Expert Reply:

The part # CB250D96SHD has a total weight of about 45 lbs. It has a lifting capacity (spring capacity) of 250 lbs. That means it can provide up to 250lbs of lifting assistance depending how you wind it.

The installation instructions for this product are recommended for individuals who have experience winding torsion springs. If you have not worked with a torsion spring system before, we recommend contacting a local garage door company to install this system.
