What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these springs for durability, reliability, and seamless performance across diverse applications. Most report successful replacements with phrases like "worked perfectly" and "works like a charm," particularly for gates, recliners, screen doors, and outdoor equipment. Many appreciate the easy installation and correct sizing, with looped ends eliminating extra hardware needs. Reviewers commend the sturdy, well-made construction and chrome-like finish resisting weathering. The versatility impresses customers who use them for attic doors, dishwashers, and specialized equipment. A few note tension occasionally runs slightly weak for heavy gates or requires manual bending, but these isolated concerns are vastly outweighed by strong satisfaction and repeat purchases.

It is an extension spring, works great.

Would Recommend

I used this spring to keep a swinging door shut. It was easy to mount and did a great job on the lightweight door.

Good product but could be a little stronger

Would Recommend

I bought this to replace an old spring on a screen door that was rusted. The length was right for a screen door but the spring force was not strong enough to close the door reliably. I will either need to move the screw eye or get a stronger spring. This product seemed like it was quality and I would buy it again.

Mediocre spring

Would Not Recommend

Needed a fairly strong spring for closure mechanism. Unfortunately this one is weak for its wire size (0.105") and coil configuration (which matched my original spring). This one is OK if you do not need much power in your application.

Glad Lowe's carries stuff like this!

Would Recommend

The Springs were a good match for my recliner. It probably wasn't the intended use, but I could not find replacement springs until I tried the hardware section at Lowe's.

hooked on this product

Would Recommend

It's not as solid as I thought but is adequate for the job. My door was not lined up perfectly so it was the best item to use.
