First, make sure that you have the hardware assembly contained in this tutorial before you follow these instructions. We also have a <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/2023\/11\/22\/torsion-spring-replacement-instructions-2-page\/\">printable version<\/a> if you prefer paper to digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the steps contained in this tutorial may prove helpful. However, other parts may give dangerous, inaccurate directions, which could cost you a lot of time and money should you attempt to replace the springs. As always, one needs to exercise caution with this process. Many parts could cause damage or injury if the proper amount of caution is not used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a single torsion spring setup and not the two spring setup, please follow our <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/single-tsreplacement.php\">Single Torsion Spring Replacement tutorial<\/a> instead. If winding your springs with winding bars is a cause for concern for you, you may also want to check out our &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NmuwoH_CFuk\">How to Install an S3 Winder and Torsion Springs<\/a>&#8221; video for a safer way to install the springs.

The main difference is that these springs often have a much bigger <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/31\/torsion-spring-inside-diameter-converter\/\">inside diameter<\/a>, allowing them to lift heavier doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some of these springs will be duplex or triplex systems. These systems have a spring inside of another spring that helps to lift the weight of the door. These setups enable the spring to fit within the width of the door. This can be a problem with heavier doors, which typically need longer springs due to their torque rating. If you have duplex springs on your door, follow our <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/replace-duplex-springs.php\">Commercial Overhead Door Duplex Torsion Spring Replacement<\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have some PDF instructions for large springs that provide useful diagrams to help you during replacement and installment.

They further eliminate some of the risks by enclosing the springs in a tube over the door. There are two types TorqueMaster springs: TorqueMaster I springs, which are wound with an electric drill with a 7\/16&#8243; socket. These have round winding cones. TorqueMaster Plus springs have hexagonal cones, and they are wound with a 5\/8&#8243; socket and socket wrench.
