Garage door extension springs
I'm trying to find 2 replacement springs for a 7 ft Raynor door. The springs are 23 inch 70 lb rated. Fully extended they are 84". I can't find anything that is rated over 67" fully extended. All I can find is 25" springs. How do I know if they are safe to 84"? Would I buy 25"x42" springs?

There is a garage door parts place in Braintree MA. Standard Door Supply of Boston, 34 Garden Park Braintree MA. Really helpful and very good prices. I have bought springs, rollers, etc from them. Give them a call.....I have my latest invoice but their phone number is not on it.

Extension springs are rated by door height and weight. The pulley attached to the spring travels one half the door height from fully open to fully closed on a standard pulley installation. Assuming no slack in the cable, the most your spring should expand is 7 feet divided by 2. Not sure where the 84 inch expansion comes from.
