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.

The parts and the instructions were spot on and I was able to fix my garage door in a timely matter and avoid a big bill
Easy replacement and a very useful instructions were included. It was my first time replacing the garage door springs and it was very useful that website suggested the other side spring since I wasn't sure how many the garage door needs.
Owner was very helpful. Easy to install took me 2-3 hrs. YouTube videos he sent was essential.
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 was given an expected delivery date of a Saturday for the spring but it was delivered early on a Friday. I installed it the same day and it’s working great so far.
I would like to recognize Tyler for taking the time to walk me through about the product. Tyler's patience, knowledge and willingness to help made the process more easier to understand. Truly appreciate the support and guidance. More power, all the best!!!

Store owner replied: Now this is the viral unboxing video we like to see! We love it. We officially crown you as the neighborhood TorqueMaster Master! 👑
Overall such a good experience! They work perfectly.
Springs are good so far.
Thank you for the help. You shipped quickly and website is good. My package made it within 5 miles of my house then ups decided to take it on a detour through Nevada. Took an extra week to get to me but I installed it the same afternoon. I will be using you again in the future
No issues with any part of transaction very easy install with clear instructions included. Fixed issue with the door and old spring was definitely broken a few inches away from the end piece.
The springs were as described and are working great!!
Great product exactly fit with directions how to install springs.
Exactly what we needed at a great price!

Great experience overall. I'm very happy with the prices and shipping time. These parts, along with the easy to follow instructions that were included, saved me quite a bit of money. 10/10 would recommend!
Put in door model and spring model… came up with what I needed. Got here in a couple days and changed out my springs at my house and garage door is good as new
Exactly what I needed for lowest price
Best place to buy quality parts.
Parts were a perfect fit and shipped immediately. Thank you for making the job possible!
So happy to be able to only buy the side we needed for a great price.
You could add a W. D. Part number reference, along with the coiling direction X coil dia. X wire thickness X length listing. 1 number verses 4 parameters makes sense. What info you do have informed me that the WD dealer in Spokane Washington installed the wrong right hand spring, and was overtight, which contributed to its short 2 year lifespan. Thanks. Your shipment came a day early 😳. I had your new spring pair installed in 2 hours after delivery. 😄
It fits perfectly. Replacing it takes some time, but the job is simple and definitely worth the savings if you do it yourself.
Tyler got me the exact springs I needed by just providing the sticker information on my garage over the phone. Shipping was easy. Tyler was also a great help, providing me with some helpful tips and tricks for the install I did myself.
All around good experience. Ordering was easy, new springs arrived quickly, and best of all, they fit. Door is working like new.
Replace this one preventatively while replacing the broken right hand spring.
