GARAGE DOOR TORSION SPRINGS - 1 LH Wound + 1 RH Wound Spring

SPRINGS ARE MADE IN USA

NOTE: I BOUGHT BUT NEVER INSTALL. WHAT YOU ARE BUYING IS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES

DETAILED MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS:
All measurements must be taken from UNWOUND SPRINGS
Wound springs will give false measurements
 
Step 1 - Spring Length Measure the entire length of the spring. This measurement is to include all coils of the spring. If your spring is broken, measure both pieces of the spring in their entirety. If the spring is deformed to the point that an accurate length cannot be determined, count the total number of coils of the UNWOUND spring. Multiply wire diameter by total coils and this is the length.

Step 2 - Inside Diameter or I.D. is measured from the end of the spring. I.D. is measurement between the spring coils. This measurement can be taken with a tape measure or a caliper. On a residential door this measurement will typically be 1-3/4", 2", 2-1/4" or 2-5/8". Note: the spring I.D. may also be stamped on the spring fitting. Example: 175=1-3/4", 200=2", 225 = 2-1/4"or 263=2-5/8".

Step 3 - Wire Diameter This is the measurement of the thickness of one coil of the spring. There are several ways to measure wire diameter. Caliper, micrometer, tape measure and wire gauge. Tape Measure - When using a tape measure to measure wire size you count a specific number of coils and convert that measurement to a decimal. Use our chart below and count 20 coils. This measurement, expressed in a decimal, is the wire diameter.

Measure 20 coils.  Use conversion below.

4 1/8" = .207

4 3/8" = .218

4 1/2" = .225

4 5/8" = .234

4 7/8" = .243

5"       = .250

Step 4 - Determine Right or Left Hand Wound Compare your spring to the images above and determine right or left hand wind. NOTE: This is not what side of the door the spring is on, it is what way the spring is WOUND. Look at your spring from the end of the spring, then look at the images above, LH Wound is on the left, RH Wound is on the right. We are refering to the photo's at the top of the listing captioned Inside Dia.

NOTE: WHEN ORDERING A PAIR, YOU WILL RECEIVE ONE LH & ONE RH WOUND SPRING.

When installing the new springs, insure that you are matching the winding of the new springs to the existing springs.
