You can also determine the door weight using an analog scale. If you know your door worked fine in the past this was probably not a problem. Also, bear in mind that when new doors are installed, sometimes the wrong spring tubes are installed on the door. Round numbers such as 150, 200 or 225 are not reliable weights. The more accurate weights are expressed with two decimal points, such as 125.46 pounds. The best way to determine the door weight is by checking the sticker on the tube. Measure the width of your door, the distance from the right to the left side, and measure the height of your door, the distance from the floor to the top of the door. The best way to determine the width and height is with a tape measure. You will also need to determine the door width and height. The first option for ordering TorqueMaster springs is to order by door weight. The number of turns is determined by marking the socket and counting as the spring is wound.Īfter you determine the type of winder you have, you can decide whether you would like to order springs by door dimensions and weight, door model number and size, or by the tube number. The newer TorqueMaster II plus system uses a ratcheting system and the springs are wound with a 5/8" socket wrench. The original TorqueMaster system uses gears, they are wound with a drill and a 7/16" socket or nut driver, and there is a round wheel with numbers from zero to 20 that records the number of turns on the springs. The difference between the two systems is determined by examining the winder. If your garage door is newer, you may have the TorqueMaster II Plus system. If your torsion springs were installed prior to 1997, you have the original standard TorqueMaster One springs. The most critical information you need to determine is whether you have the TorqueMaster One Original system or the TorqueMaster II Plus system. You may need help for part of the process.
