Torsion Spring Conversion

What this service covers

Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks and, without proper containment cables, can whip across the garage when they break. A torsion conversion moves the counterbalance to a shaft above the opening: safer, better balanced and much longer lived.

• Old extension springs, pulleys and cables fully removed
• Torsion shaft, bearing plates, drums and cables installed above the opening
• Spring set sized to your measured door weight and target cycle life
• Opener limits and force re-calibrated after conversion

Torsion Spring Conversion questions

Do I have enough headroom for torsion?

Most garages do. Where headroom is tight, a low-headroom or rear-mount torsion kit solves it.

Is a conversion worth the cost?

If your extension springs are due for replacement anyway, the incremental cost is modest and the safety gain is significant.
