How to adjust a spring gate closer?
I have a spring on my wooden gate and it's too loose. It no longer closes the gate like it's supposed to. How do I adjust the spring gate closer so it will close?

Well your solution is pretty easy. One side of the wood gate spring closer is attached to the hinge post and the other side of the spring is attached to the wood gate.
Unless the spring gate closer is work out, or simply won't spring back into place, you can remove one side, and reattach the spring, bringing more tension to the party!
If the spring is worn out, I suggest picking up a new one.
