Now that you've had a little (a Lot?) turkey, or about to, and you have just a few minutes, I need a hand. I am rebuilding my 51 1/2 ton door hinges.
A while ago, there were a few posts on who had the better replacement hold open springs. I remember that some of the springs that were offered were weak and would break very quickly. I did run a search, but I didn't find the answer.
Can anyone tell me where they got good hold open springs?
Thanks,

The new ones seem to be fine so far. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 200 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 200 | Thanks rd. I knew there was a problem with some of the springs. I appreciate the help.
