SSC Right-Wind Garage Door Torsion Spring – .2625 Wire × 2.00-Inch ID × 41-Inch Length, Coated with Cones

Product Description

This right-wind garage door torsion spring is manufactured by Service Spring Corporation (SSC) from .2625-inch coated oil-tempered spring wire. It has a 2.00-inch inside diameter and a 41-inch unwound coil length.

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

As part of the garage door’s counterbalance system, the spring stores and releases torque to offset the weight of the door. Correct spring sizing is essential for smooth operation, proper door balance, and reduced strain on the garage door opener and other hardware.

This is an industry-standard-cycle torsion 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. It represents the approximate amount of torque produced by the spring for each complete turn of winding.

Common Uses

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

Common applications may include:

• Residential sectional garage doors
• Insulated steel garage doors
• Wood-overlay sectional doors
• Single-spring torsion systems
• Two-spring torsion systems
• Standard-lift garage door systems
• Select light-commercial sectional doors
• Compatible torsion assemblies using a 2-inch-ID spring

This spring must not be selected by garage-door width, height, material, or appearance alone. The required spring dimensions, torque, door weight, drum configuration, and track system must all be confirmed.

Compatibility & Fitment

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

• .2625-inch wire size
• 2.00-inch inside diameter
• 41-inch unwound coil length
• Right-wind direction
• Required spring torque and IPPT
• 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 toward the door.

However, reverse-wound, rear-torsion, duplex, triplex, high-lift, and other nonstandard systems may use a different spring position. Always confirm the spring’s actual wind direction rather than relying only on its location.

The stated 41-inch length refers only to the unwound spring coils. Do not include either cone when measuring the original spring.

Important Matching Notes

Garage door torsion springs that appear nearly identical can produce substantially different torque.

Before ordering, verify the four primary spring measurements:

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

Also confirm:

• Required IPPT
• Garage-door weight
• Door height
• Number of springs
• Cable-drum model
• Track configuration
• Torsion-shaft size
• Required number of winding turns
• Spring mounting arrangement

Do not select a replacement spring based only on:

• Painted cone or spring markings
• Garage-door width and height
• Overall appearance
• The side where the spring is mounted
• A measurement that includes the cones
• Another door with similar dimensions
• A stretched measurement across the break

When measuring a broken torsion spring, measure the complete coil sections and add those measurements together. Do not include the open gap created when the spring broke.

Do not substitute another wire size or spring length without completing a proper spring-engineering conversion. A spring may physically fit the torsion shaft while still producing unsafe or incorrect torque.

When replacing one spring in a matched two-spring system, replacing both springs is often appropriate because springs installed together generally have similar cycle histories.

What Is Included

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

The following items are not included unless specifically stated:

• Winding bars
• Torsion shaft
• Center bearing
• End bearing plates
• Center spring bracket
• Cable drums
• Lift cables
• Fasteners
• Installation tools

Installation Notes

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

Before installation:

• Close the garage door completely
• Disconnect electrical power to the opener
• Disengage the opener from the garage door
• Secure the door and torsion shaft against unintended movement
• Verify that the spring wind direction is correct
• Inspect the shaft, bearings, center bracket, drums, cables, and bottom fixtures
• Confirm that the lift cables are correctly positioned in the cable drums
• Verify the required number of winding turns for the specific door system

The required winding turns depend on the garage-door height, cable-drum model, track configuration, spring engineering, and other system characteristics. Do not use a generic winding-turn recommendation without confirming the complete assembly.

After installation:

• Confirm that both lift cables have equal tension
• Verify that the cables remain seated in the drum grooves
• Test the garage door manually before reconnecting the opener
• Confirm that the door moves smoothly through its full travel
• Check the door balance at multiple intermediate positions
• Verify that the door does not fall rapidly or rise by itself
• Reconnect and test the garage door opener only after achieving proper mechanical balance
• Test the photoelectric sensors and contact-reversal system

The garage door opener must not be used to compensate for an incorrectly sized, under-wound, over-wound, or improperly installed torsion spring.

Safety Warning

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

Torsion-spring replacement should be completed only by a trained garage-door professional with the correct tools, measurements, and understanding of the complete counterbalance system.

Never:

• Loosen winding-cone set screws without controlling the spring with winding bars
• Use screwdrivers, punches, rebar, socket extensions, or improvised winding tools
• Stand directly in front of the winding cone while winding or unwinding
• Loosen bottom brackets while the cables are under tension
• Install a spring without confirming its dimensions, torque, and wind direction
• Operate a door with loose cables, damaged drums, broken hardware, or poor balance
• Attempt to wind a spring when the correct number of turns is unknown

Stop immediately when the spring specifications, torsion arrangement, drum setup, shaft configuration, or proper installation procedure cannot be positively verified.
