If you buy garage door torsion springs – even in the off season – remember batting averages.
Measure garage door springs using a tape measure, 10-and 20-coil counts. Use the conversion chart at the measurement link.
Express the wire size in terms of a three-digit decimal – .262, for example. Do not measure one coil and use a fraction!
Now the numbers that come in for most residential garage doors are not going to be high for batting averages. But you get the point.
Commercial doors, on the other hand, can yield numbers far higher than the best batter could ever hope to achieve.
