✅ Smooth & Balanced Operation – Ensures consistent, quiet door performance.
✅ Durable Galvanized Finish – Rust-resistant coating for long-lasting reliability.
✅ Multiple Sizes Available – Compatible with a wide range of residential garage doors.
📏 How to Measure Your EZ-Set Torsion Spring
Before ordering, you’ll need three key measurements:
| Step | What to Measure | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | Wire Diameter | Use a caliper or measure 20 or 40 coils and compare to the chart below. |
| 2️⃣ | Inside Diameter (ID) | Usually printed on the winding cone (commonly 1.75" or 2"). |
| 3️⃣ | Spring Length | Measure the relaxed length of the spring (do not stretch). |
🧮 Wire Size Measurement Guide
| Coils Measured | Length (inches) | Wire Size |
|---|---|---|
| 20 coils | 3.53" | .177 |
| 20 coils | 3.84" | .192 |
| 20 coils | 4.14" | .207 |
| 20 coils | 4.38" | .2187 |
| 20 coils | 4.50" | .225 |
| 20 coils | 4.68" | .234 |
Tip: The more coils you measure, the more accurate your result.
For best results, measure 40 coils and divide by 40 to find the wire diameter.
🔄 How to Identify Left-Wound vs. Right-Wound Springs
It’s crucial to order the correct wind direction:
| Type | Wire Direction | Location on Door | Cone Color |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left-Wound | Ends point up and to the right | Mounted on the Left side | Black |
| Right-Wound | Ends point up and to the left | Mounted on the Right side | Left |
