  • Where to buy garage door parts...

    Need to fix my garage doors and wanted to know a decent place to buy parts. Lots of places come up with google, but wanted any recommendations...

    I have a two(2) 7'6" doors. Need to buy 4 extension springs with a 140/145 lb capacity and eight (8) 3" pulleys.

    Any recommendation on the brand of springs to buy?

    Thanks. Later...

    Lowes or Home Depot. California suppliers are reluctant to sell ANYONE a torsion spring because they can seriously maim or kill you.

      Watching . . .

      (You do need Extension Springs NOT Torsion Springs though right??? - only reason I ask is most houses built in the last 25++ years use the Torsion Springs.)

      Extension Springs
      Garage Door Extension Springs

      Torsion Springs
      Raynor Garage Door Torsion Spring 2-1/4" ID Replacement Kit comes w/ Cones, and Winding Bars

      I'm sure you know what you are talking about here. . .

      Yes, a spring Mfgr. / Wholesaler that will give us all good prices is wanted. In fact, they should choose to be a sponsor on here.

        Thanks. yes. I need Extension Springs and Not Torsion Springs.

        That's interesting. My house is about 12 years old (2nd owner) and it came with Extension Springs. I never saw a Torsion Spring until a few months ago when we had to have the garage door replaced at a rental property. Live in VA near DC, so don't if they're slow to adopt or the developer was cheap or ???

        Thanks. Later...

          I would recommend that instead off purchase the yourself, You should look for a local garage door company to add them on to your garage door. I purchase that springs and couldn't put them on and I brought the wrong size. Cost me more money that way

            garage door springs and all attached hardware is very dangerous due to extreme tension. Any work on these parts should be handled only with proper experience or by a professional.

              Garage doors springs

              The best way to buy new springs is to take your old springs to home depot and to buy exactly same garage doors springs

                Just so you know . . . Home Depot doesn't even stock the Torsion Springs (not that you need them.) But, don't waste your time with a trip to Home Depot if you live in CA.

                    Read my post. I do know that which is why I said (not that you need them.) . . .

                    I was just making sure the OP knew you couldn't get them at Home Depot in CA.

                      Again, why even make the comment if it is entirely irreverent to the OP's original question, he doesn't need them, didn't ask about them, therefore wouldn't even contemplate going to HD for something he didn't need or want.
                      Little about a lot and a lot about a little.

                        We disagree. . .
                        I want to have as many people know about this as possible so someone can work to get the law reversed for CA.
                        If someone else reads the thread looking (for a solution for a bad spring of theirs) . . . They aren't something you can get at Home Depot (in all States.)

                        That is why I post this stuff. Hope you can understand.

                          First of all the OP lives in Reston Virginia so California wouldn't even apply.
                          Second the OP said Extension springs NOT torsion springs.
                          DuneMe you're going off on a tangent just like you did about that low voltage surround lighting posting.
                          Stay within the posting or get thrown out like before, please!

                            You can always buy from box stores or shop online for parts. I recommend these two:


                            Stamps Garage Door Parts

                            DDM Garage Doors


                            Find the cheapest pricing you can - all the parts from reputable stores are the same quality...
