Garage Door Torsion Spring .243 Wire Size X 2.00"

Torsion Springs

Torsion springs use stored mechanical energy to tighten and twist, creating a natural force that propels your garage door when you lift and close it. They are above the garage door. These springs are simple and cost-efficient, though they require periodic servicing and replacement as they encounter changing weather conditions and cycle life. They will also need lubrication or replacement if they begin squeaking or loosening. When choosing a torsion spring replacement for a garage, make sure it can exert enough force to offset the door’s weight. It is very important to obtain the weight of the door for proper function. You can use a home scale to weigh the door if needed. Just place the scale under the center of the door to get the weight, then give us the door size (width and height) and we calculate the proper size spring needed for replacement.

Choose the Correct Size:

Measure 20 coils to determine spring wire gauge. Please measure the wire diameter, outer diameter and length of the spring when the spring is not stressed.
