  1. Identify the Correct Torsion Spring
    To ensure safety and functionality, it’s critical to use a torsion spring that matches your garage door’s specifications. The wire diameter, inner diameter, and length must align with the original spring.

    Tip: Our Garage Door Torsion Springs come in a variety of sizes, making it easy to find the perfect fit for most garage doors.

  2. Secure the Garage Door
    Disconnect the garage door opener and lock the door in place to prevent accidental movement during installation.
  3. Remove the Old Torsion Spring
    Carefully unwind the old spring using winding bars to release tension. Then, remove it from the torsion tube.
  4. Install the New Torsion Spring
    • Attach the new spring to the torsion tube.
    • Wind the spring using non-slip winding bars, following the manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Test the Door
    Reconnect the opener and test the door’s balance and movement to ensure the spring is properly installed.
