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.
