What Customers Are Saying

The gate spring product has received mixed reviews. Some customers found it easy to install, adjustable, and effective at closing gates, while many others reported issues with the product's quality and durability. The positive reviews highlight that the spring is well-made, strong, and rust-free, with an adjustable tension feature that allows controlling the gate's closing speed. However, a significant number of customers experienced problems, such as the spring breaking or popping out during installation or shortly after use, being too heavy-duty or forceful, and poor quality screws and hardware. The overall consensus is that the product works well for some customers, but many have encountered quality and durability issues.

Keeps the gate closed

Would Recommend

Really works great to the gate close and easy to install. Probably the only negative item is they do not provide any means to keep from losing the key, small price of metal, that keeps the tension. I found some and attached it to the key and spring

Not usually one to complain, but...

Would Not Recommend

I did not over torque this as I did not want it to be a danger to my grandkids. However, the lower connection on the spring snapped and now it won't torque at all. I also had to buy longer screws to connect since the ones it came with would not have supported any torque.

Poor design

Would Not Recommend

The torque adjustment mechanism includes a locking tab. The instructions are not specific enough about how it is mounted. It uses one of the mounting holes to the main body, however the hole in the locking tab is too small for the screws that are provided. They must be reamed out with a drill. I was hoping I could mount it without tightening the screw fully (and pivot it away to adjust the spring, then pivot back into place and tighten the screw more). The tab is too long to do this (another poo...

Poor design matching poor quality.

Would Not Recommend

The lock shim is not thick enough to keep the tensioner in place. It slips. The screws are really poor quality and snap. Simply avoid this one.
