Your cart is empty.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 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 12321.

Appears well made, installation went smoothly. Instructions were way better than most instructions that come with products these days. Purchased the rods from the same company to install the spring.

Got it installed pretty quick. Was my first time doing anything with a garage door. Still no issues after a few months.

Great product and excellent price, My garage door spring broke last week. before that I had no idea about garage door springs but I'm quite handy and learned fast. problem though I ordered the wrong direction spring, I ordered left hand but I actually needed right hand wind. I thought about it and realized I could flip it around by moving the mounting bracket to the other side so I could wind it the proper direction. Also this spring is 28 inches and my original was 26, so I had to play with the amount of turns until I got it working right. it's been working like a champ so far, So I'm a happy customer!

I got an open box item of this product. It was like new as described and cost less than other retailers for the same spring. Getting this cut what would've been $200 repair by a pro down to $60 by doing it myself. I have a single spring door and ended up getting an opposite direction wind because whoever installed my door cranked the set screws down too hard and damaged the winding shaft on that side. Getting the opposite wind direction let me mount the spring on the other side of the shaft. It's been working great for months now.

It was a perfect match for our garage door. Installed it in about 30 minutes while also changing out all bushings/bearings. Just remember to put safety first and make sure you are a capable person of doing this work.

Great product. It was more difficult to install in my garage than I expected. Beginners ill luck. I almost called a contractor, but was eventually able to get the tension correct on both sides for my door.I would buy this again now that I know what I'm doing, but I would recommend(seriously recommend) watching 5+ videos on the complete process before starting. If there is even a small difference in the way the cable is wound around the pulleys you can easily pull the door off of the tracks. Make sure the door is level and the cables on both sides have the same tension before starting then manually raise and lower the door several times before you try to use the door opener.Good Luck!Again good product. My problems were due to my personal knowledge.

Springs ended being a couple of inches longer than I requested. So, can't wind them correctly in order to balance the door. Bummer!!
