These garage door torsion springs are made to the size your door needs and sold as a pair: one left wind and one right wind. Torsion springs are mounted on the shaft above the door and do most of the lifting, so the right size is what keeps the door balanced.
How to order the right size
- Inside diameter: 1-3/4" or 2" (most residential doors).
- Wire size: measure 10 or 20 coils and use our chart (0.192" to 0.283").
- Length: the coils only, with no tension (16" to 60").
Step-by-step: how to measure a garage door torsion spring. Please don't guess: the wrong springs won't balance the door and can cause damage or injury. Only need one? Order a left wind or right wind spring. Raynor doors use a different size: see Raynor torsion springs.
Last 50% longer upgrade
Factory springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles. If the door is used more than once or twice a day, choose the “last 50% longer” upgrade: the same size spring, made with a patented hardening process and powder coated, so it lasts 50% longer. Because the size doesn’t change, the door stays balanced exactly as with a standard spring.
What's included
Two torsion springs (left and right) with winding and stationary cones installed, and a plastic center bushing. A steel center bushing is available. Worn cables? Replace them at the same time: torsion spring cables.
Safety: torsion springs hold enough force to cause serious injury. Professional installation is recommended. Never work on springs without the right winding bars, and release all tension before removing any part.

There are two ways to get the correct torsion springs for a garage door. Method one requires you to measure the garage doors existing springs. Use this method if the door worked properly before the springs broke and the garage door has not been altered. Method two requires you to measure and weigh the garage door. Use this method if the garage door does not balance correctly, the garage door has been altered or you think the garage door has the wrong springs.
