How to get Garden Gate to close more gently
My parents' garden gate is fitted with a spring on the inside which
closes the gate on opening. Unfortunately it closes a bit vigourously, you have to hold it open to stop it banging against you. It also slams loudly. What are the best options to resolve the problem? I'm thinking of things like: - rising hinges - moving the location of the spring mountings Thanks in advance Charlie |

It can be very useful, people can't creep in. Mary Charlie |
