Replacing Garage Door Torsion SpringsA Garage Door Torsion Spring is the mechanism by which your garage door is opened when the remote button is pressed. If you look at the metal shaft which is placed of the ceiling of your garage you will see these springs. Above the center of the door frame there is a stationary plate. The springs are attached at one end to this plate. Extending along the shaft, these springs twist when the garage door closes. As they twist, the garage door closes through the use of cables on either side of the garage door's lowest panel. The tension which is created as a result of this action makes it easier for the garage door to lift when needed. Replacement of these items may be dangerous so you may wish to hire a professional to handle this repair. When purchasing these springs remember you will need to purchase a left wind and a right wind spring. It is always best to replace both springs even if only one is worn out as they will work better together by doing so. Also, you will need to determine which size wire to purchase. Sizes range from .192 up to .262. You will need to know the length of the spring as well as the inside diameter. For a Garage Door Torsion Tension Spring Star Door Parts offers the 1.75" X .192 X 23.5" left or right wind spring. You can purchase these each at $26.99. These torsion springs are coated and oil tempered. In addition they come with winding and anchor codes pre-installed. For a 2" X.207 X 19" spring, either right or left wind, the price will be approximately $32.99. You may also wish to purchase a pair of winding bars, part number 575, 1/2" to 7/16" machined 18" long for an additional $12.99 as well as a lifetime warranty for only $9.99. Those options are both up to you yet will make your life easier in the long run. Wayne Dalton also carries a line of garage door torsion springs you may wish to consider. The 17519223R torsion sprint here will cost you $24.99 and the corresponding left hand spring will be the same price. When purchasing these springs also check out other items which are offered including cables, keypads, garage door remotes and safety beams. Have your garage door running like new with the purchase of these accessories. This is definitely less expensive than buying a whole new garage door opener system and will save you on installation also. |
