XFORT® Heavy Duty Gate Spring Closer, Fully Adjustable Tension Garden Gate and Garden Door Closer (200mm Black)

It rusted up & broke within a few months not really what I needed with an escape artist dog. I wanted to make sure gate would stay closed

The media could not be loaded. We were a little nervous ordering this due to all the negative reviews but I'm glad we went with our common sense and ability to research and werent disappointed works well so far and took 10 mins to install. For us worked better in middle of gate than the top.That said the tensioner tool seems a bit flimsy and one of the rivets was slightly bigger amd was difficult to put in place. Also there were no instructions so can see why people have issues.Pros +Easy to install (if you know what you're doing)Quick job.Closes gate well once tensioned.Cons -No instructions (if you don't know what you are doing)Tensioner tool flimsy did slip once and nearly injured my partner.The rivets were slightly off and needed a mallet.

This should be a product which does what it says on the tin, but unfortunately this product is wholly inadequate and I'd go as far as saying not not fit for purpose.The spring itself seems sturdy enough but the provided pins and the tension bar are very poor quality and don't fit the holes in the top and bottom of the spring. I managed to fit the supplied pins by using a 3.5mm drill bit as the tension bar as the provided one simply kept slipping out of the holes. I managed to get enough tension on the spring to close my wooden gate and thought "job done"......until the following morning when my wife told me it had gone "ping" when she opened the gate. Not only inconvenient but downright dangerous, had she or my young children had been opening the gate from the other side, those pins going off like rockets could have caused serious damage.I've fashioned my own pins out of sawn pieces of hardened drill bit shank and again used the drill bit method for the tension bar and so-far so good, but I didn't expect to have to bodge the job less than 24 hours after fitting.I would suggest the manufacturer look at the design of the pins and the tension bar, they appear to be about 3mm diameter when they could do with being 3.5mm to fit more snugly in the holes in the spring.

Even installed as required, it doesn't work as expected. Cannot recommend this average quality product

There is nothing wrong with this product except the pins 😡😡😡 the springs work well it only becomes a problem when you first or later on you have to tighten them up and you have to put your pins into place ( this holds the tightened spring in place ). I found the pins fiddly and not very snug/fit table it took me several attempts to get the pins to stay in the holes on my second one ( I bought 2 ) slightly better still as bad ( the pins ) . On my first one I know have to find a split pin or something as when I tried to adjust it the pins that just fell out and I could only find one

No instruction as to which way to wind tensioner and therefore I wound it the wrong way. No hassle to reverse.

The spring is quite weak and the pins are either loose or very tight to the point I had to use a hammer to knock it in... It wasn't easy both holding the spring tightener in place and the pin and hit the pin with a hammer... See picture 2 from tightening the spring! It was straight...The fact that the spring can't be tightened that much makes it pretty weak. I had to use a screw driver wedged between the pin and bracket to twist the bracket to the angle shown and this only just closes the gate to without pulling it to the catch.It closes the gate but the amount of effort to get it installed due to badly fitting pins and the weak 'tool' to tighten it makes it a faff to install. It neither feels nor looks like a quality product.

Great product , workd exactly like it should , great price

Ressort utilisé pour le portillon de mon poulailler.Ce n'est pas de la plus grosse qualité, un petit loquet s'est barrémais ça fait le job

Monté sur une porte extérieure, n'a pas la force ne serais-ce que de la maintenir ...De plus la rouille est apparue dès la première averse.Direction "poubelle"; un achat pour rien

Très bon produit . Conforme à la description

Les outils fournis pour tendre le ressort ne sont pas bien adaptés, rendant difficile la mise sous tension et abimant les têtes du ressort. Les vis fournies sont de mauvaises qualité.Le ressort n'est plus utilisable après 6 mois.

Bon produit facile à mettre en fonction et efficace. Très bonne chaine logistique
