How to Install a Gate Spring | Mitre 10 Easy As DIY

A gate that closes by itself is really a must, because a gate that is accidentally left open can be an invitation to enter, it can also allow for young kids and pets to escape, and you don't want that. There's an easy fix, I'll show you how to install a gate spring, so your gate will shut by itself.

My neighbours dog was always getting out, so I've ordered one of these of Amazon, greetings from Manchester England.👌

I love the subtitles - Kiwis must keep their PITS behind closed gates :)

Mate, I have watched a few of these spring installation vids (not sure why really) yours without a doubt is the best, no fuss, straight to the point. Job done. Excellent YouTubing!

[KirstyESmth]

Perfect! You explained everything so clearly and told me everything that I needed to know (including how to remove the hinge screw and attach on top of the hinge). I'm pleased to say I have now attached my own gate spring ... and it works!

Thank you mate from the UK. Mine had zero instructions and you made it so easy. Good work

Very easy and useful. I purchased the spring from Amazon and was easy to install thanks to the video.

Watched this video a few times, helped loads as we now have a self closing gate. Thanks for your guidance

Good to see you leading by example with all your safety gear squint eye safety glasses work awesome

Great vid. One thing that might be obvious to mechanically inclined people would be that you do need an auto-latch system for this to work as well. I know it's obvious, but I can see a lot of people attaching this to a dead or manual latch, and wondering why it doesn't work like in the video.

So if my gate swings outward I have to put the spring outside the gate where it's visible to everyone?
