Clopay 0122240 EZ-Set Left Winding Unit
Genuine OEM replacement winding mechanism for the left side of compatible Clopay and Ideal Door EZ-Set torsion spring systems.
The Clopay 0122240 EZ-Set Left Winding Unit replaces a damaged or worn winding mechanism on compatible residential garage doors equipped with the Clopay EZ-Set torsion spring system.
The unit installs at the left end of the compatible spring and torsion-tube assembly. It provides the controlled mechanism used to add or release spring tension using the approved EZ-Set drill and hex-driver procedure instead of conventional torsion spring winding bars.
Left-Side Application Installs on the left side of the garage door when viewed from inside the garage looking outward.
EZ-Set Tensioning Allows controlled winding of a compatible EZ-Set spring using the prescribed drill-operated procedure.
Steel Bearing Integrated steel bearing supports the torsion tube and helps provide smooth spring-system rotation.

How to Determine the Correct Side: Stand inside the garage and face outward toward the driveway. This unit installs on the left side of the door. The right-side winding unit is Clopay part number 0122250 and is sold separately.
What the Winding Unit Does
- The winding unit connects to the compatible EZ-Set spring cone and torsion tube.
- The approved hex-driver connection is rotated according to Clopay’s installation instructions.
- The internal mechanism applies or releases spring tension in a controlled manner.
- The steel bearing supports the torsion tube as the garage door operates.
- The properly selected and tensioned spring counterbalances the weight of the door.
EZ-Set Springs Only: This winding unit must be used with a compatible gapped EZ-Set torsion spring. It will not work correctly with a standard non-gapped torsion spring, and attempting to use the wrong spring can damage or break the winding mechanism.
Not for Conventional Torsion Systems: This component is not compatible with conventional torsion systems using a solid or keyed shaft, standard winding cones, conventional cable drums, and winding bars. It is also not intended for extension spring or Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster systems.
Approved Winding Procedure: EZ-Set systems are commonly tensioned using a drill and the specified hex driver. Always follow the current Clopay instructions for the correct tool, winding direction, number of turns, spring size, and final door-balance test.
Inspect the Spring Before Installation: A broken winding unit may indicate an incorrect spring, a non-gapped spring, winding in the wrong direction, improper installation, or an unbalanced garage door. Identify and correct the underlying problem before installing the replacement.
Compatibility Notice
Verify the original part number, left-side position, EZ-Set spring type, spring gap, torsion-tube diameter, spring cone, end-bracket design, cable-drum arrangement, door weight, spring dimensions, and existing hardware before ordering. Matching only the Clopay brand does not confirm compatibility.
Additional Components Not Included: EZ-Set torsion spring, spring cone, torsion tube, cable drum, lifting cable, end bracket, shaft retainer, mounting hardware, drill, and hex driver are sold separately unless specifically stated.
Extreme-Tension Safety Warning: Garage door torsion springs store substantial mechanical energy and can cause severe injury or death if handled incorrectly. Close and secure the door, disconnect the opener, and completely release spring tension according to the current Clopay EZ-Set instructions before removing the winding unit. Never remove the unit while the spring is wound. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
