Typically, using a single spring instead of two will save just two or three dollars. The installers also know that they can install a single spring with fewer cycles and get more money a few years down the road when the garage door is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"damage\"\u003ePreventing Garage Door Damage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhenever a torsion spring is installed, it is stretched horizontally along the shaft to keep the coils from binding. As the garage door opens, the spring loses about 7 coils as the ends of the spring pull together. Since the spring anchor bracket is secured to the wall, the winding cones pull the shaft through the bracket. This often forces the cable drum into the end bearing plate. Older-style end bearing plates were not reinforced, causing the supporting angle to bend. As a result, the cable drum scrapes and the cable to peel off the drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rightinsert300\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/springs\/images\/one-or-two\/brace-bearing-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Braced garage door end bearing plate.\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA brace on the end bearing plate, like this one, can keep the cable drum from scraping.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne solution for garage doors that use the older-style flat end bearing plates is to brace the plate to the header with angle iron or wood. This will usually prevent the drum from scraping the end bearing plate. If you have a single spring with a wire size of 0.273 or larger, the extra pull may wear out the bearing. The extra cost of replacing the bearing is worth it to switch to two springs if there is enough room on the shaft for a second spring. If you have a second spring on the door, it will pull the shaft in the opposite direction. These forces, for the most part, cancel out and minimize cable, cable drum, bearing, and bearing plate damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther problems frequently ensue when a single spring is used on a double-car garage door. Many manufacturers have cut costs by using a single spring on a double-wide 16' steel garage door. If the spring breaks near the stationary cone, a large portion of the spring spins loose with the winding cone secured to the shaft. This causes a strong force to pull on the cables, often leading to one or two broken cables. If the opener up force is set too strong, it is more likely to wreck the top section if not the whole door. A second spring helps to keep the tension when the first spring breaks, resulting in fewer broken cables and less damage to the garage door itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"safety\"\u003eSafety when a Spring Breaks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rightinsert300\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/springs\/images\/one-or-two\/bent-garage-door.jpg\" alt=\"Bent garage door. Damaged from fall with broken spring\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bottom section on this garage door was damaged when the spring broke and the door fell.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the spring breaks as your garage door is closing, or if the door is disengaged from the opener when the spring breaks, the door often slams down like a guillotine. Even if your opener is equipped with eyes to keep the door from closing when someone is underneath it, the opener is often unable to stop the door. A broken spring can endanger life as the door falls, and can also crinkle the door sections like an accordion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we are often in a hurry when we walk into the garage are do not always wait for the garage door to fully open, a broken spring while the door is opening could lead to huge medical bills, if not death. Installing a second garage door spring will minimize this risk. When one spring breaks, the second will usually minimize the damage to property and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"options\"\u003eCycle-Life Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach time you open then close your garage door, you remove one cycle from the life of your torsion spring. In the garage door industry, we refer to the expected number of cycles for a spring as the cycle life. Most garage doors have the space for springs with a longer cycle life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the design of springs, the homeowner tends to have more cycle life options when he installs two torsion springs instead of just one. In purchasing a single spring, for example, you may only be able to get a 30,000 cycle spring or a 60,000 cycle spring when you would prefer 40,000 cycles. Switching over to two springs, you are more likely to be able to purchase a pair of 40,000 cycle springs that will be cheaper than the 60,000 cycle spring and give you more cycles than the 30,000 cycle spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"backtotop\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/two-spring-garage-door-spring-conversion.php#top\" class=\"backtotop\"\u003eBack to Top\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subheader\" id=\"installing\"\u003eInstalling the Second Spring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many do-it-yourselfers, figuring out how to install the second spring can be a daunting task. Winding one spring is stressful enough - winding a second spring? That's just crazy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second spring really is not as bad as it may sound. You will not need any special tools for the job in order to install the second spring. Despite the fact that you will be winding two springs instead of just one, each spring is only half as strong as a single spring would be. Thus, you do half the work for two springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"steps\"\u003eThe Steps to Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire job of installing a second torsion spring when you replace your single broken spring is just a combination of