PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Use this steel left-hand wound torsion spring to replace broken garage door springs of matching dimensions. It includes mounted stationary and winding cones with .243” wire size x 1-3/4” inside dimension x 32” length with red 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 ensure that the proper replacement spring has been selected. As an important safety precaution: all broken or malfunctioning hardware should be replaced with matching hardware, without any modifications. These 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. These 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 proper use of LEFT-WIND and RIGHT-WIND springs is imperative. When dual spring installations are involved and only one breaks, it is important to replace both springs, as replacing only one spring may add increased strain to the older non-replaced spring. 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. FROM THE MANUFACTURER This torsion spring is constructed of steel and it includes a stationary cone and a winding cone attached to opposite ends of the spring. 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. In the case of dual spring installations, note that the proper use of LEFT WIND & RIGHT WIND springs is imperative. Also, when dual spring installations are involved, it is important to replace both springs, as replacing only 1 spring may add increased strain to the older non-replaced spring. This torsion spring is a regular duty spring with an estimated lifetime rating of 10,000 cycles.

Perfect
I'm so pleased. I took very careful measurements before ordering and got exactly what I needed. The package was damaged sticking out one end but the product wasn’t damaged. Functions perfectly.

Good product - Terrible packaging
Product fit and works well. Product was busting out of the packaging and this was the second attempted order. The first order was shipped but could not be delivered because the package busted open and carrier would not deliver it.

Perfect replacement
great spring, as described, on time, with instructions (if you need them). Don't forget the torsion rods, if you don't have them.

Saved a ton by doing it myself
So far so good, it opens the door like it should. Ill let you know in about ten years if it is still going. That's the average lifespan for one of these

Good quality replacement spring
When my garage door torsion spring broke, I needed a replacement and could not buy one locally. Easy enough to install with hand tools and winding rods made by cutting a 36” long, 1/2” cold-rolled steel bar from the hardware store. Make sure to keep your plastic bushing/shaft insert from the old spring since the new spring doesn’t include one.

Decent product, but accurate measurement matters
Seems to work fine, but I ordered a stronger spring than I needed--or wanted. If you're measuring the existing broken spring in its original position, you need to subtract 2 inches of length because it grows that much under tension, and an extra 2 inches of spring can create significant pull back when closing the door. Loosening spring tension won't cure this, it will simply cause the lift cable to go slack and unspool when door is lifted. Also you can use "circumcised" half-inch rebar in for tensioning levers, but with an imprecise fit you risk cracking the sockets of the winding mechanism which are fairly soft metal. Next time I'll just order the 1/2" steel dowels.

Garage door coil spring
Exactly what I needed. Shipping was fast and mounting wasn’t too hard but one will need the proper tools!
Scritto da: Disappointed customer
You can buy this torsion spring.
- Delivered/received at the end of the given time-frame (slower than I had hoped.) - New, looks good; meets all my expectations. - Working smoothly a month now.

Works great
A little bigger spring size than my original garage door springs but I needed a replacement. Just accommodate for the larger than original spring size and do a few less turns to balance the door. Well packaged and arrived on time. Doing a good job so far.
