SSC .2950 x 2.00" ID x 120" Torsion Spring – Left Wind (LW) – White

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC torsion spring is manufactured for sectional garage door systems requiring a .2950" wire diameter, 2.00" inside diameter, 120" spring length, and left-wind configuration.

Manufactured by Service Spring Corporation (SSC) from coated, oil-tempered spring wire, this long-length torsion spring is supplied with the winding cone and stationary cone pre-installed and carries an industry-standard minimum rating of 10,000 cycles.

Specifications

Long-Length 120" Torsion Spring

At 120 inches long, this is a significantly longer torsion spring than those used on many standard residential garage doors.

Long-length springs may be used where the counterbalance system requires:

• Lower torque per turn from a particular wire size

• Greater spring length

• Larger or heavier sectional doors

• Commercial or oversized residential applications

• Specialized drum or track configurations

Because of the unusually long spring length, compatibility must be calculated carefully before ordering.

White Wire Color Code

For this spring:

White = .2950" wire diameter

The color marking helps identify the wire size but should never be used by itself to select a replacement spring.

Always verify:

• Wire diameter

• Inside diameter

• Spring length

• Wind direction

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 support when viewed from inside the garage looking toward the door.

Garage door systems vary, so confirm the actual winding direction before ordering.

Cones Pre-Installed

This spring is supplied with:

• Winding cone installed

• Stationary cone installed

The winding cone is used to apply spring tension using proper winding bars.

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

Application

This spring is intended for compatible torsion-counterbalanced sectional garage doors.

Potential applications include:

• Heavy residential sectional doors

• Oversized garage doors

• Commercial sectional doors

• Long-span torsion systems

• Replacement of an existing matching spring

• Custom-engineered torsion systems

Compatibility & Fitment

Torsion springs are not universal.

For correct replacement, verify:

• Wire diameter: .2950"

• Inside diameter: 2.00"

• Spring length: 120"

• Wind direction: Left Wind

• Door weight

• Door height

• Cable drum model

• Track configuration

• Number of springs

• Required IPPT / torque

• Available spring shaft space

A spring can look similar to the original and still produce very different torque.

Important Matching Notes

For two-spring systems, both springs must be selected as a properly matched counterbalance pair.

Verify:

• Correct RW/LW pairing

• Spring torque

• Cable drum size

• Door weight

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

• Available shaft and spring space

This is especially important with a 120" long spring, because long-length springs are often part of specifically engineered counterbalance systems.

High-Lift & Commercial Applications

If the garage door uses:

• High-lift track

• Vertical-lift track

• Commercial drums

• Oversized cable drums

• Unusual door height

spring selection should be calculated from the actual door weight, drum geometry, and track configuration.

Do not substitute springs based only on wire size and length.

Why Correct Spring Selection Matters

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

A properly selected spring helps:

• Maintain correct door balance

• Reduce load on the garage door opener

• Maintain cable tension

• Provide smooth opening and closing

• Reduce wear on rollers, bearings, cables, and hardware

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 .2950" wire × 2.00" ID × 120" Left-Wind torsion spring, this SSC spring provides a professional-grade replacement with pre-installed winding and stationary cones.

Verify the complete spring dimensions, wind direction, drum configuration, and required torque before ordering.

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.
