Safety while winding garage door springs! The Spring King<\/a> avails as a safe alternative to winding garage door torsion springs with a winding bar. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, including the recommended number of turns, have the drill and tools ready, and do the garage door spring installation yourself in safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring King winding units as sold by DDM follow wire size ranges such as .225-.234, or possibly one wire size. They are keyed into colors in ascending wire size order: white, yellow, green, and blue, for both 7-foot and 8-foot garage doors. Choose the catalog number for the appropriate kit from the Spring King winding kits below, given your door height and wire size needs. Then contact us<\/a> through email, phone call, or fax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
