Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Original Replacement Spring | TM/TM1
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.
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.
Door Weight
WT or BAL WT refers to the garage door weight. Oftentimes, you may see that this says 0. You can use the specific spring information or the part number to search for each spring.
Left-Hand Spring Info
0.133X40.23 LH is part number 314970 (not shown) and is the Left-Hand spring information.
Right-Hand Spring Info
TM3 or TorqueMaster PLUS
0.137X42.85 RH is Part Number 314973 and is the Right-Hand Spring information.
Part Number
Wayne Dalton only includes the 6-digit part number for the right-hand spring. The left-hand spring info is generally on the top right of the same label. Here you have 0.133X40.23 LH (314970 - Not Shown) 0.137X42.85 RH (314973 - Shown Here)
Shaft Installation Side
This does not refer to any of the spring information. If you have a double spring system, both spring info will be displayed on this label on the lines above.
This is strictly for the original installation, referring to which side of the shaft this is installed on.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 780 reviews.
I have 3 older Wayne Dolton doors i purchased in 2000 when I built my house. The torque master springs do not last long. It is nice that I can still purchase just the TM/TM1 springs after they fail.
Thanks

Knowing nothing about garage doors, it was easy to find and order the parts I needed. Saved me thousands after a local company quoted a complete replacement system. Customer service reached out after I ordered to triple check whether I ordered the right part for my situation. I highly recommend ordering from door-parts!
It was so easy to find exactly what we wanted and Tyler even reached out via phone and email to confirm we were getting exactly what we needed to complete our job. The part arrived very timely and we were able to help our customer get their door working again in no time. A very easy experience, from finding the product, to ordering and to getting our item shipped. Will be using Door-Parts.com again, for sure!
Door springs were exactly what I needed for the repairs of my garage door. Web site was easy to use. They even double checked with me to ensure that I received the correct door springs. Also the door springs came with replacement instructions which was very handy!!
Even though the correct spring was chosen, Tyler reached out to be sure. He noticed it wasn't a common part so he wanted to verify so I got the right part the first time!
Spring arrived in great condition and the support I received from Tyler was fast, informative, and friendly. The spring works great and was very easy to install.
Actually, the pricing was good. Me having to pay restocking fees for a condition that was legitimate and purchase another product from you for the legitimate replacement is lame. Other than that the customer service was good.
I appreciated the email checking to see i I ordered the right spring since I ordered the original style. I got the right one and put my G door back in service.
Customer service was great!
The parts were an exact fit for my door.
The instructions that came with the parts were good, but I also used a couple videos from DDM Garage Doors Inc for more details on how to disassemble/reassemble and adjust everything and how to remove stuck plastic tubes.
Thanks!
Incredible shipping speed! And I appreciate that I was messaged about my order to insure I had the correct model ordered to negate the possibility of a return.
Why pay $600 to have the local guys come out and install the new springs (between their mark up and service fees) IF you can do it yourself. The TorqueMaster system IMO should be the state-of-the-art system for garage door openers! Full stop!
Unless you want or need to feel like "you're getting it done right" and willing to pay hundreds then order direct from Tyler and the boys at Wayne Dalton. These systems were designed to last a lifetime. Mine lasted 25 years until the left spring broke. It took me about two hours to replace the springs and half that time was due to me not reading the instructions all the way through. I now have a garage door that meets the test of (when the power is out) being able to disengage from the track and lift it with 10 pounds of arm strength. Before, with the left spring broken, it was making the Genie motor opener lift 75 to 80 pounds. Not good for older people who more than likely might have these systems. Good job Tyler. Thanks for walking me through the entire process!
Tyler at door-parts.com was extremely helpful. The springs I ordered were for an older winding kit and the ends didn't quite fit (my mistake). Tyler walked me through how to get these springs to work properly with the equipment I had and saved me both a lot of time and money. His help is what made this a five-star experience.
Very impressed with their customer service. I ordered a discontinued part (I have an old garage door). They called me to confirm what I ordered was correct.
Initial spring arrived bent(box showed major deformation too), but received a replacement super quick. Instructions included of little value because they covered the Tm Plus, not original TM.
