Merriway BH00057 Gate Spring Black 200mm -1 Pcs

Don't read all the other negative reviews, they are written by people with absolutely no common sense. If you pretension the spring with the tool provided, the pins are going nowhere. Had mine on for over a month with the posty and Amazon delivery dude giving it a hammering every day and the pins are going nowhere.

Great quality for the price

Item has to be cranked to tension then add small retaining pins they fell out after few days spring doesn’t seem to close the gate effectively more miss than hit

Good

The pins simply don't remain in place over the long term. I'd expect the pins to remain for a many years, they popped out within 2 weeks of use. Holes for pins need to be deeper and pins tighter fit to avoid them working themselves out of place. They didn't cost much - and you get what you pay for. So if you are prepared to fashion a more permenant pin solution then the spring itself functions.

I'm very happy with this, very easy to install however I did have to watch a YouTube video as it didn't have instructions. As a DIY novice, it was still very simple and its doing its job well.

The spring is much too stiff and inflexible, when I installed it and opened the gate to test it was very stiff. Sadly the metal that holds the spring on is not very strong and immediately bent under the tension. I don’t know how to reconcile being able to open the gate and not destroying the hinges.

my small wooden gate is only about a meter squared, but I wanted the extra security of a spring to make sure the gate would close and thus prevent our pet terrier from doing a runner from the back garden.As other reviewers have commented here there are no instructions that come with the spring, 4 screws, 2 pins and 1 longer pin for tension adjusting. However, it didn't take too long to realise what was required, and once I had drilled the spring on the inside of the gate, and butted up against the top hinge, it was easy to adjust the tension and pop in the pin to the appropriate hole and let it rest tightly against the backplate.For added security I squirted a couple of blobs of super glue over each pin, as reviewers have remarked how they can sometimes pop out for no reason at all. I also added a blob of WD40 to prevent any possible squeaks or rust contamination.So now I have a gate that closes by itself. I can't comment as yet with regards the continued durability of the spring and the troublesome (for some) pins. But for the moment I am happy with my purchase. It is just a shame that basic instructions were not included as it shouldn't be necessary for someone to go searching on YouTube for help.-------------------------Update 23/05/2020A week in, and the spring is still working very well. However, one important thing I should point out is that it DOES NOT WORK WELL IN STRONG WINDS!Over the last couple of days we've had gales of up to 45 mph, and as a consequence if you keep the gate off the latch, it will remain closed unless a gust of wind catches it and subsequently overwhelms the strength of the spring, resulting in the gate swinging wide open for the duration.This should be born in mind should you have pets or children in your secured garden.

bonne performance pour fermer de façon tonique une porte, idéal pour les portails en extérieurs, la peinture semble de bonne qualité.

Bon petit ressort qui me sert pour la porte de jardin reste fermée facile à mettre en place maintenant à voir ce qu'il vaut dans le temps livraison rapide comme d'hab. Bref que du bonheur.

A fermé la portail. Mais c'est inutile.

Très bien pour garder les portes fermées...

Que voulez vous donc que je fasse comme commentaire sur un simple ressort ?Je l'ai acheté chez vous pour la simple raison que ça m'a évité de me taper 60 kilomètres en voiture pourvisiter des magasins qui n'en n'ont pas ou même qui ne savent pas ce que c'est...C'est ça le commerce, maintenant.Ils disparaîtront, mais ils auront tout fait pour.
