The code for the garage door springs is a color code.
Colored garage door springs help in proper identification for repair, ordering and warehousing purposes.The color codes for garage door springs are based on guidelines and specifications.
The colors of the springs are based on wire gauge sizes.The color of the extension springs is determined by the weight they are designed to counterbalance.One pair of extension springs are identified by a color code and weight rating.
Color codes can be used as a supplemental identification aid.The overhead door manufacturer will give you door weights and spring measurements.
I have a two car garage door that needs extension springs with both ends without connections and will have to install a slide on it.The following are the specifications.
I don't have a way of measuring the weight of the double door.
Most double car doors are between 150-225 lbs and have orange extension springs.
What is the width and height of your door?The most common extension spring length is25′′ relaxed 7ft doors.25′′ springs can be used with cable/pulley/eye bolt adjustments.
The spring broke.The garage door has one spring and is on the right side.The spring is blue, the spring body is black, and the tightening screw is red.The wire size is a little over.25′′ and the overall length is 34′′.My garage door is not insulated.Is this the correct spring for the door?
How long did the original spring last?It's probably the correct spring if you have at least 7 years out of it.The door was counterbalanced correctly to begin with.If you raise the door half way up, it will stay there with 8 full turns.
There is a left wound spring if it is located on the right side of the anchor plate.
You will need to confirm the blue paint identification with a 10-coil count.Measure the distance in inches.IE.2 5/8′′ is the number of the 10 coils.
You can find a link to the spring here.Just be sure to select the length: 34′′.
I own a garage door that is over 500 lbs.I need springs, shaft, motor, and hardware.It was made out of iron.I have been installing garage doors for 8 months and I don't know what to do with them.It was easier to match when I built it.My existing door is 167.
Might be able to create a hardware kit for you.I need to know how thick the door is.
I would recommend the liftmaster model for your door weight.
