Identify the specific variety of spring you will need to buy.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the type of door springs you have, the next step is to measure the springs, weigh the door, or use an ID number to identify the springs or type of door you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-measuring-springs\"><strong>Measuring springs.<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend measuring the standard residential torsion springs, self-storage roll-up door springs, standard commercial and industrial torsion springs, as well as the steel rolling door torsion springs. The only way to order springs for one-piece garage doors is by measuring them. You can find instructions for measuring springs on our <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/springs\/one-piece-garage-door-extension-springs.php\">One-Piece Garage Door Extension Springs<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Measure Garage Door Torsion Springs\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CjW4vAMmyv8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This video explains how to measure garage door torsion springs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weighing-the-door\"><strong>Weighing the Door.<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many do-it-yourselfers prefer to weigh their garage door, and that is often the only way to determine the springs you need. Therefore, this method works with sectional doors with standard, EZ Set, TorqueMaster or extension springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/how-to-weigh-a-garage-door.jpg\" alt=\"Snapshot of the door being weighed on an analog scale\" class=\"wp-image-2940\" style=\"width:333px;height:217px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Sometimes the best way to buy a spring is to<\/strong><br><strong> weigh the door and measure its width and height.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/how-to-weigh-garage-door.php\">weigh a garage door<\/a>. Firstly, if you have standard torsion springs, you can usually insert a bar into the cone of the unbroken spring and backwind the spring as we show in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6YYSm1_4k0o\">How to Weigh a Garage Door<\/a> YouTube video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to weigh a door is to raise the door and slide the scale underneath. If the springs are still tensioned, the cables will need to be vise-gripped to allow the full weight of the door to rest on the scale. In particular, our YouTube video titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2BTqq0-GFJg&amp;t=\">How To Weigh a Garage Door<\/a> shows how to do this. This method is helpful for normal residential and commercial sectional doors with torsion or extension springs, Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster systems, and doors with the EZ Set spring system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-identify-the-door-or-springs\"><strong>Identify the Door or Springs.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is neither convenient nor possible to measure the springs or weigh the door, a third option is to use the ID numbers that some manufacturers provide. You can find more detailed information about garage door IDs on our blog post titled <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/28\/how-to-identify-doors-by-model-number-serial-number-and-pid-numbers\/\">&#8220;How to Identify Doors by Model Number, Serial Number, and PID Numbers.&#8221;<\/a> This is especially helpful for the Clopay, Holmes, and Ideal garage doors. Additionally, Wayne Dalton doors usually identify the springs on labels stuck to the outside of the tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/springs\/wayne-dalton-torquemaster-torsion-springs.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wayne-dalton-springid-number-1024x644.jpg\" alt=\"Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Spring Identification sticker\" class=\"wp-image-2941\" style=\"width:359px;height:225px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wayne-dalton-springid-number-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wayne-dalton-springid-number-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wayne-dalton-springid-number-768x483.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wayne-dalton-springid-number.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Spring Identification<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Raynor doors also often have metal tags that identify their springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/raynor-spring-tag.jpg\" alt=\"Image showing Raynor torsion spring with a metal tag identifying it\" class=\"wp-image-2942\" style=\"width:362px;height:272px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/raynor-spring-tag.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/raynor-spring-tag-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/raynor-spring-tag-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Raynor torsion springs usually have metal tags to identify the springs.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The metal tag usually begins with the door serial number, which in this photo is 898185.
