Product Description

This right-wind garage door torsion spring is manufactured from .2253-inch coated oil-tempered spring wire with a 2.00-inch inside diameter and a 32-inch coil length.

The spring includes professionally installed winding and stationary cones, making it ready for installation on a compatible residential sectional garage door torsion system.

Designed to store and release torque as the garage door opens and closes, this spring helps counterbalance the weight of the door. Correct spring sizing is essential for safe, smooth operation and reduced strain on the garage door opener.

This is an industry-standard-cycle spring rated for a minimum of approximately 10,000 operating cycles when correctly selected, installed, and used on a properly balanced garage door.

Size / Specification Chart

IPPT means inch-pounds per turn and describes the approximate amount of torque the spring produces for each full turn of winding.

Common Uses

This spring may be used as a replacement on compatible residential sectional garage doors equipped with a standard torsion-spring counterbalance system.

Common applications include:

• Single-spring torsion systems
• Two-spring torsion systems
• Residential steel sectional garage doors
• Insulated sectional garage doors
• Standard-lift garage door systems
• Compatible torsion shafts using a 2-inch-ID spring

The spring is not selected by garage-door width, height, material, or weight alone. The complete spring specifications and required torque must be confirmed before ordering.

Compatibility & Fitment

This spring is compatible only when the required replacement specifications match:

• .2253-inch wire size
• 2.00-inch inside diameter
• 32-inch spring length
• Right-wind direction
• Required spring torque
• Compatible winding and stationary cone arrangement
• Compatible torsion shaft and center-bearing configuration

A right-wind torsion spring is normally installed on the left side of a standard torsion assembly when viewed from inside the garage looking outward. However, unusual assemblies and reverse-wound systems exist, so the original spring direction and complete door configuration must be verified.

The 32-inch length refers to the unwound spring coil only. Do not include the winding cone or stationary cone when measuring the original spring.

Important Matching Notes

Garage door torsion springs that look similar may produce substantially different amounts of torque.

Before ordering, verify all four primary spring measurements:

1. Wire diameter
2. Inside diameter
3. Unwound coil length
4. Wind direction

Also confirm the required IPPT, number of springs, cable-drum model, garage-door height, door weight, track configuration, and number of winding turns.

Do not select a replacement spring based only on:

• Painted color marks
• Overall appearance
• Garage-door size
• The side on which the spring is installed
• A partially stretched broken-spring measurement
• Another homeowner’s door configuration

A broken spring can separate and create a visible gap. Measure each complete coil section and combine the measurements to determine the original unwound coil length.

Do not substitute a different wire size or length without performing a proper spring conversion. A replacement spring with different dimensions may physically fit the shaft but produce incorrect torque.

When replacing one spring in a matched two-spring system, inspect the second spring carefully. Springs installed at the same time normally have similar operating cycles, and the remaining spring may be near the end of its service life.

What Is Included

• One right-wind torsion spring
• Installed winding cone
• Installed stationary cone

Winding bars, torsion shaft, bearings, center bracket, cable drums, lift cables, fasteners, and installation tools are not included unless specifically stated elsewhere in the listing.

Installation Notes

Installation requires correctly sized solid-steel winding bars that fit the winding-cone holes.

Before installation:

• Confirm the garage door is fully closed
• Disconnect electrical power to the opener
• Disengage the opener from the door
• Secure the torsion shaft against unintended movement
• Verify the cable drums and lift cables are properly positioned
• Inspect the shaft, bearings, center bracket, cables, drums, and bottom fixtures
• Confirm the spring is installed in the correct winding direction

The required number of winding turns depends on the garage-door height, cable-drum model, track configuration, and spring engineering. Do not use a generic number of turns without confirming the complete door setup.

After winding and securing the spring:

• Confirm both lift cables have equal tension
• Check that the cables remain properly seated in the drums
• Test the door manually before reconnecting the opener
• Verify that the door moves smoothly through its full travel
• Confirm that the door remains reasonably balanced at intermediate positions
• Adjust the opener limits and force only after the door is mechanically balanced
• Test the photoelectric sensors and contact-reversal system

The garage door opener must not be used to compensate for an incorrectly sized or improperly adjusted torsion spring.

Safety Warning

Garage door torsion springs, winding cones, bottom brackets, lift cables, and cable drums are under extreme tension. Incorrect handling can cause severe injury, death, or major property damage.

Spring replacement should be performed only by a trained garage-door professional with the correct tools, measurements, and knowledge of torsion-system procedures.

Never:

• Loosen set screws without controlling the spring with winding bars
• Use screwdrivers, punches, socket extensions, or improvised tools as winding bars
• Stand directly in front of a winding cone while winding or unwinding
• Touch or loosen bottom brackets while lift cables are under tension
• Install a spring without confirming the required torque and wind direction
• Operate a door with loose cables, damaged drums, broken hardware, or poor balance

Stop installation immediately if the spring specifications, winding direction, drum setup, shaft configuration, or required number of turns cannot be positively verified.
