skysen 14" Fence gate Spring self Closing and Adjustable for Wooden or Vinyl Fence,Carbon Steel,Black(gate spring-14)

Super easy to install, literally took about 10 minutes. I have a wooden gate at the top of my basement stairs inside the house and this works perfect by keeping the gate closed so no one accidentally falls down those steps. I plan on buying 2 more for our outside gates.

I had a different type (like a hinge) and the old one was weak and rusted away. This one was very easy to install and it works great.

Product is easy to install, very sturdy, and works well. I had ordered two of them and one of them did not have all the holes drilled into the top for tension adjustment. An easy handyman fix on my part but the seller sent me an extra one at no charge the very next day to make up for the hassle and the inspection miss on their part. Classy move!! Three springs for the price of two!!

This a closure for a small 4X5 gate that Amazon drivers refuse to close. It took 15 minutes to install and adjust using an electric screwdriver. The adjustment was easy, but trial and error. The instructions are simple, but adequate for the job. As others have said, the mounting screws are inadequate. I bought 4 Stainless hex head screws that were 2.5" long , and the maximum size diameter of the mounting bracket holes. It works nicely. I would tension it just enough to close the gate securely, but not slam it. If the gate was much bigger, I would use two closures. I put this single14" at an angle, near the top of the gate so it wouldn't torque the gate in closing. This is in the gate's inside, which is usually the hinge side. 1/4" in from the 4X4 post, and the 2X4 of the gate frame. Look at my pics. Great product, great price. 14" size.

This door closer was easy to install, even on my metal door. The screws are quite strong and handle the spring tension well without any issues. I did encounter a couple of minor issues. First, with the adjustment settings: when I set it to the hole closest to the ideal force, the door slams too hard if opened wide. However, if I move the adjustment to the next hole, the door doesn't close completely when opened just a little, and the latch doesn't engage. Second, the pin that holds the spring feels a bit loose in its hole. While it's unlikely to fall out on its own due to the spring tension, it would be better if the hole had threading so the pin could be screwed in securely rather than just inserted. For now, I'm keeping it on the stronger setting and will add a rubber bumper to the door stop to prevent the metal from hitting the frame too hard. Despite these minor issues, it's a solid product that does the job.

These springs are exactly what I needed for my gate and they work pretty good. The reason for my three star review is because they are extremely dangerous. I almost lost a finger trying to tighten one of the springs. It sliced the tip of my finger pretty good The little metal post they give you is so dangerous. I don’t even know how they get away with it I was using a screwdriver and still had an issue be very, very cautious and careful when installing these and adjusting the spring they are what you need but they are very dangerous.

I had purchased a gate spring locally, and it was absolutely garbage. At the end of it they didn’t have a way to really secure it and the part that should be welded wasn’t and it kept breaking loose. So I took a chance ordering this one just from the picture and it works perfectly.

Well made, easy to install and they work well.
