How to Order the Right TorqueMaster Spring by Wire Size (No Measuring Needed)

If you’re replacing a TorqueMaster spring, don’t worry — this process is way easier than most people think. You don’t need to measure anything. You don’t need special tools. You just need a few numbers off the spring tube label, and we’ll match you with the exact replacement spring.

Here’s how it works, step-by-step.

Step 1: Identify Which TorqueMaster System You Have:

First, take a look at the end of your spring tube, where it connects to the bracket on the side of the door. You're looking for one of two setups:

Option 1 — TorqueMaster Plus (TM3 or TMP):
If you can see a winding cone sticking out the end of the bracket, that means you’ve got a TorqueMaster Plus system. The spring label on the tube should say TM3 or TMP.

Option 2 — Original TorqueMaster (TM):
If the end has a visible counter gear instead, that’s the original TorqueMaster system. The label will just say TM.

This is the first thing you’ll select in the tool - the spring type.

Step 2: Read the Label for Wire Size and Length:

Next, find the white label on your spring tube. You’re looking for a string of numbers that looks something like this:

0.650 x .115 x 29.82

Here’s how to read that:

• .115 is the wire size
• 29.82 is the spring length (in inches)

These are the exact numbers you’ll need to plug into the selector. Don’t try to measure anything - just copy what the label says.

Step 3: Find the Wind Direction

Now look at the same label again, and you’ll see RH or LH next to each spring.

RH means right-hand wind

LH means left-hand wind

You’ll need to enter this into the selector to make sure you get the correct spring. If you’re replacing both springs, make sure you check each one separately — they’re often different.

Now You’re Ready to Order Once you have:

• The spring type (TM, TM3, or TMP)
• The wire size and length
• The wind direction

Just enter those into the "Order by Wire Size" tool, and we’ll take care of the rest.

No measuring. No guesswork. Just the right part — the first time.
