TorqueMaster Spring, .110" Wire Size, .650" ID GREEN

TorqueMaster® springs are a proprietary component developed by Wayne Dalton as part of their innovative garage door counterbalance system. Unlike traditional exposed torsion or extension springs, TorqueMaster springs are housed inside a metal tube mounted on the header above the garage door. This enclosed design enhances safety by preventing direct contact with the spring, reducing the risk of injury or property damage in the event of a spring failure.

Key Features of TorqueMaster Springs:

1. Enclosed Spring System:
   The most notable characteristic of TorqueMaster springs is that they are installed inside a metal shaft or tube. This prevents exposure to the elements and offers a cleaner, more integrated appearance.

2. Spring Types – One and Plus Systems:

   • TorqueMaster® One springs typically use smaller wire sizes and are suited for lighter residential garage doors.

   • TorqueMaster® Plus springs are designed for heavier doors and use larger wire diameters and stronger materials to accommodate higher torque requirements.

3. Precision Engineering:
   These springs are wound to specific tension levels based on the door size, weight, and configuration. The winding is done using a special winding unit, which also contributes to user safety by controlling tensioning more precisely.

4. Color Coding System:
   TorqueMaster springs utilize a proprietary color-coding system to identify specifications such as wire size, length, and winding direction. While not publicly standardized, the color code helps authorized dealers and installers quickly match springs to appropriate door systems.

5. Maintenance and Durability:
   Because of their enclosed nature, these springs experience less wear from dust and moisture, contributing to a longer lifespan. However, they are not immune to fatigue and will eventually require replacement. Their concealed installation means replacement typically requires more time and the proper tools.

6. Compatibility and Safety:
   These springs are custom selected based on door specifications. Using the incorrect spring can lead to door imbalance and potential safety hazards. Wayne Dalton and authorized dealers use software or charts to determine the appropriate spring based on door height, weight, and configuration.
