How To Make A Gate Self-Closing With A Gate Spring

[@nursejean5]

Can you Zoom out so we can see what you are talking about?

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Next video! Thanks for the note.

[@AuraScopes]

No kidding 😂

[@Machine1775]

Like...let's record a video and not show what you're trying to show. Total boomer.

[@patg4924]

So flipping annoying😂

[@Raulcane69]

You feel me?

[@ManoloFernandez434]

all shots are too close to see how you installed the spring... I wish you shown the whole gate

[@Pikachewblee]

This needs a re do so that you can actually see what is going on

[@richardhyppa1967]

Perspective, please. The video is zoomed too much, we cannot see the whole area or even the whole spring.

[@mjsoup29]

I have to repeat what others have said. I am waiting for you to zoom out so we can see the entire gate. Even when you’re demonstrating the gate all you see is that wooden part but not even the entire gate or the springs. It would be an excellent video if you had some distance from the gate to be able to see how it operates, positions of the springs etc. as a whiter picture than the close-ups of the actual springs themselves.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback. Will follow this up with more videos

[@shankarsubramanian8767]

how are we suposed to know what u wish to show

[@Dlemonaid]

Too close, can’t view entire gate

[@kellyhaywood794]

how you know what size spring you need 14" 10" 8"??

[@HelpAtMyHome]

They will depend on your door but I’m using a 14” which is a typical size for a pre-made wood panel door

[@singh11373]

Could not see anything

[@lindahurtubise2227]

Wat to close with the video. can't see what's happening. Size of fence. Etc

[@idiotsrus3410]

I for one would like to see it zoomed in closer. We aren't able to see the microscopic structure of the metal spring. Why would you not zoom in super close to reveal the atomic alignment within the spring? Please take the time to reshoot the video.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m well prepared for macro work.

[@vijaydattaoak669]

Full video is zoom mode. Can't see the opening and closing action.

[@resigningstars]

2:08 THANK YOUUUUUUU, i had no idea what the little metal stick was for. I thought we got a faulty item 😅😅

[@tysonschaffert8711]

go easy on the close ups.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback! Noted.

[@venetiajudy217]

I really appreciate your efforts. However, i need it zoomed out on the video.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Noted!

[@kevbob]

Ok, I used one of these. I bought the Everbuilt kit from Home Depot. The instructions say maximum 3 turns, but after experience, and after what you describe, it’s just moving the screw no more than 180°, or three “flats” as I think you explained it. I tried to do it 3 full turns and the little stop doohickey got launched like a bullet and embedded in another part of the fence. Realllllly terrible instructions by the manufacturer. So people, this poster is right, don’t over tighten the top hex bolt. I’m gonna get a second one of these as you recommended.

[@PhotographyInFlight4183]

Did you mount those on the inside of the gate?

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Yes. With the door swinging in

[@PhotographyInFlight4183]

@@HelpAtMyHome Copy that.

[@boguitar1602]

@@HelpAtMyHomethat’s exactly what I’d need- but door hinge is on the other side, would the top still be on the gate or would it be reversed the top on the post if the door swings in but from the right?

[@saramiller3228]

Thank you, super helpful

[@LewisRhymes]

4:29 is plasterboard screw id replace it for a wood screw!

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Good catch thanks!

[@deedeecoravos7410]

Camera was zoomed in TOO close. Why did we watch the whole thing looking at 2 - 4" of the spring? The camera should have zoomed out to see whole door & where spring was in relation to hinges.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback

[@lcoop89]

Wow too much close up lol - no good backed off overview of the thing working 😢

[@BDAShadow1]

Your diagonal gate brace is on the wrong way, it's not supporting anything like that.

[@timgerrard1611]

Could you zoom in a bit?

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Guessing this is sarcasm, not a request for a macro view of my fence. If so, duly noted and I appreciate your feedback and humor. Thank you.

[@stumarksez]

Bringing all the Karens out. 😂

[@marcuswilson6339]

Why didn’t you zoom out??

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Next time! Thanks for the feedback

[@WIG23]

Good grief man. Shoot that tight enough????? Wow.

[@cordearodeherrera7016]

Where's the next video?

[@rkaraidos]

Can you pan a little closer please

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Hold on I need to get my microscope. Sorry guys. I’ll do better next time!

