Product Details
This torsion spring is constructed of steel and includes a stationary cone and a winding cone attached to opposite ends of the spring. Designed to provide lifting force for heavy garage doors, the selection of this spring should be based on its dimensions rather than the door's weight. In the event of dual spring installations, it is essential to properly use left wind and right wind springs, and both springs should be replaced to prevent added strain on the older spring. This regular duty torsion spring has an estimated lifetime rating of 10,000 cycles. Users should adhere to safety precautions, ensuring that all broken or malfunctioning hardware is replaced with matching hardware without modifications. It is critical not to attempt the removal or adjustment of torsion springs with any tool other than Prime-Line's item number GD-52238, as failure to do so may result in severe personal injury. These winding rods are specifically designed for winding and unwinding the tension on torsion springs, making them the only recommended tools for such purposes. To determine the handing of the torsion spring wind, observe the end of the spring positioned at 12:00 o'clock: if it points left, it is a right wind; if it points right, it is a left wind. When viewed from inside the garage looking outside, the torsion spring features a black painted wind.
