When a worn-out torsion spring brings your project to a halt, finding the right size fast is what separates a quick fix from a frustrating delay. This 10-pack torsion spring assortment is built for home repair enthusiasts, hobbyists, and workshop professionals who need a reliable selection of spring steel coils on hand at all times.
Each set includes 10 individually wound torsion springs made from spring steel wire with a wire diameter of 0.6 mm (approximately 0.024 in). Outer diameters range from 3 mm to 8 mm (approx. 0.12–0.31 in), with coil counts of 3, 6, or 9 turns depending on the variant selected. Springs are available in left-hand and right-hand wind orientations, with leg angles of 60°, 90°, 120°, or 180° to suit a wide range of applications.
Typical use cases include cabinet door hinges, small appliance mechanisms, clock and timer assemblies, toy and model repairs, and custom jig or fixture builds — making this torsion spring set a go-to for anyone tackling small-scale mechanical torsion spring replacement or prototyping work.
Wound from spring steel wire for consistent elastic return force and resistance to fatigue under repeated torsional loading cycles.
Wire diameter 0.6 mm; outer diameter 3–8 mm; coil count 3, 6, or 9 turns — select the exact combination for your repair or build.
Available in both left-hand and right-hand wind orientations to match the rotational direction required by your mechanism.
Choose from 60°, 90°, 120°, or 180° leg angles to fit hinge, latch, and lever applications without modification.
Each order includes 10 springs of the selected specification — enough for multiple repairs or prototyping runs without reordering.
Ideal for cabinet hinges, small appliance mechanisms, clock assemblies, toy repairs, and custom jig or fixture builds requiring torsion spring replacement.

Measure the inner bore or shaft diameter your spring must fit around, then select an outer diameter slightly larger. For coil count, more coils (e.g., 9 turns) provide a longer body and softer spring rate; fewer coils (3 turns) give a stiffer, more compact spring. Match to the travel distance and torque required by your mechanism.
Wind direction determines which way the spring tightens when torque is applied. A left-hand (LH) spring winds counterclockwise when viewed from the leg end; a right-hand (RH) spring winds clockwise. To identify which you need, look at the direction the existing spring coils from the body toward the leg — or consult your mechanism's service documentation.
The leg angle is the angle between the two straight legs of the spring. Common applications: 90° for cabinet hinges and door latches; 180° for flat-mounted lever mechanisms; 60° or 120° for specialized pivot assemblies. Measure the angle between the legs of the spring you are replacing, or refer to your assembly drawing.
These springs are made from bare spring steel without a protective coating. They are suitable for dry indoor environments. For applications exposed to moisture or chemicals, consider applying a light machine oil after installation or sourcing stainless steel alternatives for your specific use case.
Bare spring steel can develop surface rust when exposed to moisture over time. For occasional outdoor use, a thin coat of protective oil or grease can extend service life. For permanent outdoor or wet-environment installations, a stainless steel torsion spring is recommended.
Exact torque ratings depend on the specific wire diameter, outer diameter, coil count, and material modulus. With a 0.6 mm wire diameter, these springs are designed for light-duty applications such as small hinges, latches, and appliance mechanisms. For precise torque calculations, use standard torsion spring formulas with the selected coil geometry, or contact us to confirm suitability for your load requirements.
Insert the spring body over the pivot pin or shaft. Hook or seat each leg against its respective stop or anchor point in the mechanism. Ensure the wind direction matches the direction of applied torque so the spring tightens (not unwinds) under load. Test the mechanism through its full range of motion before final assembly.
