Just like the one on the top hex head bolt. **Q: does it matter which end of the self closing gate spring is up or down** A: No , but it’s best to have the end with the adjustment up . **Q: I have a 6' tall by 10' long chain link gate, would I need two of these?** A: It's hard to tell. A single spring easily handles my wooden gate, but it's only 26 sq. ft., as opposed to your 60. Why not try using one spring, and then add a second if that proves inadequate? **Q: Does it matter which direction the gate opens?** A: No it will not matter which way the gate opens. It is set by the way you set the spring. One way will pull the gate closed the other will push it closed. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hardware Essentials 851838 Stainless Steel Self-Closing Gate Spring, Adjustable Tension, 12 Inch - Hardware Essentials 853340 Universal Gate Latch Stainless Steel, 1 Piece - National Hardware N349-001 V671 Pull in Stainless Steel,6-1/2" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11738031-hardware-essentials-851838-stainless-steel-self-closing-gate-spring-adjustable](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11738031-hardware-essentials-851838-stainless-steel-self-closing-gate-spring-adjustable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
