In general, if you need to remove part or all of the door to close the trailer, then no, that part of the door must remain since it
The opening is 1/8" in diameter.
There are four springs with a diameter of 1/4 inch, each about 12 inches long. Typical screen door hinges have a diameter of 1/2" and a length of 2 to 3 feet. If you want cable protectors, head to an electronic store
If it worked on the drawers, I don't think it would work on the cabinet doors. Upon learning how to open and enter the door, my dog used it on my back door so it would close automatically by itself.

As I did it, here is what I did. As far as reviewing these springs was concerned, I was not going to bother They're already known for being great, pretty much everyone says so. It is now possible to foresee the phrase "Close the door!" It is far less common to hear him being greeted or sent on his way by verbal expressions. Because of the instructions, however, I decided to throw in my 2 cents. Other reviewers have noted that the instructions are inadequate. As far as I can tell, As I struggled to match the instructions to the pictures (which I found confusing), I finally stopped trying to match the instructions to the pictures. Once that was done, everything became pretty simple. I had to realize that the spring would be completely hidden within the gap between the screen door and the outer door when the outer door was There is quite a bit of gap on the hinge side between the two doors, in case you didn't notice (I hadn't seen it). It's where the spring lives. Here is a list of the tools Pilot holes are drilled with a screwdriver bit and (I believe) a 1/8 drill bit in a cordless drill. The installation I used to work for me is as follows * 1 . Place the RV on the ground outside, with the outer door zipped open and the screen door zipped 1. 2. You can find the hinge in the top part of the screen door. 2.
No, the jam's not the problem). You can trust that nothing will go wrong As if it just came out of nowhere. Item 4. That same screw needs to be threaded through one of the spring's end holes, and it needs to be screwed again right into the door/hinges as it was originally. At this point, the spring is just hanging from the hinge of the door. This is *br. 5. Draw a mark on the jamb of the door close to the screen door after measuring down nine inches. Assuming that you image BOTH doors closed, you will see this In between the doors is where that mark will be located. The sixth point. Pilot holes should be drilled at that location. 7.
One screw from the kit should be inserted through the loose end of the This is 8. Screw the spring in until the screw meets the pilot hole after stretching the spring down. Your task has been completed One spring will suffice if all you need is one. As for the second spring, you will follow the same procedure if you (like me) require both springs - as you did for the first. However, the hinge should be in a downward position rather than a top to bottom hinge. As a result, measure and attach the same 9 inch spring to the jam. In other words, the springs are stretching against each other in mirror image, thus giving you twice the strength in closing. I love how simple it is to install, the springs work great, and they stop that annoying squeaking sound.
A few things went differently for me during installation. The spring was used in conjunction with a screw already installed in the screen frame on the wall I just pulled it up a little bit and screwed it into the I think it took me 3 minutes to finish. I love it!.
Both closed properly after I fixed them. I had two doors that were giving me issues one didn't stay open (bathroom), and the other wouldn't During the day, when the door closed in the bathroom, it looked as if someone was in there when it was In the case of the back door, it used to remain open when someone came in or out and I wouldn't manually close it. This would allow insects to enter and my dogs to leave. I decided that all I needed were just these springs after going through several more expensive closers. Installation is easy and the design is simple, so there are fewer things to break or go wrong. Depending on how tight or loose you install the spring, you can alter the force at which the door closes. The only thing you must watch out for is that you will need to be more careful around the door (that closes) since it can close on you as you walk and catch your hand or finger.
It's been so long since I had this? I don't know how I survived without it. We had no problem with the screen door, whether the kids let bugs in, or I had my hands full carrying food to the fire pit. We hated the way my hubby looked at the screen door. POOed me when I told him I had ordered it, so when it arrived I had to do the installation It's now a hit with all of us. Using one spring only, I was able to gently pull the door back and latch it. For the price of one, I'm offering two!.
Others have noted that 1 is plenty strong to shut the door without slamming it. You will not be able to latch the door if you open it only a few inches. However, if you open the door as if you were walking out, the latch engages and it will shut tight. I believe that adding a second spring will make the door slam too hard. But it is nice to have a backup spring in case you have to use This screw was fastened to the outside of the screen door (where the hinge attaches), using the existing screw on the outside of the door. Depending on where I am going to put it, I've got to measure up 9" (as indicated by the directions) and drill a hole such that the spring fits between the screen door and the outside door when both of them are The following is a translation from the German language In case you didn't get it You can see the spring connecting the hinge on the screen door to the frame of the door when standing outside the camper with its screen door closed. For my part, I found the directions a little confusing due to the pictures. Rather, it looks like they are telling you to put the spring inside Putting it in another way might involve having the spring drag across the frame when you open the door, causing damage or causing noise to the frame.
My way of installing it makes no noise (the spring does not rub against anything), and it works great. Before installing the spring, make sure that there is ample space between your outside door and your screen door. It would be great if you could post a picture when you get a chance. A picture with notes is attached to this post. The spring worked well during the five days we spent out in the camper. Just one spring is enough to close the screen door, and it will also pull the combined screen and the door closed. Those on the exterior have closed their doors. The door is not tightly shut, but it is closed (but not too hard for it to latch). It seems to me that I should leave it at that. One spring can be used as the main spring, the second can serve as the backup spring.
Stretch one of these springs over a cardboard oatmeal cylinder, a plastic takeout container, and a plastic take-out container. By creating a membrane, the plastic container creates a barrier. It vibrates and makes a thunderous noise against the sides of the oatmeal cylinder due to the screen. You must wiggle the oatmeal cylinder while holding it with the extend spring hanging down. There you go! Play around with it and have fun. You'll need about 10 minutes to complete this. YouTube has a video explaining how to do this.
