Key Features

• Complete kit: The package includes the left side torsion spring, 1' nylon bushing, a pair of non-slip winding bars, gloves, and an installation manual so installers have all basic tools at hand.
• Durable construction: Heat-treated professional spring steel coils with aluminum cones provide heavy duty strength for repeated cycles and long service life.
• Corrosion resistance: Electrophoretic e-coating gives superior abrasion resistance and passed salt spray tests up to 400 hours for improved longevity.
• High cycle rating: The spring is specified for a minimum of 30,000 cycles, making it a reliable choice for daily residential use.
• Easy maintenance: The coating means the spring should never need lubrication during normal service, reducing upkeep for owners.
• Clear sizing: The 250 wire x 2 in ID x 29 length dimensions are provided so buyers can confirm an exact match to the original spring.

Who It's For

This spring kit is aimed at homeowners, handypersons, and small contractors replacing a left-side torsion spring on a residential garage door where the original specs match 250 x 2 x 29. It suits people who prefer a kit that includes winding bars and gloves so they do not need to source separate supplies.

It is not recommended for those without experience handling torsion springs or anyone who is uncomfortable with the risks involved; in those cases a professional installer should be hired. Also, buyers who do not have the exact wire, inner diameter, and length match should select a different size spring rather than adapting this one.
