What Are Garage Door Extension Springs?
Extension springs, placed on either side of your garage door, run parallel to the horizontal tracks. When the door closes, the springs stretch to store energy. Opening the door releases that stored energy, letting you lift the door with ease.
These springs are:
Great for lighter or standard-weight garage doors
Affordable and simple to install
Designed to work in pairs for balanced tension
Color-coded for easy selection and matching
Whether you’re replacing a worn-out spring or upgrading your current setup, we’ll help you find garage door extension springs that will last.
Features You Can Count On
Every spring we offer is well-crafted with durability and ease of use in mind:
Color-coded by door weight for quick identification
Made from high-tension, oil-tempered steel wire
Includes safety cables, hooks, and loops where applicable
Rated for 10,000+ cycles—with heavy-duty options available
Sold in matched pairs for consistent performance
Our extension springs are compatible with 7-foot and 8-foot tall garage doors and can support doors ranging from 70 lbs to 200+ lbs.
How to Choose the Right Extension Spring
To choose the correct extension spring for your garage door, follow these simple steps:
Know Your Garage Door’s Weight
Most residential doors fall between 70 and 200 pounds. If you’re unsure, you can disconnect the opener and lift the door manually to estimate the weight—or check the manufacturer’s label.
Use the Color Code
Extension springs are color-coded by weight capacity:
- White: 100 lbs
- Green: 120 lbs
- Yellow: 130 lbs
- (Other colors available based on size and cycle ratings)
Measure Your Current Spring
Measure the length of the spring without tension (door open), and note the spring diameter and hook type. Our product pages provide all the details you’ll need to match the specs.

Installation Tips & Safety Notes
Installing garage door extension springs is more DIY-friendly than torsion springs, but safety is still key.
Safety Tips:
Replace both springs at the same time to ensure even tension.
Install safety cables to prevent accidents if a spring breaks.
Make sure the door is fully open and secured before removing the old springs.
Wear gloves and eye protection.
If you’re unsure at any point, it’s best to call for help from a garage door repair Santa Ana expert.
