These are stretch extension springs that mount above the horizontal track of a garage door up to 8 ft high. Each spring is 27 inches long (not counting the looped ends) and stretches to 48 inches, with double loop ends, painted color coding and spring wire rated for 10,000 open-and-close cycles. They come in many weight ratings, so the buyer must match the spring to the door's weight and track hardware. Against torsion-spring setups they are simpler and cheaper to replace, but extension springs stretch and can fail suddenly, so safety cables are a must.

Each spring has double loop ends and is made from high quality spring wire. The wire is painted and color coded for longer life. The springs are rated for 10,000 cycles, where one cycle is one open and close of the door.
