Ordering Info for Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Torsion and TorqueMaster Plus Springs

When it comes to DIY garage door repair, Wayne Dalton's TorqueMaster torsion spring systems are specifically designed to be safer and more user-friendly for homeowners. Here's how to select the correct TorqueMaster spring for your garage door:

STEP 1: Selecting Spring Type - TorqueMaster Plus or TorqueMaster Original/One

Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Original (TM One) Springs:

• Design: The original TorqueMaster One springs are wound using a drill. These springs feature a worm gear that drives the main drive gear. A counter wheel showcases the number of turns on the spring.
• Winding: These springs are wound using a drill combined with a 7/16” socket or nut driver. They're tailored for DIY home owners, simplifying installation, adjustment, and spring replacement.

Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster Plus Springs:

• Design: This newer system ditches the counter wheel. Instead, it uses a ratcheting mechanism. Installers need to mark the socket to count the number of turns while winding the springs.
• Winding: These springs require a 5/8" socket wrench for winding. With no dial for counting turns, the number of turns is gauged by marking the socket and counting as the spring is wound.

STEP 2: Determining Door Height

• It's important to accurately measure your door height
• For doors measuring between 6’6” to 7’5”, you'll consider them as 7ft doors.
• For doors ranging from 7’6” to 8’5”, they are categorized as 8ft doors.

STEP 3: Determining Door Weight

• The spring tube labels will sometimes list the weight or balance weight. However, if the label doesn't specify the weight, you can determine it by using a bathroom scale and releasing the spring tension.

Important: Check if You Have One or Two Springs (50–110 lb Doors)

Garage doors that weigh between 50 and 110 lbs can have either one spring or two springs. Look at the label on your spring tube to find out which setup you have:

• If the label shows two spring sizes — one marked RH (right-hand) and one marked LH (left-hand) — your door has two springs.
• If the label shows only one spring size, your door has one spring.
• Quick visual check: Two-spring systems have winding cones and gears on both ends of the tube. One-spring systems have the winding gear and cone only on the right side. The left side will either have a plain cone sticking out with no gears or an idler bracket.

Wayne Dalton designed the TorqueMaster torsion spring system prioritizing safety, allowing DIY enthusiasts to install doors without the dangers inherent to standard torsion spring systems.

Order Using Door Model Number and Dimensions:

Another method to source the appropriate torquemaster torsion springs for your garage door involves using the door model number combined with its dimensions.

Step 1: Measure the Dimensions Begin by accurately measuring the height and width of your garage door.

Step 2: Identify the Model Number Once you have the dimensions, search for the door model number. This is often printed on a sticker located on the door sections, tracks, or tube. Common model numbers you might come across include 8000, 8100, 8200, 9100, 9600, Foamcore II (FC II), and the Thermowayne series numbers like 36, 37, or 38.

Step 3: Reach Out to Us With the door's dimensions and model number at hand, send us an email. We will promptly assist you in identifying the most suitable spring combination for your garage door.
