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.

Tyler, another time very prompt and helpful assisting me on a second order, since the other garage door spring gave up. On point, and even told which exact order to purchase. Once done speaking with Tyler, the order was shipped right away. Great business and awesome customer service. Will continue recommending & do business with in the future. Thank you.
Great springs, always get exactly what I ordered.
The customer service helped me find the correct part that I couldn't do myself on the website
These springs worked great.
Exactly what was needed
Was a great all around experience, all pros, no cons.
Thank you for your amazing customer service. After I uploaded a couple photos you were able to dial in the exact Springs that I needed. I was a little hesitant on taking on this project after my local garage door guy told me I shouldn't do it on my own and that I should convert my spring system and have it replaced for $800. With your help and support I was able to replace both springs in less than 3 hours and for $120. The garage door is working perfectly once again. Thank you for making this possible for the average DIY'er dad.
Trustworthy website, great purchasing experience.
My experience was just great 😃
Wasn't sure what and/or how to order. Called up and the service rep was very helpful in guiding me through the ordering process. thanks
I had some problems finding and verifying the items I needed. I came across the text messaging assistances who jumped on board and made it happen. They found the items I needed and set me up to include saving me some money by giving me a cheaper second choice that did the same job for me. The items arrived on time at a reasonable price and worked perfectly on my garage door. They also gave me detailed directions on how to install the items/springs. Nice job…… I’ll go back again.
