10pcs Stainless Steel Small Torsion Spring 50mm 90 Degree Torsional Spring for Tools Maintenance and Carpentry DIY

I liked that I was able to find these on Amazon so I didn't have to spend a fortune on a brand new garbage can. Thank you Amazon!

These worked well on light duty tools. However, they aren't powerful enough for heavier tools.

There are springs that are sold 4 for $15-$20 that are marketed as residential door hinge openers. These work identically for less: Door hinge pins fit through these springs coils. Might wrap them with tape to achieve same scratch proofing as plastic dipped, marketed ones. My heavy door needed springs on all 3 hinges. YMMV

These are nice little springs and I had to install 2 on the hinges to my hollow (not solid) closet door. I don't think they could even move a solid door.I needed better airflow from the closet and I didn't want to remove the door. This is a very lightweight door and I thought 1 spring would be enough but 2 was just perfect, at first. It opened the door about 75% open. However after the door was used for a few months it would only open the door about 5% I suppose I could have added 1 more spring but I opted for a stronger spring design and just 1 of the other springs is very quickly opening that door to 100%. Not ideal but better that 5%I would have given a higher rating if they had performed for more than a few months.

This will work but I wondering if there is another item that is little stronger than this.

Trying to replace a spring in my garbage can and the measurements for this spring seemed possible but ended up being too wide in the coil which was hard to detect before trying them.

Good product

Worked great for my dishwasher soap dispenser. I had to bend the spring to conform to the old spring that broke. After a little tweaking it worked and has been in for a month or so and works like new! If it breakers I have more to replace it! I would recommend these springs. A lot cheaper then buying the replacement parts.
