Kant Slam For Self Closing Wood Gates

Kant-Slam is great for any self-closing requirements. A special feature found only in the Kant-Slam is that the closing pressure is self-contained within the unit and is transmitted through components of the closer to the mounting bracket on the frame. The result is no more pressure on the gate or door than from closing by hand.

The exclusive Kant-Slam unit is based on a toggle arrangement of four levers and a vertical cylinder filled with oil. The levers open as the gate or door opens and are closed by two strong springs. The toggle action causes leverage to increase as the spring tension decreases, giving ample closing force at the latching point.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Closing speed is controlled by the piston cup, which is forced through the cylinder of oil. A slotted screw on top of the Kant-Slam regulates the flow of oil which in turn produces the desired closing speed.

The Kant-Slam closing unit is not affected by inclement weather and can be installed indoors and outdoors. The Kant-Slam can be mounted on many types of gates and doors. Kant-Slam mounts on the opening side of the gate or door and gently but firmly pushes it to a closed position.
