Garage Door Torsion Spring, 0.250 x 2 x 28, Gold Painted End, Left-Hand Wind - Single Pack

Constructed of steel, this torsion spring features a stationary cone and a winding cone attached to opposite ends of the spring. Providing lifting force for heavy garage doors, these torsion springs must be selected based on the spring's dimensions rather than the door's weight. It is crucial to refer to the product specifications in Prime-Line's Torsion Spring Selection Guide to ensure the correct replacement spring is chosen. In dual spring installations, using LEFT WIND and RIGHT WIND springs correctly is essential. It is also important to replace both springs in a dual spring installation to prevent added strain on the older non-replaced spring.

This regular duty torsion spring has a lifetime rating of 10,000 cycles. To determine the winding of your torsion spring, observe the end of the spring with the 'finger' at the top of the wind. A right wind spring has the end of the spring at 12:00 o'clock pointing to the left, while a left wind spring has the end pointing to the right. When standing inside the garage looking out, the black painted winding cone should be installed on the right side of the door, and the green painted cone on the left side.

For safety reasons, all broken or malfunctioning hardware must be replaced with matching hardware that has not been modified. Improper handling and installation of these garage door torsion springs can result in serious injury. Only use Prime-Line's item number GD 52238 when attempting to remove or adjust the springs. Failure to do so may lead to severe personal injury. Remember to replace the left side as well with Prime-Line part GD 12321.

LEFT-HAND wind springs should be mounted to the left of center when viewed from inside the garage looking out. The dimensions of this torsion spring are 0.250 inch wire size x 2 inch inside dimension x 28 inch length, with a gold color code. During dual spring installations, both the left and right wind springs must be correctly installed. Replacement of these springs requires the use of Prime-Line part GD 52238 and a clear understanding of wire size and handing. It is advised to double-check the dimensions of the spring and compare them with your existing spring before making a purchase.
