Springs Are Custom Made to Your dimensions

Spring Orientation

The spring shown above is a Right Hand Wound Spring which mounts to the left side of center(Red) End. A spring mounted on the right side of center is left hand wound(black end)Doors that have two springs have both right hand and left hand wound.

STEP 1
Measure The Overall Length Of Your Garage Door Spring--UNWOUND.Take all your measurements from the broken spring. Measure the spring only from coil to coil. Do not include the winding and stationary ends.

STEP 2
Measure the Inside Diameter Of Your Garage Door Spring
It will be one of the following:

1 3/4"
2"
2 1/4"
Raynor Garage Door Springs only

Alternate Method

Look for a number imprinted on the winding end(shown above).

1.75=1 3/4" I.D.
2.00=2" I.D.
If it says Raynor it is a 2 1/4" I.D.


STEP 3
Determine The Wire Size


Measure the length of 10 coils.
Refer to Wire Chart. Example: 10 coils measures 2 1/4" = .225 wire size.

Also Measure the length of 20 Coils
20 Coils measures 4 1/2"=.225 wire size.

To Avoid Having to Repeat The Replacement Process

If your door cycles (opens & Closes) more than 3 times a day, we recommend our High Cycle Option.
An inexpensive upgrade that will double the spring cycle life from 10,000 up to 20,000 cycles.

What is a High Cycle Spring?

A high cycle spring is a re-engineered spring base on your existing spring measurements(See Steps 1 thru 4) creating a DIMENSIONALLY larger spring. A High Cycle spring has the same IPPT(Inch Pounds Per Turn) or torque as the existing spring but has 50% less stress when fully wound, lasting 2X longer. The installation and the number of turns are the same as the existing spring.

(Do not use screwdrivers, socket extensions,Re-Bar or anything else other than correct winding tools)
