Midwest Fasteners 18518 1/4" x .032" x 2-7/16" Steel Extension Spring

Midwest Fasteners 18518 1/4" x .032" x 2-7/16" Steel Extension Spring

The Midwest Fasteners 18518 is a 1/4" x .032" x 2-7/16" steel extension spring built for general repair and maintenance work where a small-diameter wire gauge spring is needed to provide consistent pulling tension. Constructed from steel wire measuring .032" in diameter, this extension spring has a 1/4" body diameter and an overall length of 2-7/16", making it a compact option for tight assemblies, latches, and light-duty mechanisms. It is supplied as a Carded Pack, so technicians and shop buyers can grab it directly off the rack for quick replacement jobs without needing to source a bulk box. Because extension springs work by stretching under load and pulling back to their original length, this size is well suited to small hardware, screen doors, garage door assist linkages, toolboxes, and similar equipment where a reliable steel spring is needed in a compact footprint.
