Product Description
-------------------
Use this steel left-hand wound torsion spring to replace broken
garage door springs of matching dimensions. It includes ed
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.

This torsion spring is constructed of steel and it includes a
stationary cone and a winding cone attached to site 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. As an important
safety precaution: all broken or malfunctioning hardware should
be replaced with matching hardware, without any modifications.
