When replacing TorqueMaster Springs it is necessary to identify if the door utilizes the original TorqueMaster One, or the newer TorqueMaster Plus spring system.
The easiest way to distinguish these is by visually inspecting the end brackets. ToqueMaster One has a counter and winding fitting to the end, while TorqueMaster Plus has the anti-drop pawl and rachet gear inside the end bracket. You can also determine each type of spring system by looking at the winding shaft on the end of the springs.
The counterbalance weight (e.g. Wt. or Wgt.) on the sticker is the most important when determining the correct spring needed.
The spring's job is to store the mechanical energy from the weight of the door. When this is done correctly the Opener | Operator has to do minimal work. It is best practice to choose springs within 10 pounds of the garage door weight as outside that will cause the motor to work harder than needed to open/close the garage door.

Spring Label Example
These labels/stickers are located on the shaft that the springs are inside. Labels are often Yellow, Blue, or White and may have a slightly different layout than what is seen below.

Very helpful and fast shipping
Fitted perfectly! $200 in parts, 1 hour to fix it be $1200 they asked me to repair
So much easier to replace broken springs on Wayne Daltons torque master spring compared to the torsion springs on regular garage doors. Torque masters are more safer and easier to work on. The orque master springs from doors.com are even cheaper than Amazon even with reasonable fast ups shipping. Install was straight forward with included instructions. Only omission in instructions is where to position the vise grips when winding tension on cables, pls add for future customers. Highly satisfied, would buy again, and would spread the good news and recommend door.com.
Right parts quick shipping and the price was good
All good, arrived as expected.
Good Customer Service.
Extremely helpful. I am so glad you guys walked me through how to select the correct springs. Saved me thousands of dollars.
Shipment was received on scheduled date
I have an abnormally large garage door that is extra heavy for my area. And they did not ship the product until they could confirm the product was correct and not a incorrect purchase which I actually appreciated. They contacted me by phone and confirmed the part number that was on the garage door. I felt like that was going above and beyond what you see out in the market today as far as customer service goes.
Im not the type to return items I ordered, but am the type to judge a vendor on whether or not they offer a return policy. Which im sure this vendor does. However, after having Tyler from this company reach out to me. Asking for a review of the product 1-5 stars. Before I did so, I explained to him my situation. Which im sure was well with the return time frame amd he never responded. So he contacted me for a review, bit when I responded with a potential return, he never replied back. My review is solely based on customer service. Product is still sitting in its original package, untouched. Thanks for the help Tyler.

Easy to find the right parts for my door repair. Fast shipping.
It was great!
Just what I needed!! Fast shipping, and great price!!
Great instructions, easy to install if you've ever used a socket wrench and a power drill.
I was absolutely impressed from start to finish with this company. I don’t typically write reviews but, because of the help that Tyler S. Gave me, I feel compelled to. I didn’t know where to turn because I knew nothing about a Wayne Dalton spring system. I watched a man on YouTube who provided a link to this company and decided to give it a shot. Long story short, I received an email, which I followed up with a phone call to Tyler S., that blew me away. This company saw my order and thought I made a mistake with the weight and wanted to make sure I didn’t order the wrong one! I’ve never heard of a company that cared like that, especially today. Tyler and I talked for almost 1/2 hour about the door spring amongst other things. After hanging up, I knew that this company had my back if there was a problem. I received the spring, followed the directions and it went on with ease, I couldn’t believe it. Thank you for the help Tyler! Excellent company, excellent service, and excellent product!
Great job. Worked as expected.
Our garage door broke unexpectedly. Our house is only 4.5 years old and we never thought the garage door spring would go. Most of our local repair places wouldn't repair Tourque Master systems. I was able to take the spring down on my own and figure out how to repair it. I am a moderate DIYer. It's a reasonable project and probably saved me at least $500 to do it myself. The instructions were even in the shipping box so I didn't need to look them up. Great job!
Great product with the reasonable price
Very detailed ordering and installation instructions! Replaced spring and had door operational in under an hour…. Hardest part was waiting on order to deliver!
Tyler's help was was above and beyond and he obviously know the products. I still didn't care for the restocking charge for the return of the original order, especially when I purchased a retrofit kit to replace obsoleted parts that were the real issue.
Tyler validated the spring recommendations based on the limited information I had on the original Wayne Dalton door and Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Plus Replacement Spring | TMP/TM3 springs. The Door-Parts website informative is very good. Check out the door spring replacement video. Price and delivery was great.
Ordered replacement torque master springs. They shipped the next day and came exactly as advertised! The included instructions were very clear and made the replacement very easy.
The website was extremely informative when choosing the right springs for my garage door. I was able to get the correct spring package, the order arrived on time and the springs work perfectly. I even received an email and call double checking to make sure these were the correct springs. I will definitely be ordering from this company any time I need parts for my garage door.
I was VERY happy to find your site after struggling to unsuccessfully find a supplier near us. I was pleased to find that we could get out new springs very quickly, too.That was the icing on the cake.
It was all good!
Overall best service!
Received parts pronto. Easy to install. Works great.
