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.

Poor Quality!

Would Not Recommend

The screws included are the worst quality they could use. Heads break off after short useage due to soft metal used. Don't use included screws. As well the metal wedge is too thin, I had to add an extra shim.

Pulls gate closed, but doesn’t keep closed

Would Recommend

We were hoping for something that would keep the gate closed, but it doesn’t pull very well close to where the gate is closed. It works well with a latch because the spring and momentum pull the gate closed to the latch.

Broke quickly

Would Not Recommend

Needed to have gate springs in order to meet code requirements on a fence around a pool. Purchased four springs and installed them. After a short couple of weeks, the springs would no longer close the gates resulting in multiple adjustments. Springs became deformed, permanently bending near the bolt. Finally, the coil springs separated from the bolt and has rendered them useless. Will be searching for other options for gate closures.

It works

What a simple, effective design. I've now installed four of these. If you want your gate to quickly slam shut, then you have to carefully turn a nut, and insert a small metal piece to hold the tension. It's a little tricky, but it works. For gates that just need to just gently swing shut, its super easy to just slightly tension the spring.

Looks great but broke apart during first use.

Would Not Recommend

It looks like a good spring for gates. I installed it according to the directions. Opened up my gate and the spring separated from the ends attached to my gate. I made contact with the manufacturer and am waiting for a resolution.

Broke when tightening

Would Not Recommend

I used this on a large wooden gate and it broke when tightening. I ended up getting another spring from another store.

Works well

Would Recommend

I had to install this backwards (due to our metal gate configuration) so it wouldn’t bind between the gate and brick fence but it still does the job.
