while he was here, my son-in-law searched online for a spring for the patio door to replace the one which had broken ages ago…
he found one, ordered it, and it arrived on Friday, well after he left for home… there were no instructions, but I figured out how it should work…
it came with stickers to hold it to the wall and door, but they wouldn’t work for my situation…
I dug out two screws that were just the right size… from all the containers in the garage, lol… then I found a drill bit to start the holes so the wood wouldn’t split…
used the sticker as a template and made the holes… then was able to get the screws in and the hook as well…
it is working well, although it makes quite a slamming noise when it closes, so I will have to get used to that;-)…
going to be fun to see how the kids react😁…
