Hormann Single Door Torsion Spring

The Hormann Single Door Torsion Spring is an OEM counterbalance component engineered for Hörmann (Hörmann) single-door garage systems. Mounted on a torsion shaft above the opening and paired with cable drums and lift cables, it stores and releases energy to offset the door’s weight, delivering smooth lifting and controlled closing for both manual and operator-driven use. Commonly specified on Hörmann sectional and retractable up-and-over single-door configurations in residential settings—and in select light commercial applications—this replacement torsion spring restores proper balance when the original spring is worn or broken, helping reduce opener strain and improve overall door performance.

For correct compatibility, match the spring to the door’s model, weight, lift type (standard, high-lift, or vertical), and winding direction (right- or left-wind). Verify details from the door’s ID label and the markings on the original spring or tag in accordance with Hörmann service documentation; torsion components are not universal across brands. This mechanical part has no electrical requirements. Due to the high torque stored in torsion systems, installation and tensioning must be performed with proper winding bars by trained technicians following Hörmann procedures, with the opener disconnected and the door secured. After replacement, confirm cable routing, drum set-screws, bearing alignment, and, where fitted, the spring break safety device. Periodic inspection and lubrication per Hörmann maintenance guidance help maintain consistent operation and longevity.
