Door Springs

Door Springs

A spring mounted to a door or door frame controls how the door closes and absorbs the impact that would otherwise rattle the hinges and frame over time. Tractor Supply's doors and door hardware inventory includes steel door springs in multiple styles and load ratings to match standard residential doors and outdoor setups.

Tension and Resistance Built into Every Coil

Door springs stretch when a load is applied and return to their original length once the force is released. The strength and durability of a spring are determined by wire thickness, coil count and overall length. Selecting the appropriate spring for your door’s weight ensures smooth, safe and reliable operation. Springs rated too light for a heavy door will overstretch, and springs rated too heavy for a light door can cause it to snap shut with unnecessary, potentially dangerous force.

We offer door springs in a variety of options, including various materials to meet different needs. Steel is the standard material for door springs because it holds its shape under repeated stress without losing tension. When a spring weakens over time, your door either slams shut or stops closing all the way. Steel holds up against that kind of wear far better than softer metals. For shop entries, sheds and other outdoor uses, our zinc-coated springs add durability in the elements.

Extension Springs for Light and Heavy Loads

When a screen or storm door needs controlled closing, a light-duty extension spring is the right choice. These springs use thinner wire that stretches gently and returns with just enough force to pull a lightweight door shut without slamming. Heavy-duty utility extension springs use thicker wire and more tightly wound coils to manage heavier doors on sheds and outbuildings. Paired with essential hardware, such as door pulls and hinges, the right extension spring keeps a door operating smoothly from open to close.

Compression Springs for Latches and Locks

Different from extension springs, which stretch under load, compression springs shorten when force is applied and push back outward when released. Latches and other internal door mechanisms rely on that outward push to snap components back into position. They pair well with components, such as door braces and strike plates. Our compression springs come in a wide range of diameters, lengths and wire gauges, so checking the original spring's measurements before ordering a replacement saves you time and avoids a poor fit.

Porch Swing Springs for Safe Suspension

Porch swing springs are thick-wire extension springs that mount between a ceiling hook and the swing's hanging chain. They absorb the rocking motion of the swing, reducing the stress transferred to the overhead support structure. Riders feel the difference in a smoother, quieter motion compared to a rigid chain-only setup. Most models have a protective zinc or powder finish, which is applied to the surface to resist rust from rain and humidity that come with Life Out Here.
