 spring system can be 

identified by the end brackets. for single 

spring applications, the right hand end 

bracket will always have a drive gear, 

counter gear, counter cover, and a winding 

bolt head. the left hand end bracket will 

have no gears, counter cover, or winding 

bolt head. the hole for the winding bolt 

head will be plugged.
for double springs, both the right hand 

and left hand end brackets will always 

have a drive gear, counter gear, counter 

cover and a winding bolt head.

step 1: If you have a black counter cover: 

Place a mark on the drive gear tooth and an 

adjacent mark on the right hand end bracket 

(fig. 1). loosen the lock nut using a 7/16” 

wrench and continue with step 2.

If you have a gray counter cover: loosen 

the  lock  nut  using  a  7/16”  wrench  and 

continue with step 2.
step 2: using an electric drill (high 

torque / gear reduced to 1300 rpm 

preferred) with a 7/16” hex head driver, 

unwind the right hand winding bolt head 

counterclockwise (fig. 2) and count the 

number of turns the mark on the drive 

gear passes the adjacent mark on the end 

bracket. Referencing the chart below, by 

door height, stop unwinding the spring 

once the counted turns have reached the 

listed number of turns.

 

 

6’-0” Door height = 14 turns

 

6’-3” Door height = 14 1/2 turns

 

6’-5” Door height = 15 turns

 

6’-6” Door height = 15 turns

 

6’-8” Door height = 15 1/2 turns

 

6’-9” Door height = 15 1/2 turns

 

7’-0” Door height = 16 turns

 

7’-3” Door height = 16 1/2 turns

 

7’-6” Door height = 17 turns

 

7’-9” Door height = 17 1/2 turns

 

8’-0” Door height = 18 turns

step 3: Verify that spring tension has been 

released by pulling the counterbalance 

cable on the right hand cable drum away 

from the header (fig. 3). If spring tension 

has been released, the cable will be loose. 

In addition, the torqueMaster
