Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 7' Wide Enclosed Trailer - Single Spring - 150-lb Capacity

The ramp door spring that I ordered never came with instructions, where the video said that it would. Was this supposed to have some type of instructions with it? Also the shaft ended up being bent during shipping, which is not a huge problem for me because I only needed 5 ft. of the shaft.

I also Installed this for a shed ramp door, but I do seem to have one problem.
I installed the spring, but when the door is closed the shaft spins and the spring unwinds. It seems like when the door is closed there is no more pressure on the door keeping the shaft from spinning.
Am I missing something or is there a solution to this?934665

So far, my experience was great! I have a repair shop that does just about whatever is brought to us. Our main line is automotive, power sports, and small engine. We had a customer bring an enclosed trailer with a broken gate lift assist. I called to get some information on lift assist parts for this trailer, and was greeted with a great customer service representative. Easy to deal with and shipping was faster than expected. Thank you team! I am a satisfied customer.1669833

The spring kit works perfectly and I couldn't be happier with it. The install is straight forward and relatively simple though accessing the set screws used to lock the drums can be a little challenging. A+ for a great sales staff, very efficient and knowledgeable.1692765

It has worked wonderfully. My 2020 trailer I bought brand new came with a double spring and they both popped a month apart…after only 2 years of having it. It’s been great.

Thank you1655113

print some accurate installation instructions. my garage door install tech did not know the spring when anchored to the rod makes the drums move left and right about 3" inches or more and that crap about making the rod 1" longer than the opening on both sides is BS. The rod put a hole in my trailer trim on the inside and luckily I stop the ramp from raising to close or the rod would have plowed right through the outside skin of my trailer. I will say this, you guys are lucky it didn't put a hole in my trailer. I took over the install. restarted from scratch, cut two and a half inches off the rod. Preloaded the spring (drew a horizontal line on spring and wound the spring three times and secured to rod) with the ramp closed. Then I attached wire hardware to ramp, wound my wires up on my LH and RH drums and secured to ramp. Found this to be the setting for my ramp. Not anywhere did any instruction or person mention preload, it was just something I new to do. Please, do the R & D to develop a good set of working instructions before Your product ruins somebodies property. rate a 2 because of hole inside my trailer due to no instructions for my install guy to go by.1093036

Thank you for your review! It is important to note the warning that is posted with this product that unless you have experience working with torsion springs, you should get professional help with the installation.

Easy to find the part you need and to check out. Parts came in when they were expected.1741788

Great product, arrived ahead of schedule. I'm no professional at this but was able to install it and working perfectly. Thank you etrailer for all of your help1618613

easy install worked as described. 1691407

Great product! Not hard to install. My enclosed trailer door has went from breaking my back to pick up to now I open and close with one finger. The only thing I would improve on is maybe a couple minor details in the instructions. Be sure to hook your cables to the door before rolling the cable on to drums. It doesn't tell you to do this on the sheet of instructions! :)1028655
