National Marker N185934 Gate and Door Spring

Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER N185934 is a spring steel gate and door spring measuring 16 inches in length with a 0.375-inch wire diameter. Built from spring steel wire with a zinc-plated finish, this spring delivers reliable tension and corrosion resistance in light-duty door and gate applications. The looped ends allow for straightforward attachment without specialized hardware. Sold individually, it is a straightforward replacement or new-installation component for residential and light commercial gate and door assemblies. Installers appreciate the no-fuss loop design that reduces setup time on the job.

This spring is intended for lightweight gates and standard doors where a simple tension-return mechanism is needed. Typical applications include screen doors, fence gates, utility enclosures, and similar light-duty swinging assemblies. The zinc-plated finish provides a basic level of moisture resistance suitable for covered or semi-exposed environments. It is a single-pack unit, making it practical for service calls and small repair jobs that require only one replacement spring at a time.

Key Features

• Spring steel wire construction provides consistent tension and return force
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for semi-exposed installations
• 16-inch length suits standard door and lightweight gate spans
• Looped ends allow for tool-minimal, fast attachment to door or gate hardware
• Sold as a single unit for targeted repair and replacement work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring for residential doors and lightweight gate assemblies requiring a 16-inch tension spring with looped ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor, handyman, or experienced DIYer without the need for specialty tools. Before installing or removing the spring, ensure the gate or door is secured in a fixed position to prevent uncontrolled movement under tension. Attach each looped end to the corresponding anchor points on the door frame and gate hardware before releasing tension. Inspect mounting points for wear or damage before installing the new spring.
