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.

Mr.Tyler was a tremendously great helper. He responded quickly to my message questions and walked me through the process of ordering the correct parts online. THANK YOU TYLER!!!
Worked great, awesome instructions
More power!
Installation was easy. These did not fit in the original cuff/protective sleeve inside the bar. Had to cut the bar but that may be a normal thing. Worked great! Thanks for helping my garage come back to life!
I wasn't sure if I had ordered the correct parts, so I emailed support to confirm. When parts arrived, they were exactly what I needed to replace my current broken coils. Couldn't be happier with the pricing and customer services. My garage door is now working better than before. It rolls up and down smoothly and is not as loud as before.
Great shipping speed! I can fix the garage door on next day! Thanks a lot!
Awesome product! Fast shipping
Very helpful through the entire process. Thought I knew which spring I needed, but I contacted them to confirm which they did. Their price is incredible. Instructions are clear saved over $500 by doing it myself. Not at all difficult. I will be buying more parts from them.
I had a Wayne Dalton spring break inside the tube. The customer service team called me back after my online order to confirm my spring, and as they suspected, I had ordered the older version of the spring I needed. The correct spring was a few bucks cheaper, and even though I told them I don’t care about the price difference, they refunded me the price difference and sent the correct spring. Everything fit perfectly and my door is back working perfectly. Thank you so much.
Works great!
You could store previous order? Not sure it would have helped but 2 doors same mechanisms. I ordered same part.
Parts were delivered as scheduled. Instructions were included, follow up on the order was meticulous.
Good service
Had the exact OEM parts needed to fix door. Fast shipping and door was repaired in minutes with simple hand tools and a little know how. Watched one how to video just to see a sneak peek of what was involved. Door parts got me back in the garage in just a few days with the fast shipping!
The product came quickly and was reasonably priced. Installation instructions were acurate.
Perfekt
The spring arrived on time and in new condition. The instruction sheet took any guesswork out of how to install. I now have a functional garage door and it was 1/10th the price of what the pro wanted to convert to traditional torsion spring. Got 10 years of usage out of the original spring, hopefully will get same out of this replacement.
Everything was great
A +
Arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Right parts, decent instructions, good price. Made a first time garage door repair easy with great results.
Great prices and selection on my parts for my Wayne Dalton garage door.
Happy with the product.
Tyler from Customer Service is a great guy
Worked well. Only one spring broken but replaced both for stability and length of use.
Part was in stock and shipped fast. I was able to get my garage door fixed and back in service!
Shipping was fast, parts on website are clearly labeled
So happy they could help determine what I needed to get the job done. Definetly recommend these folks.
Prima produkt en goede service
Everything was great, really easy to install and the parts fir just right
The help service got me exactly what I needed. After watching a couple of YouTube videos, I was able to master put in the springs in. I did my research and realized they were the cheapest. If you guys wanna improve, I suggest more advertisement lol
perfect replacement
amazing service, everything worked perfectly
Courteous , while dealing with customers . Delivered springs before time. Though I am not a professional, followed instructions sent along with springs and successfully installed as DIY project, on 4-14-2025. But I am not an expert to mention on the quality of springs. However I honestly recommend DOOR-PARTS to others who are looking for springs.
Great experience with this process. Easy to order, good price and easy to install.
Very easy to do business with. Relatively easy to find what I needed and the shipping was much faster than I expected. It even arrived one day earlier than projected. This saved me a lot of money!
Super Service 👍👍👍😃 Ich war sehr zufrieden mit dem Service! Die Beratung und die Empfehlung für die Feder waren genau richtig! Und eine super schnelle Lieferung bis nach Deutschland! Super 👍👍👍

Store owner replied: Thank you for the feedback Frank! "I was very satisfied with the service! The advice and the recommendation for the spring were spot on! And the delivery to Germany was super fast."
The product details, shipping time all good, I have installed the spring let see how it works, product price and shipping was little higher, but I prefer the recommendation of AI tools (ChatGPT, CoPilot, Gemini) I use.
mckcjck
include OEM part numbers for all that apply
Website was easy to navigate, pricing was way better and product arrived on time, I would definitely recommend and would buy again if needed.
