See our How to Convert from One Garage Door Spring to Two page for more information regarding the spring conversion process.

Caution: When converting to two springs, make sure that your shaft is long enough to support both springs, the cones (about 5") and the growth of one coil for each turn of tension applied to each spring.

Note: the lift and cycle life information contained in this database applies only to standard lift garage doors with 4" diameter cable drums.

Note: The inside diameter for these springs is two inches. The spring options given are based on original door weights. Hurricane bracing, decorative hardware, and other additions to the door may alter the door weight, rendering the suggested springs unuseable.

How to Order Precut Springs

Order By Door Weight.
On the bottom this page you will find matched pairs of garage door torsion springs for 7 foot high doors weighing from 150 to 260 pounds. They are listed by the door weight both springs pull on 4" drums to balance the door. If you don't know the door weight, you can order by springs dimensions or door model number and size under tabs to the left.

If you have carefully determined your door weight, and if your door is seven feet high with standard 4" diameter cable drums, select the springs you need based on door weight below.

Please bear in mind that most manfacturers, service companies and installing door companies use a 10 to 20 pound window to spring their doors.

We under-spring the door so that with the proper amount of tension the door will stay open or closed with the correct number of turns on the springs.

CAUTION! If you over-spring the door, if the springs are too strong, if we install 200 pound lift springs on a 180 pound door, for example, the door will stay open when the springs are properly wound, but it won't stay on the floor when closed. Removing some of the tension will allow the door to stay closed, but when the door is opened, the cables usually come off the drums and get tangled on the torsion assembly. This sometimes resullts in a half day job getting the cables back on the drums.
If you order precuts, be sure you order springs that lift less than the door weighs. For example, on a 200 pound, order springs that lift 180 to 200 pounds. More information is on our helful blog entitled A Balanced Garage Door.

Order By Spring Dimensions.

The spring specials are for pairs of the more common two inch ID springs with wire sizes ranging from .207 through .234.

• If you don't have two inch ID springs you can convert your 1 3/4" or 2 1/4" ID springs to two inch by following the "How To Convert Inside Diameters" link above.
• You can also determine the springs you need by following the "Model Number" Tab or the "Find by Door Weight" tab.
• If you have only one spring you can follow the "Convert from One to Two" tab.
• If you have unmatched springs, you can click the "Find a Matching Pair" tab.
• If you have carefully measured both springs including the unwound lengths, and if you are certain of the springs you need, select springs that will work for you.

Please bear in mind that most manfacturers and installing door companies use a 10 to 20 pound window to spring their doors. Let's supose you have a pair of 2" .207 20.5" springs. On 7' high doors with 12" radius tracks these normally lift about 175 pounds. You could use the .207 21 1/2" springs which lift 166 pounds. This will balance the door within 10 pounds, which is an acceptable range in the garage door industry.

Cycle Life. When you click the part numbers in orange you will also notice the cycle life, the number of times a door opens and closes. The cycles listed are based on historic industry software. Samples of the precuts listed below have been tested to last up to 30% longer than the industry standard. As we conduct further tests, we may adjust the number of cycles for the various springs.

For some of the door weights we list a second spring. You will notice that the larger springs have a longer cycle life. The better value is in the standard cycle life, but the longer life springs may be a better choice if you plan to live in your home more than eight years. As the spring cycle life increase, the cost per cycle decreases. For customers in their thirties and forties who plan to live in the same home for the rest of their lives, we often get orders for springs rated at more than 80,000 cycles. You'll find these on our Standard Garage Door Torsion Springs page.
