manual winding process used in
conventional torsion spring installations. User-friendly 45º drill input angle

• Standard spring wire gauge (gapped) and a large spring diameter of 1 3 / 4
" help
assure dependable performance.
• Galvanized springs are cleaner, more attractive and can last up to 50% longer
than oil tempered springs.
• Unlike conventional torsion spring installations, the torsion load is transmitted
through the flag brackets and into the jambs, eliminating the time-consuming
process of preparing the anchor pad and mounting the load-bearing center brackets.
• Die cast aluminum drums (not plastic) provide exceptional durability and
ensure long life.