our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/single-tsreplacement.php\"\u003esingle torsion spring replacement\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/replace-garage-door-torsion-springs.php\"\u003edouble torsion spring replacement\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003einstructions. Note: the description below does not cover the safety precautions that must be followed when installing springs or repairing your garage door. Refer to the aforementioned tutorials for complete safety warnings and instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince your torsion spring is already broken, there is no tension pulling on the shaft. You can unplug your opener, disengage it from the door, and vise grip the track to keep the door for jumping up when you wind the springs. You can loosen both the winding and stationary cones from the shaft and bracket, as there is no tension in the spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you mark the shaft and cable drums, you can loosen the drums and slide the shaft out of one of the end bearing plates and remove the broken spring. You can then slide on the new spring, making sure that it is the same wind. After sliding the cable drum back on the shaft, you can reinsert the shaft into the end bearing plate. This takes you through the first 33 steps of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/single-tsreplacement.php\"\u003esingle garage door spring replacement\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etutorial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou are now ready to slide the second spring on the shaft. You can pick up at step 8.13 of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/replace-garage-door-torsion-springs.php\"\u003edouble-spring replacement tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e. Following the same logic, you slide the shaft out of the end bearing plate, remove the cable drum, slide the new spring on the shaft (stationary cone first), reinstall the cable drum, and slide the shaft back into the end bearing plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, you reset the cable drums and install the cable. You can then secure the stationary cones together at the spring anchor bracket. Depending on the setup of your garage door, you may need to move the position of your spring anchor bracket. All you have left is to wind the torsion springs, secure the set screws to the shaft, and reengage and plug in the opener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to replacing your broken spring with a single spring, installing two springs does not take much extra work. You will have to slide the second spring on from the opposite side of the shaft, and you will have to wind two springs instead of one. In some cases, you may also have to move the location of the spring anchor bracket if it is located near an end bearing plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"bracket\"\u003eMoving the Spring Anchor Bracket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers often ask if the spring anchor bracket should be centered above the door when converting to two springs. Other than the aesthetic appeal there is no mechanical advantage to centering the bracket. There may be situations, however, where the bracket is off to one side and there is not enough space to install the second spring. If this is the case, reposition the spring anchor bracket closer to the center of the header.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"parts\"\u003eThe Extra Parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter your single spring breaks and you convert to two torsion springs, you will naturally be needing one more spring than you used to have. Customers will occasionally also need longer bolts to secure the stationary cones to the spring anchor bracket. Since the bolts pass through both stationary cones with the spring anchor bracket in the middle instead of just passing through one cone and the bracket, the threaded part of the bolts has to be at least 1-1\/2\" long. If your existing bolts are not 1-1\/2\" long, you can pick up longer bolts at any hardware store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany customers think that since one bearing or bushing was used with one spring, they certainly will need two bearings for two springs. This is not the case. As long as you use one spring anchor bracket to hold the two springs, only use one bearing. When you insert the bearing in the stationary cone of the torsion spring and slide it to the spring anchor bracket, the exposed part of the bearing rests in the slot of the bracket. This helps to keep the torsion springs centered on the shaft. If you install a second bearing, the stationary cones will be under extra stress when you secure them together. You will likely break one or both stationary cones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any torsion spring replacement, you may need to replace other garage door parts.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/cable.html\"\u003eCables\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/BE-100.html\"\u003ebearings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor the end bearing plates should be examined and replaced as necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tscnv-07","title":"Torsion Spring Conversion Kit for 7' High Door","description":"Garage Door Kit for converting from extension springs, EZ Set springs, or TorqueMaster to standard torsion on a 7' garage door.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7' Kit includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 pair \u003ca href=\"\/products\/caba-86t\"\u003eCABA-86T\u003c\/a\u003e cables for 7' doors. 1 pair \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dr-400-08\"\u003eDR-400-08\u003c\/a\u003e cable drums. 1 pair \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ebp-338kf\"\u003eEBP-338KF\u003c\/a\u003e end bearing plates and fasteners. 1 single \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sab-450k\"\u003eSAB-450K\u003c\/a\u003e center support bearing \u0026amp; plate and fasteners.
