Product Description
-------------------
Use this steel left hand wound torsion spring to replace broken
garage door springs. It includes stationary and winding cones
with .243” wire size x 2 “ inside dimension x 32” length with
yellow color code. This torsion spring is a regular duty spring
with an estimated lifetime rating of 10,000 cycles. These types
of torsion springs provide lifting force for heavy garage doors
and must be selected by the spring’s dimensions, rather than the
door’s weight. See the product specifications with illustrations
found in Prime-Line’s Torsion Spring Selection Guide to assure
that the proper replacement spring has been selected. Steel
winding rods are used to wind and unwind the tension on torsion
springs and they are the only tools recommended for this purpose.
Two winding rods are required for torsion spring replacement.
When dual spring installations are involved, it is important to
correctly install both the left and right wind springs during the
same job. In the case of dual spring installations, note that the
proper use of LEFT WIND and RIGHT WIND springs is imperative.
Also, when dual spring installations are involved, it is
important to replace both springs, as replacing only one spring
may add increased strain to the older non-replaced spring. As an
important safety precaution: all broken or malfunctioning
hardware should be replaced with matching hardware, without any
modifications. Garage door torsion springs can cause serious
injury if not handled and installed properly. If attempting to
replace the torsion springs yourself, it is important that the
removal or adjustment of torsion springs is not attempted with
any other tool other than Prime-Line’s item number GD 52238.
Failure to utilize Prime-Line’s item number GD 52238 for the
replacement of these springs may result in severe personal
injury. Note: To determine the handing of your torsion spring
wind, look at the end of the spring with the ‘finger’ of the
spring at the top of the wind. When the end of the spring is at
12:00 o'clock and it is pointing to the left, the spring is a
right wind; if the end of the spring points to right (positioned
at 12:00 o'clock) it is a left wind. When standing inside the
garage looking outside, the torsion spring with the black painted
winding cone installs on the right side of the door, and the
torsion spring with the red painted winding cone installs on the
left side of the door.
