SSC .2187" × 2.00" ID × 24.75" Torsion Spring – LW – White

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC left-wound torsion spring is designed for sectional garage door systems requiring .2187" wire, a 2.00" inside diameter, and a 24.75" relaxed spring-body length. It is manufactured from coated, oil-tempered wire and supplied with installed winding and stationary cones.

The exact 24.75" length is an important part of the specification. A spring that looks similar but differs in length can produce a different spring rate, affecting how the door balances throughout its travel.

Specifications

Construction & Package Contents

The spring’s oil-tempered wire is designed for repeated torque loading as the door opens and closes. The coating helps protect the wire surface while remaining subject to environmental wear and normal maintenance requirements.

The winding cone and stationary cone are installed. Their presence does not eliminate the need to verify fit or make spring installation a homeowner task.

This listing includes one left-wound spring with cones. A right-wound companion spring, shaft, drums, cables, bearings, brackets, and winding tools are separate items.

Common Uses

For professional replacement of a matching spring on a sectional garage door or installation as part of a professionally calculated counterbalance arrangement.

The spring helps offset the door’s weight when correctly selected. It should not be assigned a universal door-weight capacity from its dimensions or white marking alone. Door travel, cable drum geometry, operating torque, and other springs affect its application.

Exact Fit: Do Not Round the Length

Confirm .2187" wire, 2.00" ID, 24.75" relaxed body length, and left-hand wind.

Do not round 24.75" to 25.00" when choosing a replacement. Although the difference appears small, a replacement should match the verified specification or be approved through a spring calculation.

The listed length excludes both cones. It must represent the relaxed coil body, not a wound spring measured on the door. Have a qualified technician obtain measurements safely; do not release spring tension yourself.

The 2.00" inside diameter is the dimension inside the coils. Shaft diameter, cone bore, mounting pattern, and available installation space must be checked separately.

Left-Hand Wind & White Color Code

LW identifies the direction of the coil. White identifies the wire-size color code and does not establish wind direction, installation side, or lifting capacity.

This left-wound spring is not interchangeable with the right-wound version of the same dimensions. Select the wind required by the actual counterbalance arrangement.

Spring Pairing & System Changes

On a two-spring door, verify both spring specifications and have both evaluated for age and condition. Replacing both may be appropriate when they have similar service histories, but the required pair must be calculated for the door.

Do not assume an existing installation is correctly sized if the door has been difficult to operate or has received weight-changing modifications. Different drums, added insulation, overlays, or lift conversions may require a new spring selection. High-lift and vertical-lift applications need their own calculations.

Cycle Rating & Maintenance

The standard minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in the correct application. One cycle is one complete opening and closing. Actual lifespan depends on daily use, environment, maintenance, and loading.

Follow the door manufacturer’s inspection and lubrication recommendations. Have the system serviced if the door becomes heavy, lifts unevenly, or develops abnormal noise.

Installation & Safety

For qualified professional installation only. Never loosen loaded spring fittings, anchor brackets, drums, or bottom cable attachments. Do not operate a door with a broken spring or use the opener to force an unbalanced door.

After installation, the technician should inspect cables and supporting hardware, verify door balance and cable tracking, and test opener safety functions.

Choose this SSC left-wound spring after confirming the exact 24-3/4" body length and all remaining application details.
