This and you tube allowed me to fix the door closure mechanism, that I messed with during a home reno.

It's the small things in life that make it all better. I removed my tension pins a while ago and couldn't find them anymore. I was surprised to find that I could buy them separately and that they also came with wrenches. I couldn't expect anything more.

The tool was the right size and the pins were perfect size as well. Sticks out just a tiny bit so you can easily get them in and out.

The door from the kitchen to the garage would not shut all the way when let go. I have owned a few homes, but never experienced that. I could tell it was the springs in the hinges and that was when I noticed one of the hinges was missing a pin that holds tension on the spring. After some YouTube research, I saw that I needed a missing pin and how to adjust to put tension on the spring.I bought this pack of closing hinge pins, which do work, but they are much thinner than the hole for the original pins. These pins are also longer, so they stick out and dig into the the wood trim around the door. I could see someone else used something similar since channels were already carved into the trim. Since there was already damage, I decided to use these pins. I may eventually find thicker and shorter pins or just replace the hinges. Until then, these will work.

I wasn’t sure if this would work for my fire door but the spins and the wrenches worked exactly as I needed them too!

The pin diameter is not 0.08 inch. It's way thinner than that and is around only 0.06 inch. I wanted to replace my old existing pins with this one. But this product is so skinny that I don't think it can last long.Another big problem is once this skinny pin gets stuck and if you ever want to remove and replace it, it is very difficult since this doesn't stick to a magnet and you can't really pull it with a magnet.I tested this pin into the hold and had a really difficult time to remove since my magnet didn't work. I managed to remove it by using double-sided 3M tape to another pin so that I can pull the one inside the hole.

Repaired the hinge in less than 10 seconds! Those comments about the pin not fitting in properly is probably caused by not tensioning the coil spring. The pin is held in by the tension of the powerful spring inside the hinge. It takes some effort to tension the spring with the included hex wrench and then probing with the pin when the hole in the spring tensioner line up. It’s really easy peasy. However, the cost of the fix was rather expensive considering you’re getting 12 tiny pieces of steel rod and two cheap hex wrenches. I probably could have repaired the hinge with a brad nail as some have suggested.

My contractor installed our garage door but most likely tossed the parts to make sure it auto closes. I found this kit with the best price and the most pieces. Worth a shot even with no reviews.I was surprised that this kit came in a nice little plastic container. That is great to store all the pieces.The hex wrenches worked for my hinges and the pins also fit as they should. My garage door finally closes on its own.
