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.
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.

Think of your garage door springs like the counterweight in an old elevator. Without them, your door would be incredibly difficult to lift manually, and your garage door opener would burn out trying to handle all that weight on its own.
