Product Description
-------------------
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 found in Prime-Line’s Torsion Spring Selection
Guide to assure that the proper replacement spring has been
selected. With 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 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. 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 it is a left
wind. When standing inside the garage looking out, the torsion
spring with the black painted winding cone installs on the right
side of the door, and the green painted winding cone installs on
the left side of the door. 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. Make sure to
replace the left side as well, Prime-Line part GD 12235.

rods are used to wind and unwind the tension on torsion springs
and they are the only tools recommended for this purpose. 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.
