Product Details
Prime-Line GD 12319 garage door torsion spring measures .218" x 2" x 23" and features a light blue color with a right hand wind. Constructed of steel, this torsion spring includes both a stationary cone and a winding cone attached at opposite ends. It is designed to provide lifting force for heavy garage doors, emphasizing the importance of selecting the spring based on its dimensions rather than the door's weight, as detailed in Prime-Line's torsion spring selection guide. In dual spring installations, it is critical to use both left wind and right wind springs, and it is advisable to replace both springs to prevent added strain on the older, non-replaced spring. This torsion spring is classified as a regular duty spring with an estimated lifetime rating of 10,000 cycles. For safety, all broken or malfunctioning hardware must be replaced with matching hardware without modifications. The torsion springs can cause serious injury if mishandled; therefore, if replacing the springs yourself, it is crucial to use only Prime-Line's item number GD-52238 for the removal or adjustment of torsion springs. These winding rods are specifically designed for winding and unwinding tension on torsion springs. To ascertain the handing of your torsion spring wind, observe the end of the spring with the 'finger' at the top of the wind; if the end points left at 12:00 o'clock, it is a right wind, while pointing right indicates a left wind.
