SSC .2187" × 2.00" ID × 26.00" 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 26.00" relaxed spring-body length, with winding and stationary cones 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 the door’s weight, support controlled movement, and help the opener operate a balanced door.

Specifications

Construction & Included Components

The oil-tempered wire provides the spring material for repeated torque loading during normal operation. Its protective coating helps protect the wire surface, but does not make the spring maintenance-free or eliminate environmental wear.

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 winding tools are separate components.

Common Applications

For professional replacement of a matching left-wound spring on a sectional garage door. It may also be selected as part of a professionally calculated spring combination when repairing or reconfiguring a counterbalance system.

Compatibility is determined by the door and counterbalance requirements—not the opener brand, motor horsepower, or door width alone. Actual door weight, travel height, drum geometry, and any companion spring must be considered.

Exact Fit & Measurement

Confirm .2187" wire diameter, 2.00" inside diameter, 26.00" relaxed body length, and left-hand wind before ordering.

The 26.00" dimension is the coil-body length without the cones and without stored winding tension. An installed spring can be longer than its original relaxed measurement. Have a qualified technician confirm dimensions safely rather than releasing tension yourself.

A 24.75", 25.00", or 26.00" spring with the same wire diameter and inside diameter will have a different spring rate. Do not substitute a nearby length without a professional calculation.

The 2.00" ID describes the opening inside the coils—not the shaft diameter. Verify cone bore, shaft fit, stationary mounting, and available assembly space separately.

Left-Hand Wind & White Identification

LW identifies the direction of the spring coil. White is the wire-size identification color and does not indicate installation side or door-weight capacity.

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

Pairing, Drums & Lift Configuration

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

Changes to door weight, cable drums, or lift configuration require a sizing review. High-lift and vertical-lift systems need calculations specific to their 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 26.00" specification and your door’s complete counterbalance requirements.
