It turned out their technicians were just matching the color of the old spring when they did replacements. They weren't weighing the doors. After years of exposure to the elements and a few new coats of paint, many of the doors were 20-30 pounds heavier than when they were new. The old springs were already failing under the strain, and replacing them with the same "color" was just repeating the problem. That's why you have to look beyond the color and start with the facts.

Why Is Your Door's Weight More Important Than the Color Code?

You found the color on your old spring, but what if it was already wrong? Simply matching that color means you could be installing an undersized spring, leading to another failure and an unsafe door.

The color code is just a label for a spring's lifting power, which must match your door's actual weight. Doors get heavier over time. Weighing your door is the only way to guarantee you select the correct spring for safe and balanced operation.

In our factory, every spring we produce is calibrated to a precise force specification, which is then represented by a color. But that color is meaningless without the correct starting number: the door's weight. People often skip the weighing step because it seems like a hassle. They assume the last person did it right. But I've seen homeowners add heavy insulation panels or even decorative hardware, adding significant weight to a door. The original springs were never designed for that load. Without weighing the door, you are flying blind. Taking 15 mintuna don samun madaidaicin nauyi shine mataki mafi mahimmanci guda ɗaya don tabbatar da an yi gyara cikin aminci kuma daidai.

How Do You Actually Read a Garage Door Spring Color Chart?

You have your door's weight, but the chart shows a dozen colors. Choosing one that's "close enough" will leave your door unbalanced, straining the opener and causing premature wear on rollers and hinges.

You match your door's accurate weight to the corresponding color on the chart. It's crucial to understand that the weight listed is for a pair of springs.

Standard Color Chart for 7-Foot Doors

This is a typical chart used in the industry.

• The 10-Pound System: Each color represents an additional 10 pounds of lifting capacity. This standardization makes it easy to find the right part.
• Always Replace in Pairs: Extension springs work together. When one fails, the other has been subjected to the same number of cycles and stresses and is likely near failure itself. Replacing only one spring will create an immediate and dangerous imbalance.

Does a Taller Door Use a Different Color Chart?

You have an 8-foot tall garage door, but you used a standard chart. Now the new springs are stretched too far when the door is open, yin ƙara mai ƙarfi da rasa ƙarfi da sauri.

The wire diameter and the number of coils are different, which means their force properties are different. You cannot assume a "Blue" spring for a 7-foot door is the same as a "Blue" spring for an 8-foot door. You must use a chart specific to your door's height.

The Importance of Matching Spring Length to Door Height

It's a simple rule: the spring's length must match the door's height.

• Travel Distance: The distance a spring has to stretch is determined by the door's height. Taller doors mean more travel.
• Engineered for a Specific Stretch: A 25-inch spring is designed to safely stretch to 42 inci (for a 7-foot door). A 27-inch spring is designed to safely stretch to 48 inci (for an 8-foot door).
• The Wrong Combination Fails: Using the wrong length will always lead to failure. The door will either not open/close correctly, or the springs will wear out in a matter of months instead of years.

Ƙarshe

A color chart is a useful guide, but it is not enough. You must weigh your door and confirm its height to choose the correct and safe extension springs for your garage.
