National Marker N185942 Gate and Door Spring 16 in X 0.5 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER N185942 is a spring steel gate and door spring designed for use on lightweight gates and standard doors. Constructed from spring steel wire with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this spring measures 16 inches in length with a 0.5-inch diameter. Looped ends allow for straightforward attachment without specialized tooling. The zinc-plated coating provides a layer of protection against rust in typical indoor and outdoor installations. Sold individually, this spring is a practical replacement or new-install component for gate and door tensioning applications.

This spring is intended for residential and light commercial door and gate applications. It is well suited for screen doors, lightweight fence gates, cabinet doors, and similar low-load tensioning needs. The looped-end design makes it compatible with standard hook hardware and mounting brackets commonly found in these installations. It is not rated for heavy industrial gates or high-cycle commercial door applications. Contractors, maintenance technicians, and knowledgeable DIYers working on door and gate hardware will find this a straightforward replacement component.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor, maintenance technician, or experienced DIYer using basic hand tools. Ensure the gate or door is fully closed and any existing spring tension is fully released before removing the old spring. Secure both looped ends firmly to the mounting hardware before allowing the door or gate to cycle. Verify that the mounting points can support the spring load before completing the installation.
