It’s coming out the hole

[Pocster]

This spring gate closer was a tough (expletive deleted) to install . After under a year it’s pulling out the quoin . Assume quoin is quite soft . What fixing do I need so this mofo doesn’t pull out ?

[Mr Punter]

A plate like the one holding the hinge, so it has more than one fixing and they are spread out.

The fitting at the wall end is fixed to the spring base - so it is just 1 hole .

Bolt the bottom fixing to a steel plate and screw the plate to the stonework with four screws.

Drill a deeper hole and set some threaded 4mm or 5mm threaded bar in with resin. Then a nut and washer to lock it there forever.

I'd use stainless, but do not over-tighten it.

I'd use leftover walk-on glazing....

Copper grease is your friend with stainless-on-stainless.

I learned this after I managed to completely seize one of the stainless nuts that holds my ASHP stand down, halfway onto the threaded bar. Apparently galling is a thing.

Such an important bit of advice. Most bolts are overtightened.
