Gold Springs, Inc. has been manufacturing Torsion Springs for over 20 years. We manufacture specifically for the garage door industry from our factory.
Buying garage door torsion springs at Gold Springs, we can help make overhead garage door repairs even easier with our full line of torsion springs. We have in-stock, standard or high-cycle, precision manufactured garage door torsion springs in a multitude of sizes and materials types for anyone looking to repair/replace their garage door springs. Did you know that torsion springs account for over 95% of the lift that is needed to raise a garage door? Because of this continual stress, torsion springs typically only last for 12,000- 15,000 cycles from the original door producer.
With our easy-to-use torsion spring selection tool below, you can find the spring you need quickly and/or accurately upgrade to a spring with more cycles.
This information also will help you or determine which spring(s) will allow you to upgrade to additional cycles and more years of safe, dependable and well-balanced operation.
- Torsion springs must be measured while unwound or in a relaxed state or your dimensions will be incorrect.
- To match your previous size exactly, you will need to measure the wire size, the inside diameter, and the length.
- The length doesn’t have to be completely precise (anything within a half inch will be fine)
- The wire size and inside diameter are critical, this is where most mistakes are made
- The number of turns is based on the height of the door and the size cable drums that you have (the rule for 7′ doors is 7.5 turns and 8′ doors is 8.5 turns and adjust from there)
- The direction of the wind on the spring is opposite the side that it goes on (ex: the left wound spring is installed on the right hand side of the door, as your standing inside your garage looking out)
