Clopay EZ-Set Garage Door Parts
Clopay EZ-Set Torsion Springs
Clopay's EZ-Set torsion spring system, which was designed by Ideal Door, uses unique parts. Pictured below is the layout of these garage door parts in a single-spring system.
B: Cable Drums (EZ-DRM-P).
C: End Brackets (EZ-EBP).
D: Left Spring Winder (EZ-WND-L). Also available with heavy-duty Freeway bearing (EZ-WND-LF).
E: Shaft Coupler (EZ-SHCO). Optional: Used with doors having a split shaft.
F: Center Support Bracket (EZ-CBRK). Optional: On double-car garage doors.
G: End Support Bearing (EZ-STNS). Also available with heavy-duty Freeway bearing (EZ-STNF). Garage doors with two torsion springs will instead have a right-side winder (EZ-WND-R), which can also be ordered with a heavy-duty Freeway bearing (EZ-WND-RF).
Not pictured: Winder Cone (EZ-WDCN). This part fits the end of the spring into the winder.
Clopay EZ-Set Extension Springs
Clopay also has an EZ-Set extension spring system. Like the torsion spring system, the EZ-Set extension spring system has its own line of hardware. Rather than winding the springs with a drill, the EZ-Set extension spring winder stretches the extension spring with a drill. This can be done with the garage door closed, which minimizes the risk of property damage and personal injury that comes when trying to lift the door with a broken spring.
The special extension spring streching mechanism, pictured on the right, secures to the track near the fixed pulley at the front of the door. A cable in the stretching unit runs through a pulley attached to the extension spring and travels back to the pully near the stretching unit. It then runs down to the bottom fixture on the garage door. When the stretching unit shortens the cable, it stretches the extension spring, which in turn decreases the weight of the garage door. With both springs stretched the proper length, your garage door should be balanced.
Torsion Springs for EZ-Set Garage Doors

On this page you can also purchase the more common sizes of springs. We carry springs for all the Clopay, Ideal and Holmes models, but only springs for 16' X 7' doors are listed at this time. If your door is a different size, you will need to contact us to place your order. Please provide the width and height of your door. We will also need to know the weight of the door. We determine this from the model number, serial number, or the PID number. If none of those are available, we recommend weighing the door or e-mailing us pictures of the door. |

Many of Clopay's doors have a sticker at the top left end of each section. Included on this sticker is the model number, such as the Model 1000, and the size, 1600 X 700, which is 16' wide by 7' high. |

Ideal Door usually fixes labels on the very end of each section at one end of the door. If the door is part way open, you can see the label below the curved protion of horizontal track or above the horizontal tracks. If the door is closed, look behind the vertical track with a flashlight on both sides of the door to find numbers such as S4RSF, M4RSF, S6RST, M6RST, SDP-38 or MDP-38. |

Most Clopay doors have a sticker at the left or right end of the door, usually on the second section from the bottom, but sometimes the sticker is just above one of the bottom fixtures. Here you will find the serial number, with the door model number embedded in the number. If the sticker also has a PID number, the model number will be embedded in that. To the right you can see a sticker for a Clopay model 4050 garage door. If you provide us with the serial number or PID number we will be happy to determine the model number for you. Many doors with EZ-Set spring systems do not have stickers on them. If you are unable to find any of these numbers on your door, contact us by emailing us or by calling us at (877) 436-9446. |

If you have the model number, and if you have a garage door that is 16 feet wide and 7 feet high, you can order from our shopping using the draw down menu below.
The following explanations should help you understand the descriptions for your springs. The "#" sign follows a number that designates the door weight. The number marked by the "k" designates the cycle life rating in thousands of cycles. The industry standard is 10-15,000 cycles. These usually last six to 10 years. If your door is in good shape, and if you plan to live in your house more years than that, you will benefit from ordering longer life springs. The "LW" and "RW" designate the winds of the springs. Doors weighing 208 pounds or less get one left wind spring for the left side. On the 242 pound doors you will need two springs, a left wind spring for the left side, and a right wind spring for the right side. You can order the springs with cones and spacers or without cones and spacers. Directions for replacing your springs and for removing and reinstalling EZ Set cones are at our Single Ez-Set Torsion Spring Replacement page.
Additionally, in recent months, there has been a rising concern about the type of steel used in springs. For example, Chinese imported steel and springs are often of a lower quality, and therefore more likely to fail prematurely. At DDM Garage Doors, we not only strive to help people figure out how to repair their garage doors, but we also seek to provide the best products for our customers. Therefore, if you purchase a spring from us, you can rest assured that all our springs are made with steel from the United States, thereby guaranteeing the highest quality.
More information is available at our EZ-Set Garage Door Torsion Springs page. If you have additional questions, if you need help determining the model of your garage door, or if you wish to place an order for a spring that is not in the list below, please feel free to email us or call us at (877) 436-9446 to place your order.
