Inside Diameter - The inside diameter may be embossed on the winding cone. If not, carefully measure the diameter from inside wire to inside wire.
Wire Size - Measure the length of 20 coils in Inches. Divide the length by 20. The result will be your coil size. Double check using the color code chart below.
Example: 5 Inches/20 Coils = .250 Wire Size
Length - With the spring unwound, measure the full length (wire only) from first coil to last coil to the nearest inch.
Torsion springs are the most common counterbalance system and used on the majority of garage door brands.
Most customers purchase the exact replacement springs on their door.
It is best practice to replace both springs if you have two springs. If one spring has broken the other will likely break soon as well.

exactly what I needed. Arrived before even getting a reply from a garage door company
Great fit, my OEM spring broke and I did a YouTube search on how springs are replaced and a link to your store was there. I did the job myself and the spring works great 👍
Ordered my garage door spring and what I thought was the correct tool for the job. They promptly called me about my order and let me know the tool I purchased was not designed for my spring but refunded me for that tool and made sure I got the correct one. Thanks for the quick correction on my order and getting me what I needed!
I replaced my torsion springs for the first time and it was an easy process after carefully following safety guidelines and instructions. Thankfully, you shipped the springs out very quickly, so I was able to get the job completed with minimal downtime.
would be great if you have conversion tools to let DIYers know what radius/length/thickness we can use to replace a default .243/34" residential spring.
