Frequently Asked Questions - 250-2-31 Vevor

What are the dimensions of spring 250-2-31?
The spring has a wire diameter of 0.25 inch, an inner diameter of 2 inches, and a length of 31 inches.
How to distinguish a right-wound spring from a left-wound spring?
Form an 'O' with your index finger and thumb. Follow the direction of the wire with your fingertip: if it goes clockwise, the spring is right-wound (R); otherwise, left-wound (L).
What is the recommended torque for the set screws?
Tighten each screw until it touches the torsion tube, then do not exceed one additional turn to avoid deforming the tube.
How many spring turns are needed for a standard door?
Generally, 30 quarter turns are needed for a 7 ft (2.1 m) door and 36 quarter turns for an 8 ft (2.4 m) door.
Can I install this spring myself?
It is highly recommended to hire a professional. Installation by an unqualified person poses a risk of serious injury, as the spring is under extreme tension.
How to maintain the garage door spring?
Clean the door several times a year with a mild cleaner and soft brush. Apply a light oil spray to the springs, hinges, rollers, and pivot points at least once a year.
What to do if the door lifts by itself after installation?
This means the springs are too tight. Unwind them by 1 or 2 quarter turns on each spring until the door balances halfway.
Is the 250-2-31 spring compatible with all types of garage doors?
This spring is designed for torsion garage doors. Ensure the dimensions (inner diameter 2 inches) match your system.
What components are included with the spring?
The product includes 2 springs (one left, one right), 2 winding bars, 1 pair of gloves, 1 mounting wrench, and the user manual.

REMOVING THE OLD SPRINGS

WARNING

It is dangerous to remove the torsion spring. Please call a professional to operate.

  1. Unplug the garage door opener and clamp the door to the track. Disconnect the garage door opener so the door remains closed. Use locking pliers or a C-clamp to secure the door to the track to keep it from opening when you release the tension on the springs.

  1. Loosen the set screws while holding each spring with a winding bar. Position a sturdy ladder to the side of the springs, rather than working directly in front of them, for safety reasons. Put on eye protection and leather gloves. Push a winding bar into the bottom hole of the winding cone on the outside of 1 spring. Use a wrench to loosen the 2 set screws. Keep a firm grip on the bar as the spring will expand powerfully as screws are released. Repeat on the other side. To ensure the bars fit securely into the winding cone holes, file down the ends.

Note:

A: Using a screwdriver, pin punch, or plier handles to unwind the bar could result in serious injury, as these tools aren't designed to hold the spring in place.

B: Avoid standing on a bucket or chair to reach the springs. Use a ladder to minimize the risk of injury.

  1. Unwind each spring with the help of 2 winding bars.

Position the second winding bar into a hole on the winding cone at a perpendicular angle to the first. Unwind the spring 1/4 turn at a time, moving the winding bar to the next open perpendicular position after each 1/4 turn. Repeat on the other spring.

  1. Remove the nuts and bolts, then slide the springs to the end brackets. Using a wrench, remove the 2 nuts and bolts that secure each spring to the center bracket. Then slide each spring toward the end bracket.

  1. Secure the tube and remove the springs, cables, and cable drums. Use locking pliers or a C-clamp to secure the torsion tube to the center bracket to keep it from moving. Then, use a wrench to loosen the set screws on both lift cable drums. Disconnect the lift cables, then slide cable drums and springs off the torsion tube.

Note: Securing the tube is an essential step that will prevent the tube from moving around and potentially injuring you, so be sure to fully lock it in place.

WARNING

It is dangerous to install the torsion spring. Please call a professional to operate.

  1. Slide the left spring onto the tube and add the cable drum.

When your new springs arrive, put the new left spring on the torsion tube, making sure that the stationary cone on the end of the spring faces the center bracket. After sliding the new spring into place, replace the cable drum and insert the torsion bar into the left bearing bracket.

  1. Install the center bearing and the right spring, then secure the cones. Slide the torsion bar to the left then add the center bearing. Slide the right spring onto the bar and press the bearing into the stationary cone. Connect both stationary cones to the center bracket with the nuts and bolts you removed previously. Remove the locking pliers or clamp from the center bracket.
  2. Thread the cables and tighten the drums.

Run the lift cable between the roller and the doorjamb. Slip the lift cable through the cable slot on the drum. Then attach locking pliers to the torsion tube to secure it in place. Spin the drum to wind the cable into the grooves, then tighten the set screws. Repeat on the other side, leaving the locking pliers in place. Note: For the door to operate properly, you need the same amount of tension on both sides, so take care to tighten each side evenly.

  1. Wind the springs.

Insert 2 winding bars into the winding cone so they are perpendicular to each other. Use the bars to turn the spring 1/4 turn at a time, moving the bars to holes in the cone as necessary. Follow the supplier's recommendation for the number of turns to complete. Repeat on the other spring.

Note:

A: Generally, you'll need 30 quarter-turns for a 7 ft (2.1 m) tall door and 34 quarter-turns for an 8 ft (2.4 m) tall door.

B: Winding the spring too tight could cause it to break and injure you, so it is important to follow the supplier's recommendation and don't over-wind the spring.

Stretch the springs out 1/4 inch (6.4mm)

  1. Stretch the springs out 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).

When the spring is fully wound, leave 1 winding bar in a slot of the cone perpendicular to the floor. Tap the winding bar with a hammer to stretch the 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) out from the center. Repeat on the other side.

  1. Tighten the set screws.

Tighten each set screw until it contacts the torsion tube. Tightening the screw more than this could distort or puncture the torsion tube, so be sure to make no more than 1 full rotation once the screws touch the torsion tube.

  1. Remove the clamps or pliers.

It is now safe to remove the clamps or pliers you used to hold both the torsion bar and the garage door itself in place.

Note: When you need to add or unwind 1 or 2 quarter turns, you must hold the clamps or pliers again.

  1. Check the balance after installation.

Leave the door at half way position:

If the door moves up on its own, it means the torsion springs are wound too tight. In this case, unwind both torsion springs 1 or 2 quarter turns until the door balances itself.

MAINTENANCE

  1. Use a neutral cleaner and a soft brush to clean the garage door 2 times a year.
  2. Use a lightweight oil spray on all springs, hinges, rollers and pivot points at least once a year to allow your garage door to slide smoothly up and down.
  3. Once a year, you should thoroughly inspect the electric garage door and tighten all screws, nuts or bolts that may be loose.
  4. Using a cloth and a concentrated but non-corrosive cleaner, wipe the garage door track and carefully clean all exposed parts of the rollers to remove all excess moisture.
