Product Description

This right-wind extended-cycle garage door torsion spring is designed for sectional garage door systems requiring a .218-inch wire size, 2-inch inside diameter, and 23.5-inch spring length.

Manufactured in the USA from coated, oil-tempered spring wire, this spring uses an extended-cycle manufacturing process designed to provide up to 1.5 times the operating life of a traditional oil-tempered torsion spring.

The winding cone and stationary cone are already installed, making the spring ready for professional installation after its specifications have been properly matched to the garage door’s weight, height, cable drums, track configuration, and required torque.

Extended-cycle springs are a practical choice for frequently operated garage doors, including doors used by active households, workshops, service facilities, storage buildings, and light-commercial properties.

Common Uses

This torsion spring may be used in properly engineered spring systems for:

• Residential sectional garage doors
• Frequently operated household garage doors
• Light-commercial overhead doors
• Workshop and service-bay doors
• Storage-building doors
• Single-car and two-car garage doors
• Single-spring torsion systems
• Two-spring torsion systems

Actual compatibility depends on the complete spring calculation and not simply the garage door’s width, height, or appearance.

Compatibility & Fitment

This spring is compatible only with garage door systems engineered for all of the following specifications:

• .218-inch wire diameter
• 2-inch inside diameter
• 23.5-inch spring body length
• Right-wind configuration
• Compatible torsion shaft and cone bore
• Correct cable drums
• Correct track and lift configuration
• Correct torque requirement for the garage door’s weight

The spring should not be selected solely by color coding, door dimensions, mounting position, or visual similarity to the existing spring.

Correct torsion spring selection depends on:

• Actual garage door weight
• Door height
• Cable drum model
• Track configuration
• Standard-lift, high-lift, or vertical-lift setup
• Number of springs
• Wire diameter
• Inside diameter
• Spring length
• Required inch-pounds per turn
• Desired cycle life

Important Matching Notes

A right-wind torsion spring is commonly installed on the left side of the center support bracket when viewed from inside the garage facing the closed door. However, spring placement can vary depending on the torsion-system design.

Always confirm the wind direction from the spring itself rather than relying only on its mounting location.

Measure the spring body only after all tension has been safely removed. Measure the wound coils from end to end and do not include the winding cone or stationary cone.

A spring with the wrong wire size, inside diameter, length, or wind direction may prevent the door from balancing properly and can overload the opener, cables, drums, bearings, or other hardware.

When replacing one spring in a two-spring system, verify the size, wind direction, age, and condition of both springs. Replacing both springs as a correctly matched pair may provide more consistent lifting force and service life.

Installation Notes

This spring includes the winding cone and stationary cone. It does not include:

• Winding bars
• Torsion shaft
• Center bearing
• Center support bracket
• End bearing plates
• Cable drums
• Lift cables
• Bottom fixtures
• Mounting fasteners

Before installation, inspect the torsion shaft, bearings, drums, cables, brackets, and attachment points for wear, deformation, corrosion, or damage.

After installation, disconnect the automatic opener and test the garage door manually. A properly balanced door should move smoothly and remain near the halfway-open position without rapidly rising or falling.

The correct number of winding turns and final adjustment must be determined from the door height, drum configuration, spring engineering, and manufacturer requirements.

Safety Warning

Garage door torsion springs store extreme mechanical energy. Improper removal, installation, winding, or adjustment can cause severe injury, death, or property damage.

Installation should be performed only by a trained garage door technician using correctly sized solid-steel winding bars and established safety procedures.

Never use screwdrivers, ratchets, socket extensions, rebar, or improvised tools to wind or unwind a torsion spring.
