. Check cone bore, shaft fit, stationary mounting, and available assembly space independently.

Left-Hand Wind & Yellow Identification

LW identifies the direction of the spring coil. Yellow is the wire-size identification color and does not indicate installation side or a universal lifting capacity.

This is a torsion spring, so its yellow marking should not be interpreted using extension-spring weight-color conventions. Confirm the actual wire diameter and required wind instead of ordering by color alone.

Pairing, Drums & Lift Configuration

On a two-spring door, have both springs inspected and their specifications confirmed. Replacing both aging springs may be appropriate, but the correct pair can use matching or different dimensions depending on the engineered design.

Added insulation, overlays, replacement sections, different drums, or lift conversions can change the spring requirements. High-lift and vertical-lift systems need calculations specific to their actual drum and travel geometry.

Cycle Life & Maintenance

One cycle is one complete opening and closing. The standard minimum 10,000-cycle rating applies to a correctly selected application and does not guarantee a fixed number of years.

Follow the door manufacturer’s inspection and lubrication guidance. Arrange service if the door becomes heavy, moves unevenly, or develops unusual noise. Increasing opener force does not correct poor spring balance.

Professional Installation & Safety

Torsion springs store hazardous energy. Installation and adjustment must be performed by a qualified garage door technician using proper winding bars and manufacturer procedures.

Never loosen loaded cones, drums, anchors, or bottom cable brackets. Keep a door with a broken spring out of operation. After replacement, verify supporting-hardware condition, door balance, cable operation, and opener safety functions.

Order this SSC left-wound spring after confirming the exact 24.00" specification and your door’s complete counterbalance requirements.
