I was about to install that as a tension for my gate to bring it up from sagging, but then I saw your gate lifter. Headed back to Lowe’s now. That’s exactly what I needed
It’s working great for me! I’ve added a little more tension and it brought the gate right back up to level. A simple and easy fix! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍👍
Excellent video Dan! Thank you very much I was just getting ready to put twist and I noticed always always always put a few drops of glue in the hole before I run the screw-in it's just a little tip to help
It’s still working great! Note: the gate lift kit is a definite plus. Not sure if you watched it, so here’s a link to that project: czcams.com/video/zAgYT_v0hCc/video.html Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It’s still working just fine. The combination of the closer and the gate lift is definitely a good addition. The lift is easy to adjust if there’s any new sagging. I’ve not needed to adjust the closer spring at all.👍
Although I’m not an expert….. I measured my gate and it’s 2 inches short of being 5 foot. It’s 42 inches tall. I installed the 14 inch spring and have not had any problems. That being said, the 14 inches is the total length for the entire mechanism. The spring itself is about 11 inches. So I’d go with the 14” version. 👍👍
You’re welcome. A simple thing that’s really worth doing! Combined with the lifting strap. (Hopefully you watched that video too? Here’s a link: czcams.com/video/zAgYT_v0hCc/video.html 👍👍
Combined with this lifting strap works great. I have adjusted it a couple of times. Here’s the lifting strap video: czcams.com/video/zAgYT_v0hCc/video.html Thanks for watching!👍
At about 2 minutes 10 seconds into the video you can clearly see I’m turning clockwise, but then after the tab is inserted, the bolt springs counter clockwise as it locks in place…. But that’s only about 1/4 inch and is front the spring tension pushing it that way. Hope that helps and makes sense 👍
I’ve not had any issues like that? Mine is mounted vertically so the pin rest’s on the support bolt. Maybe put a drop of adhesive on the pin so it won’t slide? Or add more tension to see if that holds the pin tight.

@@BoilerDan1 Man your property is breathtaking, great work!
Thank you! A craftsman appreciates his work being appreciated 😂
Useful. I am a 66yr old woman on my o wn and my gates keep being left open. This should solve the problem so I don’t have to worry about my dogs.
Yes, it will work great for your needs!
Thanks for watching 👍👍.
Excellent video Dan! Thank you very much I was just getting ready to put twist and I noticed always always always put a few drops of glue in the hole before I run the screw-in it's just a little tip to help
Thanks for contributing on the topic.
I hadn’t thought about that. If they loosen up I’ll give glue a shot!
Thanks for watching 👍
A jack of all trade, a master of none, still better off, than a master of one
Brought a smile to my face. 😂
You summed up my life story in one short poem 👍😂👍
Glad to hear! My gate is now self closing, thanks to you!
You’re welcome.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to be appreciative 👍
Thank you! My spring is a little different and I wasn't 100% how to install it but your video helped tremendously. 😊

Nice yard !
Thanks, although lawn care is provided in this condo complex, I still do mine as another hobby! Appreciate your noticing 👍👍
Great video!

Great video, my gate is approx 4 feet wide, do I use a 12 or 14 inch spring?
Although I’m not an expert…..
I measured my gate and it’s 2 inches short of being 5 foot. It’s 42 inches tall. I installed the 14 inch spring and have not had any problems.
That being said, the 14 inches is the total length for the entire mechanism. The spring itself is about 11 inches.
So I’d go with the 14” version.
👍👍
I’m rethinking my response! The smaller spring should also work….. pick either one 👍😂👍.
@@BoilerDan1 thank you!!!

Back of package says counter clockwise, but the sticker on these things say clockwise.
At about 2 minutes 10 seconds into the video you can clearly see I’m turning clockwise, but then after the tab is inserted, the bolt springs counter clockwise as it locks in place…. But that’s only about 1/4 inch and is front the spring tension pushing it that way.
Hope that helps and makes sense 👍
Imma try this right now.... wish me luck
It’s easy! I’m sure by the time you read this , you’ll be done and booming with pride! 😂👍
@@BoilerDan1 so true 😋😋😋 tks so much
Thank you for watching! And letting me know that you’re out there.😁👍
@@BoilerDan1 that's for sure 😉
Why do tension pins keep falling out
I’ve not had any issues like that? Mine is mounted vertically so the pin rest’s on the support bolt. Maybe put a drop of adhesive on the pin so it won’t slide? Or add more tension to see if that holds the pin tight.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! It’s been installed now for a few months and works very well 👍👍
