I was not aware of the compression spring. We have had them for about 3 months, but I had not noticed that. I would measure it for you, but I am away from the office for about a month and I am sure you need an answer sooner than that.

first off the spring is not going to be fully compressed. The only reason for the spring is simply to avoid slamming the door into the magnet. When engaged the face of the door is 4' from the wall.

The large piece is mounted to the floor so the distance varies to your instillation from 1 inch to as far as you want. It does not compress.

The answer to you question is 3.578" (90.9mm). Per Stanley documentation, the uncompressed length of the two pieces together is 3.908" (99.26mm). The spring will compress a maximum of 0.33" (8.36mm).

There is no spring as I recall- it is magnetic. I believe it is about 2.75 to 3.00 inches.

This item is not spring operated. It is simply held in place by the magnet. I am not in this property often but I remember the door seems to be in the same position as a standard stop. Appx. 3". Hope this helps.

The compression is no more than a quarter inch; the distance between the wall and the back of the door un-compressed is about 4.5 inches.

I really don't know. I bought the springs to lift a heavy maple kitchen cabinet much like the one pictured. It was a matterof popping out the old and in the new. It worked the way I expected it to so I read the instructions no further.

I think that it refers to the spring tension or SIZE of the return spring. I have mine on a solid core wood door that is between my laundry room and garage. The tension works fine on my door. With the main garage door open, there is a lot of airflow and this closer handles it.

Yes, it will work. The door can be no more than 40 inches wide. In your case, the "grippers" or "bumpers" should overhand the door facing by about 2 inches on each side. That should be enough to hold you up. In my opinion, as long as you perform the pull-ups correctly, you shouldn't have to worry about the device slipping or shifting. From my review: One thing to make sure of: Wall thickness! I have walls in an older home that are about 8 inches thick. This pull-up bar only fits walls that are 7 inches at most. I had to look all over the house for someplace where the wall was thin enough to fit this. I eventually found out my walk-in closet (a recent renovation) was thin enough. Now, I have to wallk back to my bedroom closet to exercise. It's not ideal, but it works. Six to seven inches is the ideal range for wall-thickness here. Also, the doorway needs to be between 24 and 40 inches wide and at least a foot away from any wall or corner, otherwise, your pull-up bar will not fit.

Hello Sharon, this piece of equipment is meant to be used on a doorway only (pay attention to the width of the doorway vs the length of the product). Unless you really modify this piece of equipment, I can't really think of a way to put this on the wall. The top part of the image you see is hardened plastic with some foam (top protect the paint above your door) and the bar you see stretching across the entire unit rests on the door's molding which really provides the support.I certainly appreciate the fact that I can just use it and then move it out of the way when I'm done....

I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having. My installation process was as follows: Installed the front of the spring first, then put the "U" clamps on ( lose fit.. double check the line-up on the hole & pin under the plate) then install the end of the spring in back. The last step is a challenge to say the least. Ended up using pinch (crow) bars with the help of a neighbor. Overall... very pleased with the quality of the product, but it was a bitch to install !!! Stick with it, and good luck. I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having.

If you are asking if it will prevent the door from slamming, no it won't if it is mounted in such a way as to close the door. The way it works is that there is a spring inside the vertical part of it that presses the lateral arm against the door, which closes the door. The lateral arm just slides in a track (provided) that prevents damage to the door. If you want to use it to prevent the door from slamming, you could mount it on the other side of the door with the lateral arm pushing the door open rather than closed. The pressure is adjustable and might be able to slow or soften the closing of the door.

A bit more that 90 degrees. It's very important that if you place this near a wall to have a filler piece so that the door can open properly. I would think that 1-1/2" -2" would be the minimum. I've got mine at 2-1/2" and have no issues whatsoever.

If the door opens into a corner it will open all the way if the required distance between the door and the return wall is there. If the door opens on a flat wall, it will probably not open all the way.

I think the typical application is for the spring to pull the gate closed. The normal state of rest for the spring is not expanded. I am not sure it would work for pushing a gate closed.

If you want an articulating mount this is about as good as it gets. Does not put the TV against the wall. Completely collapsed it leaves about 2 inches from the back of the TV to the wall. The distance from the wall to the front of the TV depends on what type of TV you ane mounting. I have an LED and it 3.25 inches from the wall to the face of the screen. It is close enough to the wall not to be an obstacle.

I bought this bed for my mother so I do not actually use it. I did notice that the bed never touched the wall when the head is at fully raised position. 4" away from the wall sounds about right.

Hmmm.....I am pretty sure it will not help you with your door that has a tendency to slam shut.The product has a coiled spring with a bar extension coming out from it, that, as the coiled spring uncoils, the bar pushes against the door, closing it.If for whatever reason your door slams shut now, I believe that it would continue to do so, with this product attached to it.

-- Box face itself is no further out than 2 1/2 inches... Gun is about 1/2 inch back towards the wall from face... .. I would say gun is no further out than 2 inches from wall... I found this is a perfect solution for me for accessibilty and secure safety.

I haven't installed it yet but it will go as far as you push it so if you want it to remain parallel it will or if you want it to touch the wall it will also. There's no spring mechanism.

My 4 year old learned how to push the door harder and got out, but it worked great until then.If the door is closed, and this is engaged, then when they (or you) try to open it, it will catch and lock in an open position with maybe 1.5 inch gap.It does make quite a clacking sound when the child tries to get out and it engages, That was handy, since sometimes he would get it open.

It should & strong hands to open the spring that much. Right now I have clipped onto about an inch and it can deffinately be opened more (I just checked it). Hope that helps! Have a great day! :)
