The SureClose® ReadyFit Hinges are compact, heavy-duty, hydraulic, hinge-closers designed for commercial, industrial and estate gates. Stylishly designed and corrosion resistant, SureClose ReadyFit hinges use high strength aluminum with stainless steel components, aluminum components have a 50 micron thick anodizing finish. The external mounting brackets allow quick and easy alignment and installation. No need for drilling large holes! Designed for commercial, industrial, custom residential and estate gates, SureClose ReadyFit hinges come in three basic models, with choice of aluminum or steel mounting brackets. The standard self-closing model (RF 108) features a final snap action for overcoming electric or coded locks found in many security applications. Optional Safety Model (RF 108SF) does not hold open at 90°, making it ideal for Safety Gates. Also available is a non-self-closing model (RF SM) for access control and most heavy commercial or residential gates. Hinges can be used in different combinations for a variety of applications.

Here is a really cool 'rust' finished metal gate that is a functional work of art, built and installed by our customer John out in Arizona. He used our D&D Technologies Ready-Fit Hinges (74108323) to make sure the gate closes every time. Great job John - I love the gate. Thank you so much for sharing!
Here are a few pictures from a customer of ours out in Olympia, Washington of a very nice installation of an all black chain link swing gate which has a square frame. This particular installation required a combination of the RF-SM-S ReadyFit Hinge with Aluminum Brackets (74001313), a RF-108SF-S ReadyFit Hinge/Gate Closer (74108323), and a SureClose ReadyFit Gate Stop (7403).
The project looks great Crosby! Keep up the great work and we hope to continue to work with you on future projects!
Here are some great pictures from our customer over in Missouri. We are proud that they chose to use our SureClose ReadyFit hinges for this metal fence gate project that looks to be under a bridge, or parking garage. Rachael used a combination of RF-SM-S (74001313) and RF-108SF-S (74108323) gate hinges and closers along with a SureClose ReadyFit Gate Stop (7403) which keeps the gate from being overextended.
The install looks great Rachael! Keep up the wonderful work!

The SureClose hinges I purchase for my spa gate work great! Very durable and works great in a wet area. I would recommend this product for a commercial spa setting where a self closing spa gate is needed.
great stuff cant wait to install. will be coming back for driveway stuff. thanks
