• Overhead Door Springs On Enclosed Trailer Frequently Breaking

If you can tell me the weight you are seeing on a scale I can help find the correct system for your door. The Ramp...

• How to Determine Right Spring For Ramp
  Hi there John; I'd love to tell you exactly what you need but you have to know the weight of the door, there just isn't any way around it.

• Could the Ramp Spring Part # CB250D96SHD Replace a Smaller Ramp Spring
  The closest ramp spring we have to what you have is the part # CB250D96SHD that you referenced which is slightly larger than your current setup but could still be made to work. It can be cut down to a minimum length of 80 inches. We strongly recommend having a professional overhead door technician install the spring for you.

• Can Mounting Brackets be Moved on Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring
  It is not recommended to adjust any of the parts attached to the main tube of a spring like # CB250D96SHD because of the tension on the springs. Only a certified garage door installer should make adjustments. While it is possible to move the brackets it would be easier to just move the top L-brackets to point out instead of in or just replace them with longer L-brackets to fit the mounts you have.

  It could be that the springs are worn out and need to be replaced with either new springs or a new system such as # CB250D96SHD.

• Can a Trailer Ramp Door Spring System Be Used on a 12 x 16 Foot Building
