For OEM / custom manufacturing
This page is for door hardware manufacturers, hinge manufacturers, door closer manufacturers, and architectural hardware brands sourcing springs to a drawing or a functional spec — not for individual replacement-part orders. If you need one replacement spring for an installed door closer, a local hardware supplier will serve you faster than an overseas manufacturer.
What we produce for door hardware
- Door closer springs — compression or torsion, depending on closer mechanism
- Self-closing hinge springs — torsion, typically with matched left- and right-hand wound pairs for opposite-swinging doors
- Floor hinge springs — heavier-duty torsion or compression depending on mechanism
- Latch and lock springs — smaller compression and torsion springs for latch mechanisms
- Left- and right-hand wound pairs — routine for us, not a special request
Wire diameter, material, and load/torque requirements vary by mechanism — see our dedicated torsion spring and compression spring pages for the specifications to send us.
Why door hardware is our deepest area of experience
Formosa Spring has produced door-motion return springs for two decades. Matched left- and right-hand wound pairs — needed for door closers and self-closing hinges that swing in opposite directions — are routine production for us, not a special engineering request most spring shops will hesitate over.

How ordering works
- Send your drawing (PDF/STEP/DXF) or a sample through our RFQ form — note if you need a matched left/right pair.
- Our engineers review manufacturability and confirm the spec with you.
- We quote with clear pricing, tooling (if any), and lead time.
- Samples in about 4–6 weeks; production in 60–90 days.
- Inspection report, neutral packaging, and worldwide shipping (EXW/FOB/CIF/DDP).
