National Mfg N185-942 Door Gate Spring Zinc 6-pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N185-942 is a zinc door and gate spring designed for residential and light commercial gate and door closure applications. Supplied in a pack of 6, each spring features looped ends for straightforward installation without specialty tools. The zinc construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor use on fence gates, screen doors, and utility enclosures. Four diameter sizes are available across the product line to accommodate various door and gate frame configurations, making this an adaptable choice for contractors and maintenance professionals who stock multiple closure hardware sizes.

This spring is suited for light-duty gate and door closure needs in residential fencing, pool enclosures, garden gates, and utility panel doors. It is commonly installed by general contractors, fence installers, pool service technicians, and maintenance staff. The looped-end design allows attachment to standard hook hardware already present on most gate frames, reducing the need for additional mounting hardware on retrofit installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fence contractors, pool service technicians, or general maintenance staff. No power source needs to be shut down prior to installation, but gate latches and surrounding hardware should be secured to prevent unexpected movement during spring attachment. Standard hand tools are sufficient for most installations. Verify spring tension and loop attachment security before returning the gate to service.
