Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard household tools, primarily a drill for pilot holes and a screwdriver. Ensure the mounting surface is solid wood to support the tension of the spring.
- Position the spring on the frame and gate, ensuring alignment with the gate hinges.
- Secure the base using the provided screws.
- Insert the locating pins and use the adjusting pin to reach the desired tension level.
- Test the door swing and adjust the tension pin as needed to achieve the preferred closing speed.
For ongoing care, wipe the spring clean occasionally to remove debris and apply a light machine oil to the coils annually to ensure smooth operation and long-term protection against the elements.
