Using a standard spring on an EZ Set system will also break the plastic winder tabs that hold the winder cone. If a standard spring is installed on an EZ Set system, turning the winder will usually dislodge or strip the gears inside.ĮZ-Set springs are more flexible than standard springs because they are specially gapped in the factory. Securing this end of the spring to the shaft first and then winding the other end won't work because there is no space to add the coils as the spring winds. These normally grow in length as the spring is wound at the opposite end with the cones that have the set screws.
On standard torsion springs the coils are tight. EZ Set springs are specially gapped to allow space for the number of coils to grow as the spring is wound.
The spring is wound from the winder end.įor every turn of spring tension the length of a torsion spring increases by one coil. The other end is secured to the shaft with set screws. One end of the spring fits into the winder. This system uses a special winder that requires only a drill.ĮZ Set springs are specially gapped. Many injuries have occurred over the years from do-it-yourselfers trying to wind or unwind springs with screw drivers instead of winding bars. The EZ-Set Torsion Spring System allows homeowners and do-It-yourselfers to change their own springs much more safely than if they have the standard torsion spring system. EZ-Set torsion springs use a winding cone, like the one pictured here, as a stationary cone.
