I’m trying to find a spring closer for a metal gate. But they all seem to be designed for wooden gates. Any advice. The gate is a fairly commonplace, not heavy, urban front garden gate

Hi, my spring has come with two pegs, would one be a spare do you think? Many thanks
@elizatinsley4 ай бұрын
Hi there, there should be one fixed peg and one loose in the bag.

Why do you need pilot holes? Won't it screw in anyway? Nice informative video by the way mate - thanks
@elizatinsley5 ай бұрын
Hi there. There are a few reasons why drilling pilot holes are a good idea. They prevent the wood from splitting and go into the wood much more smoothly and with less effort. It can also help with accuracy which can be crucial for precise projects. Eliza Tinsley have a screw called "Autopilot" which is a specially designed screw that doesn't require pilot holes. We've made a short video demonstrating the differences. If you''d like to see it, you can check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpTHgKOtotiGbtE

Many thanks. Makes sense.

Can you tension it so that it closes slowly? My gate is slamming shut without a spring. I want the spring to stop it slamming and to act as a slow closing spring. The spring I have allows for a peg at the top and one at the bottom.
@elizatinsley5 ай бұрын
The answer to the question is absolutely no, it can’t be used as a ‘slow closer’. They are simply designed to close the gate, the greater the tension, the quicker it ill close but it can’t slow the closing at all. There may be gate closers with a damping effect out there but I’m guessing these would be hydraulic and a much more complex installation. Good luck and hope this was of some help!

Brilliant. The peg that came with mine is very loose, looks like it'll fall out.
@elizatinsley5 ай бұрын
If the spring is sufficiently tensioned then the pegs will not fall out as they are held in tightly by the force of the spring. I hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing. The neighbor kids have been getting a kick out of opening my gate so my dog gets loose. This is exactly what I need. Thank you!!

What happens if gate opening is to the right do you tension spring same direction
@elizatinsley7 ай бұрын
Hi there! If the gate is hinged on the left-hand side, then mount the spring with the top on the gate and bottom on the post and tension clockwise (as viewed from above). Hope this helps!
