Determining the correct spring for your door can be done one of several ways.
1 - Extension springs are color coated, see the chart below and order accordingly.
2 – Measure the existing spring. Measurements required are: length of spring (spring only, not the clips or loops at the ends of the spring) ID – Inside diameter of the spring. And WIRE diameter, this is the measurement of the actual wire of the spring. This is best done with a caliper but can be accomplished with a tape measure and the chart below. We will also need to know the door height and width.
3 - Weigh the door.
For a single car door place a bath scale in the center of the opening, remove all spring tension from the door and lower the door onto the scale. For a double door use two bath scales, a foot in from each side of the opening. Over time doors pick up weight, paint and moisture can add significantly to the overall weight of the door, weighing the door is the ONLY way to be positive of the proper springs required. However, great care must be taken when weighing the door. Total door weight indicates the springs you will need, for example, if the door weighs 100 pounds, you need two 100 pound springs, one on each side. When using two scales, add the weights together for the total door weight.
DOOR MUST BE IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION TO REMOVE THE TENSION.
RAISE DOOR & PUT VISE GRIPS ON THE TRACK UNDER THE BOTTOM ROLLERS (BOTH SIDES OF THE DOOR) – REMOVE SPRING TENSION. ON A SINGLE CAR DOOR TWO PEOPLE CAN LOWER THE DOOR ONTO THE SCALE – TWO CAR DOORS WILL REQUIRE COME ALONGS TO LOWER THE DOOR – ONE ON EACH SIDE.
BEWARE OF PINCH POINTS WHEN LOWERING DOOR ONTO SCALE.
