Learn the exact measurements you need for torsion springs, including length, wire size, inside diameter, and wind direction. Accurate measurements help ensure the right fit and safer operation.

Match your door weight and spring color code to the correct extension spring rating. This guide explains how to select replacement extension springs with better confidence.

EZ-Set springs require the correct system type, size, color/name, coil length, and wind direction. This guide helps you compare your old EZ-Set spring to the right replacement.
