Litepak Adjustable Screen Door Hinge Professional Grade Hardware Self-Closing Easy Install (2 Pack, Zinc Plated)

They were exactly what I needed and wanted, to replace the hinges on my gazebo door.

I purchased these hinges as replacements for existing hinges on a gate to my pool. They fit perfect and the nice thing was that both hinges were spring loaded. Normally screen door hinges come with one spring loaded hing and one with no spring.

Firstly, no instructions included!! Normally wouldn’t be a problem as should be straight forward hinge installation… right.The problems: I couldn’t figure out how to lock the spring tension. After posting the question, I had response from two other buyers (thank you) explaining that I should insert the locking pins after rotating the tension bar using the included rods. But, there were no such pins included in the package👎. Thought I would use a paper clip as an alternative. Tried inserting one end of the straitened clip into the next available hole after rotating to desired tension. Never could it to lock!! I am mechanically inclined but this one escapes me!!

Work well. Well made. Good price. Easy to install. I wouldn't use screws that come with it. Too small. The "stop" needed to insert into hole to hold tension is in screw bag. Easy to miss.

If you are installing a heavy wood screen door, take note. Either use three hinges per door or find beefier hinges. These look like decent hinges but are made of thinner metal than the hinges on the screen doors I am replacing. Because of this I am installing three hinges per door instead of the two that were on the old doors. Hopefully this will help them last quite a while.Note that the hole pattern is slightly different on the two sides of these hinges. So, if you are lining them up to mark holes to pre-drill for the screws, make sure you line them up in the direction you want to install them (ie, spring tension adjuster up or down). If you don't, your holes will not line up.

Great hinges. Self close works well

okay

Product did not include any directions. I have no idea how to adjust these hinges. Many hinges online can adjust in different directions. I assume these only adjust tension, but again I cannot figure out how.
