Garage Door Torsion Spring Prices

Garage Door Torsion Springs are normally centered above the garage door on a one inch shaft. At one end of the spring is the winding cone that is secured to the shaft with set screws. At the other end of the spring is the stationary cone. This is secured to the spring anchor bracket, which is secured to the header. On two-spring assemblies the stationary cones of both springs are mounted back to back to the spring anchor bracket. The shaft running through the springs transfers tension from the springs to the cable drums at the end of the shaft. These drums pull on the cables, which pull on the bottom of the door to balance the weight of the garage door.

Our database below is based on garage doors utilizing 4" diameter cable drums with 12.6" circumferences on the flat portion. The most common 4" cable drums are marked with the following identifying numbers: WD-4, WD-4X, 400-8, 400-9, OMI-8, DNS-4X-8, D400-96, 1000, 1001.

This database includes prices, lifts and cycles for garage door torsion springs with 1 3/4", 2" and 2 1/4" inside diameters. Raynor springs often measure to be 2 1/8" or 2 3/16" but you will need to order them as 2 1/4". Do not order 2 1/4" ID springs unless you have a Raynor Garage Door because there may be hardware compatibility problems.

All the residential torsion springs we provide are wound with 1/2" rods, usually 18 inches. You can buy 1/2" X 36" rod at almost any hardware store and cut one in half. If you would like for us to include a pair of winding rods in the order you can follow the links at our garage door tools page.

Clopay and Ideal make EZ-Set springs that wind with a drill. These springs are specially gapped and they are made differently from the springs in our database program. If you have EZ-Set Springs go to our EZ-Set Garage Door Torsion Springs page for more information. These springs can not be purchased on this page. If you have a 16 X 7 garage door you can order springs for EZ Set Systems on our Clopay EZ-Set Garage Door Parts page. However, if your door is a different size, or if you live along the coast and your door is wind rated, you will need to call or e-mail us to order springs.

Garage door torsion springs on larger sectional and rolling steel doors come with many additional inside diameters. For information and prices visit our Commercial Torsion Spring Prices page.

If you are ordering two inch inside diameter springs without cones let us know in the comment section if you have Overhead Door cones. We don't recommend reusing the cones because of the inconsistent hole sizes for the winding bars. If you want to order the spring without cones the ends of the spring need to be bent up to fit in the clips pictured below. The clip keeps the spring from spinning off the cone. Standard cones screw into the spring and are held in place by friction.

In addition to this, let us know if you are ordering two inch inside diameter springs with cones installed to replace the older style Overhead Door cones. You'll notice below that standard cones are wider where the bolts pass through them. The one inch bolts used in the older Overhead Door brackets are not long enough to secure the cones to the bracket. We will provide longer bolts and wider flange nuts at no charge to help with your project.

There are three ways to search the more than 6,000 residential garage door torsion springs in our database:

1. If you know your spring dimensions, enter the information using the pull-down menus below. Enter the length of your torsion springs to the nearest quarter inch in decimal equivalents, e.g., 27, 27.25, 27.5, 27.75, or 28, and then click "Go!"
2. If you know the weight of your garage door, search the database by selecting the appropriate lift for each torsion spring based on door height and spring inside diameter. Do not rely on door weight calculators for calculating garage door weight.
3. If you would like to browse the database by wire size, select the appropriate door height and inside diameter.

If you can't find your spring in the database it is probably because it is overstressed for your door height. Many manufacturers and installing garage door companies are cutting corners and installing garage door springs with cycle lives that fall below the 10,000-cycle industry standard.

You may be able to find your overstressed spring by searching for it in the 6'6" door height list. If you can't find it there contact us. We will find their torque ratings and recommend suitable higher cycle replacements. We may also ask questions about your garage door to make sure your measurements are correct. We will sell springs rated below the 10,000-cycle minimum, but we will not accept returns on any of these springs.

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 of a lower quality, and therefore much more brittle than other sources. At DDM Garage Doors, we make it our primary concern to not only help people figure out how to repair their garage doors, but also to provide excellent 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 a higher quality than that of many of our competitors.
