FAQs
How do I tell which TorqueMaster parts my door needs
Start by confirming the system type and the door size. Then double check your door weight or spring length and wire size listed on the spring tube label/sticker. Not sure? Contact us and send pictures! We can easily identify what is the correct replacement.
Do I need to replace both TorqueMaster springs
Yes. Springs should be replaced in pairs so the door stays balanced and operates correctly. Mixing new and worn springs can strain the opener and hardware.
What tools are required for TorqueMaster spring service
Basic hand tools are usually all you need. Check product instruction manual for specific tool lists. Always secure the door and follow the safety steps listed on the product page and in the installation guide.
Can I reuse my old cables or drums
Inspect for frayed cables, bent drums, or worn grooves. If any damage is present, replace the parts. Matching new springs with worn cables or drums can cause uneven lifting and premature wear.
How do I set the correct spring tension
Follow the torque chart and steps provided with the spring or winding unit. Add turns gradually, test balance with the opener disconnected, and adjust until the door stays at mid travel without drifting.
Can I convert from TorqueMaster to a standard torsion system
Yes. Conversion kits are available for many doors. If you prefer to keep the existing system, select replacement TorqueMaster components matched to your door size and configuration.
