Question:

I need a spring for a custom shed door. It is 6 foot long and about 150 pounds. I only see a 6 foot spring that is rated for only 80 pounds. Do you have spring that I am looking for?

Yes, we do! For a 6' long garage door you'll want the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 7' Wide Enclosed Trailer item # 362SA7. It has a 150 lbs capacity and the rod the torsion spring sits on can be trimmed down to work with your door.
