Where are you located, Bob? I have two springs just like that with the
paint still on them. Left from a Home Depot screw up several years
ago. My doors are all the spring around the shaft type. Would love to
lighten the shop a bit.

Let me know. Relaxed length and diameter. Just pay for UPS ground.
