Prime Line Products Gd 12228 Garage Door Torsion Spring

Product Description

The PRIME LINE PRODUCTS GD 12228 is a right-hand wind garage door torsion spring designed to provide the lifting force needed to operate heavy residential garage doors. It ships with mounted stationary and winding cones already installed, making setup more straightforward for qualified installers. Key dimensional specs are 0.243 inches wire diameter, 1.75 inches inside diameter, and 32 inches length. A red color code identifies the spring rate. Rated for 10,000 cycles, this is a regular-duty unit suited for standard residential applications. Garage door technicians select torsion springs by dimensional specs, not door weight, so confirming all three measurements before installation is essential.

This spring is intended for residential garage door systems requiring a right-hand wind torsion spring of this specific size. The package includes three springs, making it appropriate for multi-door service calls or stocking. Right-hand wind torsion springs are typically mounted on the left side of the torsion bar when viewed from inside the garage. This product is suited for professional garage door service technicians performing spring replacements on standard sectional garage doors.

Installation Notes

Garage door torsion springs are under extreme tension and must be installed only by trained garage door service professionals using proper winding bars and safety equipment. Disconnect power to any automatic opener and ensure the door is secured before beginning spring replacement. Never use a screwdriver or improvised tool to wind or unwind the spring. Local building codes and the door manufacturer's instructions should be consulted for the correct number of turns and installation procedure.
