Description
This 12″ extension spring is a replacement tension spring for a bottom-hinged Wilkinson chute door. It acts as a door closer, helping the intake door return to the closed position after use on trash chute and laundry chute doors.
How the Extension Spring Works
As the door opens, the spring stretches and stores tension. As a result, when the door is released, the spring helps pull it back toward the closed position. Moreover, a properly working closer keeps the chute door from being left open, which supports building cleanliness and safety.
Dimensions and Material
This tension spring measures 13 inches from end to end, and exactly 12 inches from the coil to the other end of the coil. In addition, the width of the spring is 1/2 inch. It is made of carbon steel, so it holds up well to repeated daily cycling on a busy chute door.
Fits Bottom Hinged Chute Doors
This part is designed for bottom-hinged doors on trash chute and laundry chute systems. Therefore, it is a straightforward replacement when your existing closer spring has weakened or broken. Please compare the measurements to your current spring before ordering to confirm the fit.
