The Clopay EZ-Set Set Screw 3/8-16 x 1/2 Cup Point is a replacement fastener for Clopay EZ-Set torsion spring assemblies on residential garage doors. It secures winding components—such as the EZ-Set winding unit or cable drums—to the torsion shaft to prevent slippage during operation. Featuring a cup-point tip that bites into the shaft for a secure hold, this 3/8-16 threaded, 1/2-inch long set screw is intended for use where the EZ-Set hardware specifies this thread and length, making it a dependable replacement when a fastener is worn, stripped, or missing.
Installation is straightforward: thread the set screw into the boss on the EZ-Set component and tighten with an internal hex driver. For safety, ensure the door is fully secured and the torsion spring is unwound before loosening or tightening any set screw; spring adjustments should be performed by qualified technicians. This component is commonly used on systems with a 1-inch torsion tube and is compatible with Clopay EZ-Set torsion spring hardware and other garage door parts that call for a 3/8-16 cup-point set screw. Always confirm thread and length against the equipment documentation to ensure proper fit and function.
