Hello Darrin, thanks for reaching out. For your 56" wide door what I recommend is the Conventional Ramp Door Spring # 362SA5. This is made for the 56" wide doors, and the 85 lb capacity will make opening and closing the rood much easier. Just keep in mind these kind of ramp springs require professional installation.
