National Hardware - V850 11" Door Spring

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was time to update my gate spring because mine was old and no longer working properly. I liked this one because it is made by a company that has been around for over a century and because the glossy black finish would dress up my gate. It was easy to install with the 4 screws that are included. A great feature is that it can be adjusted to close at your desired speed. After installation, just adjust the spring tension by tightening the nut on top then install the stopper to prevent rotation. This spring should be installed on the side of the gate with the hinges so that it pushes the gate closed. It is not intended to be on the inside of the gate where it extends and pulls it closed. When installed properly it works perfectly. I'm happy to have my gate automatically closing again. This steel gate spring is heavy-duty, works great, and is sure to be long-lasting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this spring to use on a gate on our deck. It's nice looking, great quality and sturdy. I can't attest to its function because I need a different size. I will get the same brand because of its quality though! It's finished in a gloss black enamel of high Quality and seems corrosive proof!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having to alway shutting the back gate because when the grandchildren come over they seem to always forget inside happen to find a simple solution to my problem. The gate spring was so simple to install, and with the convenient way to adjust its tension on the spring I can get the get to automatically close as fas or as slow as I need it to. It is black coated to match the other gate hardware. The perfect solution

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gate spring got the job done well. It was easy to install and now I don't have to worry about my kids leaving the gate open for the dogs to escape from the yard. The materials are high quality and should hold up for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added this spring to our backyard gate that the grand kids constantly left open allowing the dog to sneak out. Spring installation is straightforward and easy, allows for tension adjustment which we played with a little to get just right. It works very well and I like the lower tension for a slower smoother close. The black finish goes well with hinges and latch we've just replaced.
