National Mfg N165-498 Door Gate Spring 11 in Satin Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N165-498 is an 11-inch adjustable-tension door and gate spring finished in satin black. It is designed to provide a positive self-closing action on gates and doors across a range of duty levels. The spring tension is fully adjustable, allowing the installer to dial in the appropriate closing force for the specific application. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers working on residential or light commercial gate and door hardware will find this spring suitable for a broad range of installations requiring reliable, automatic return action.

This spring is appropriate for use on both light-duty and heavy-duty gates or doors where a self-closing mechanism is required. Typical applications include pool gates, fence gates, screen doors, and utility access doors. The fully adjustable tension makes it adaptable to varying door weights and swing resistance levels. The satin black finish suits installations where a low-profile or dark-toned hardware appearance is preferred. Each package contains 5 springs, making it practical for multi-gate or multi-door projects.

Installation Notes

Mount the spring according to the hardware manufacturer's fastener and placement guidelines. Ensure the gate or door is properly aligned and swings freely before tensioning the spring to avoid premature wear. Follow all applicable local building codes, particularly for pool barrier gates where self-closing hardware may be subject to inspection requirements.
