Thank you! We're happy to be of service!

That’s clear! Thanks!

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

I have a 6 ft gate that I cannot get out of in high wind. The latch gets pinned by the wind any ideas for different easy to open latch pls

Hi, my spring has come with two pegs, would one be a spare do you think? Many thanks

[@elizatinsley]

Hi there, there should be one fixed peg and one loose in the bag.

[@jamierichmond1434]

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.

[@elizatinsley]

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

Hello sir I want is door spring please inform by details

[@ghengis430]

Brilliant. The peg that came with mine is very loose, looks like it'll fall out.

[@elizatinsley]

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!

[@ghengis430]

@@elizatinsley hi, thanks, it wasn't clear where it sat. Worked it out in the end 🙂

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to make and post this. Was looking for exactly the info you provided in “keeping it vertical” etc. I owe you a beer, Cheers from Australia 👍👍🍻

What happens if gate opening is to the right do you tension spring same direction

[@elizatinsley]

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!
