The One Tool Every Garage Door Tech Should Have in Their Pocket

Speed Up Spring Identification on Every Service Call

If you’re a garage door repair tech or installer, you’ve run into this before: a broken torsion spring with no label, no markings, and a customer who needs their door working ASAP. Enter your new best friend—the Residential Torsion Spring Wire Gauge Tool, available now at Express Garage Doors.

This compact, field-tested tool lets you quickly and accurately identify wire sizes ranging from 0.1875" to 0.3125". It's built for speed, built for the truck, and built for guys who don’t have time to guess.

What It Does (and Why You’ll Use It Daily)

The wire gauge tool gives you a fast way to size torsion spring wire in the field. Just insert a clean section of spring wire into the notched slots—when it fits snugly, you've got your size. That’s it.

• ✅ Instantly identify unmarked springs
• ✅ Avoid ordering the wrong size and wasting time
• ✅ Keep jobs moving without calling the office or checking charts

Made for the Truck, Not the Toolbox

This isn’t some oversized bench tool. The gauge fits in your glove box, tool bag, or even your back pocket. It’s made from durable metal that holds up to jobsite wear and tear. You’ll reach for it all the time—especially on emergency calls when time matters.
