Readers, should by now, have come to the conclusion, among other things, that not all floor springs are equal...
...I hope therefore the message is clear.

All the best

MFS/Rod, is everything ok? Not all floorsprings are the same and some are simple like the Climax and some are complicated (to many) like the Gibbons that you worked on at Star & Garter.

And there are the ones that are cheaply made (chinese ones) and there are the durable heavy duty ones like Rixson and tge ones you've repaired,

Just didnt know if something was bothering you to the point to make you post something like this..... hear from you soon?

Hi Jess,

yes of course something is bothering me as you know full well. I was subject to a campaign of harassment by a former landlord/his son/his friends (sleep deprivation for months was just a little of it, which has a very odd affect I can assure you) of mine a while ago and I guess he has 'friends' because the things that have happened to me since then have almost bought myself and MFS to near collapse (if this does happen then I wanted to let readers know there is another 'way' rather than the wasteful way the door closer business appears to work at the moment), but as you have said this is a business blog so may not be the correct place to discuss this, although as this has massively and negatively affected the development of my business I guess some may argue the other way.

The Aspergers you seem to believe I may have might also not have helped either as it makes it difficult, near impossible to let the matter go, especially as I know I was not, am not the aggressor and have been completely honest about the whole affair from the start.

As you know I started MFS with £50 from my Dads garage and because of the affect the harassment has had on me I am still there. It seems to have made me lose all confidence and scared me to the point that I am frightened to take a step forward, so I have been keeping jobs small and not chasing things as I ought, replying to inquiries etc, the list is quite long.

It has also affected my memory and I believe I am suffering from PTSD which, funny you should mention it, affected my ability to cope/perception and logic, which I feel derailed the Star & Garter/Gibbons job hugely and as said almost everything else in between.

    As there is so little information out there with regard to door closers, especially vintage and antique model floor springs, I thought I would start this blog.
