Garage Door Spring Sizing

Our garage door spring sizing calculator helps determine torsion spring specifications based on your door weight, height, and desired cycle life. Garage door springs counterbalance the door's weight, making it possible to open manually and reducing strain on the opener motor.

The calculator estimates wire size, spring length, and required torque for your specific door. Proper spring sizing is critical - undersized springs wear out quickly and strain openers, while oversized springs can cause the door to open too quickly or not close properly.

This tool helps homeowners understand spring specifications when ordering replacements. However, garage door spring replacement is extremely dangerous due to the high tension involved. We strongly recommend professional installation unless you have proper training and tools.
