{"product_id":"200mm-plated-gate-spring","title":"200mm Plated Gate Spring, Adjustable Self-Closing, For Wood, Steel and Aluminium Gates","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA simple coil spring that pulls a gate or door shut after every opening.\u003c\/strong\u003e It fixes across the hinge side of a wooden, steel or aluminium opening, with one bracket on the frame and one on the leaf. A loose bar and a locking pin come with it, so you wind in the tension you need and lock it there. The spring is 200mm long, 220mm over the brackets, with a plated finish. Two springs together are rated for a 40kg gate. Nothing is published for a single spring on its own, so plan on a pair. The price shown is for one spring, with a minimum order of 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/200mm-plated-gate-spring-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 200mm plated gate spring with its two fixing plates, tensioning bar and locking pin\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this spring works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou set the closing force on site.\u003c\/strong\u003e A gate that drags needs more tension than a light door that only has to click shut.

Measure the space across the hinge corner on the frame and the leaf before you order, because 220mm over the brackets has to fit between your fixing points. If you have the room and want a longer spring, the 265mm version is the next size up. If the gate is heavier, or you want the spring hidden inside a barrel, look at a galvanised spring closer. Where the leaf needs a controlled close, a hydraulic closer is the proper answer rather than more spring tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYou need\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChoose\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200mm spring, 220mm over the brackets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThis spring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLonger plated spring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/265mm-plated-gate-spring\"\u003e265mm plated gate spring\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanised spring closer, 100mm body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/heavy-duty-spring-gate-closer\"\u003eGalvanised spring gate closer, 100mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanised spring closer, 150mm body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/galvanised-spring-gate-closer-150mm-80kg\"\u003eGalvanised spring gate closer, 150mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControlled closing speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hydraulic-gate-closer-hinge\"\u003eHydraulic 180 degree gate closer and hinge\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the spring across the hinge side of the opening so that it stretches as the leaf opens. Mark and fix one bracket to the frame and the other to the leaf, using screws or bolts to suit the material through the 6mm holes. With the gate shut, put the bar in the spring, turn it to add tension and push the locking pin into the nearest hole to hold it. Open and release the gate to test it, then adjust a little at a time. Do not over-tension the spring, because the leaf will slam and the fixings will take the shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the bracket fixings at routine inspections and whenever the gate starts to behave differently. Wipe off dirt and a light oil on the coil will keep it moving freely, particularly on coastal or heavily used gates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the price for one spring?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the price is for one spring, and the minimum order is 6. Two springs are needed to reach the published 40kg capacity, so an order of 6 covers three gates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow much weight will it close?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe published capacity is 40kg for two springs fitted together. No figure is published for a single spring, so we would not rely on one spring for a gate of any real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I fit it to a metal gate?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is made for wooden, steel and aluminium openings. On hollow steel or aluminium sections use a fixing suited to the wall thickness, such as a through bolt or a riveted insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill it make the gate close slowly?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. A coil spring pulls the leaf shut at whatever speed the tension gives. If you need a controlled closing speed, choose a hydraulic gate closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering and delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder 6 or more online, with Express UK Delivery to your site and same-day dispatch on orders before 2pm, Monday to Friday.
