WARNING - Garage door springs, cables, brackets, and other hardware attached to the springs are under very high tension and, if handled improperly, can cause serious injury. Only a qualified professional or a mechanically experienced person should adjust them, but only by carefully following the manufacturer's instructions.

EXTENSION SPRINGS

Ordering Extension Springs for your residential garage door is easy if you have the correct height and weight of your garage door. Use the following guide to obtain the correct information, then call us at 866-901-1600 and we will ship your spring the same day as long as your order is placed before 1pm EST. You must call to order your springs, they cannot be ordered online.

1. The weight an extension spring can support is determined by the color code at the end of the spring.

2. Measure the garage door height. Standard height is usually 6' 6" or 7'. If your door is more than 7' call us at 866-901-1600.

If you cannot determine the color code on your spring it will be necessary for you to weigh your garage door. The following method is usually the easiest for most residential garage doors.

1. Raise door completely. Disconnect power and lifting arm of garage door opener.

2. Fasten "C" clamps or vice grips under bottom rollers to retain door. With tension completely off extension springs, disconnect springs from track support.

3. Remove "C" clamps or vice grips and lower door by hand. Note that entire weight of door, which could exceed several hundred pounds, has to be lowered slowly by hand so more than one person is needed.

4. Set bathroom scale to zero and place under center of door and record door weight.

5. If door weight exceeds capacity of the scale, use 2 bathroom scales. Add a 2 x 4 with one end on one scale and the other on a second scale with the door perpendicular to the 2 x 4. Add the respective weight from each scale together to get the total weight of the garage door
