120 LB Heavy Duty Extension Garage Door Spring (2-Pack)

After 21 years and many up and down cycles my garage door springs had stretched to the point that they were no longer able to handle the task of raising the door. These new springs put me back to the door operating like brand new. I adjusted the tension to the point where the door when half way open will remain in that position by itself without trying to go up or down. My doors weigh 116 pounds which makes the green indicator springs (120 lbs) just right. Should be good for another 20 years or more. If you replace them, don't forget the safety cable running through the center in case something comes loose or breaks.

How to determine which door spring to use Internet #313933583 Model #DLEGR120 Store SKU #1005555676 120 LB Heavy Duty Extension Garage Door Spring (2-Pack) DURA-LIFT I have installed Dura-Lift springs on all of my garage doors. They are still working with no problems. I have found that it is relatively safe and easy to install or replace a door spring. Use a carabiner to make connecting one end of the spring easier. See photo. Start by opening the garage door completely, removing as much tension as possible from the springs. Prop the door open or put something in the track to keep the door from closing. Removing a spring may require someone to help hold the spring while you remove any clips or other fastners before replacing the spring. Reverse the process to install. TIP If you can't get someone to help, use a rachet strap tied to the cable and mounting bracket to remove all pressure and to hold everything in place. This springs come coated with what looks like oil but it is there to protect it from corrosion. If you are wondering which size or weight spring to buy for your application? Here are three methods to determine the size. (1) High Level of Difficulty - This should be done carefully to avoid injury. Disconnect all springs and cables so that the door will close freely. The next step you should have someone help lower the door until it rests squarely on a scale. This will give you the weight of the door that you will be trying to lift with the springs. Match the springs as closely as possible to the weight of the door. (2) Medium Level of Difficulty - Measure the eyelet size of the old spring (usually 1-1/4 in.). Measure the length of the spring, in this case it is 25 in. Match the length and size as closely as possible. NOTE: You may need the coil wire diameter, you can measure 20 coils and divde by 20 or use a micrometer. This spring measures ~1/8 in. (3) Low Level of Difficulty - If your old spring has paint on one end, that will usually indicate the load weight. Match that to the same length and color (weight) of the new spring.

The weight will depend on the construction of the door. The color of color code of these springs is green. Two springs are included. There are no installation instructions, and safety cables and brackets must be purchased separately. My old springs had an open looped or clipped end. These springs have a double loop closed end which seems more secure to me and less likely to slip off the hanger bracket. Since the springs are under a lot of tension when the door is closed, I did not reuse the safety cables or any of the hardware off my old springs. The new springs are oily, so I handled them with gloves. If you are unsure about the weight of your garage door, remove the existing springs and lower the door onto a bathroom scale.

Start with the door fully open, block it with a clamp on the track or prop it up with a long 2x4. The old springs attached to the rails with a bolt. I attached the new springs to the rail with a 5/16 bolt through 2/0 x 1 ft. Stainless Steel Twisted Link Chain. I connected the chain to the spring with a QUICK LINK 3/16 SS. The Dura-Lift attached to the pulley the same as the old spring. You'll want to wear vinyl or latex gloves because the springs are greasy.
