Choosing the Correct Replacement Spring for an Enclosed Trailer Ramp Door
Question:
single or dual spring for an enclosed trailer ramp/door? My door is 130lbs. Per a reply, I suppose I am going with 120lbs spring. But single vs double spring??

Expert Reply:
I'd go with a double spring personally, Scott. These are typically going to be used on more heavy duty applications like your enclosed trailer with a pretty heavy door.
In order to get a proper replacement though, you'd need measure the width of your door and find out the weight of the door at it's heaviest point, which I'd imagine isn't more than 185 lbs, so something like # M394FR should work great but I recommend verifying yourself.