[@strandgs]

Zoom out & actually open the gate so we can see it’s effectiveness

[@saulcarrasco6279]

👎cuz ge didn't zoomed out

[@stumarksez]

sadly, your camera zoom is too tight most of the time. Need more visual information. Your dialogue is great, wonderful talk through. I bought the exact parts you are talking about here from Lowe’s, so that helped me. Maybe the video rendered in a cut down frame. Not sure. Thx thx. Good over all.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Noted. Thanks for comment. And glad your gate is improved!

[@georgannedermigny5992]

this is too zoomed in to see what you did

[@Justanotherchannelq]

5 mins of my life ill never get back waiting for you to zoom out. A simple picture would have done better. And I had to watch 2 ads 😂fml

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[@theticksupreme3322]

Like a 6 inch window man!!!!

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Yea my bad. My other videos have improved technique.

[@ummagowa]

The diag brace on door is reversed

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Yes! Previous owner was not as careful with some things as I would have liked

[@mitchell5271]

Hey dude, next time zoom back from the spring or gate so we can have a general view of the gate and the lenght of the springs as well as where it connects at the top and bottom. This video is a waiste of my time.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback

[@marklopez3435]

​@HelpAtMyHome yeah this was terrible

[@miltonir36]

Video is to close view

[@liopass]

yeah zoom out please we don't see anything

[@ErnestPiffel]

Stopping deer? 😂

[@HelpAtMyHome]

6-7ft fence will stop deer pretty reliably so long as it’s impossible for them to see through. They can jump it but I’ve found that they won’t

[@ErnestPiffel]

sorry sorry. Pardon my ignorance. Deers just sound so exotic where I come from. I wouldn't bat a eye over a wallaby but no deer. Thanks for the great vid. I'm back from the hardware now;; ready to give it a go!

[@Blahmanwhysoserious]

Someone got a new 55mm lens lol

[@amcc2531]

A Socket would have saved destroying the top paintwork

[@charrona260]

Film way too close! Not helpful

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@otaner2545]

cannot see

[@jeremyrichmond8764]

Zoom in a little closer, and don’t show the action 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mikehanratty4300]

Probably the worst video I’ve seen of trying to describe a product.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Well at least it’s notable in some regard. Thanks for the feedback

[@lindamorgey6736]

I did the same with Woodglut :)

[@cq-fo7pm]

you have been showing the spring for five minutes, you don't need a video at all, you should just post a photo.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thsnks for the feedback

[@consciousalliance1608]

Worst instructional video makes me crazy never zooms out to get a better view of the overall spring.(*&)^

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback

[@le6tat]

Who in the hell is recording this video? You might as well just point it at the sky

[@onesri6108]

I have a headache

[@MaxairEngineering]

WTH???

[@petermathieson7672]

Not too useful. Should start with the big picture to see gate size etc.

[@aec062859]

Too close and made me dizzy going up and down. Frustrating

[@JustGG1956]

Waaaaaaaaay too long with the talking and not fast enough with demonstrating

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback

[@AJ-jg4xi]

Poor videography

[@Geo1Lakers]

Pretty bad recording.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Appreciate the feedback

[@timh.2137]

Wow your camera work is completely undesirable! It has pretty much rendered this video useless!

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback

[@georgeheidemann7466]

Your cameras work is not that great!

[@HelpAtMyHome]

I’m getting better, check out the new videos!

[@XOneStarX]

Horrible camera work. Way too zoomed in. Cant tell what you did at all. Thumbs down.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback. Later videos have improved (a little)

[@steveo6631]

horrible... its like watching through a magnifying glass...

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Appreciate the feedback

[@KhaledEl-Dalati]

This is a terrible video. The explanations are useless and there is very little explanation of the angle of installation, how far to install it and if it will allow for complete closure. The filming is too close and does not show the full screen. Redo or remove to stop wasting peoples time.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@gigiamharic468]

he camera person is awful so moving on to another video

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@AnaLazarus]

Horrible video, can't see anything

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback

[@bruceczarnecki1999]

Poor video, not helpful at all.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Sorry to hear that. Appreciate the feedback

[@josephlamadrid1799]

Don’t ever do another video again if you can’t do it properly.

[@HelpAtMyHome]
