Tired of spending money replacing and repairing gate closers? Worried about liability when your gate doesn’t close? Fed up with the noisy, bulky closers? We have an alternative. SureClose was designed to replace conventional hinges, closers and header arrangements, through its unique design that hides the closer hydraulics inside the fence post.

SureClose Delivers:

Greater strength and performance compared to traditional heavy duty closers and hinges, with an installed cost at or below current options.
Consistent superior performance due to its dual thrust bearings.
Stylishly designed and corrosion resistant, SureClose uses high strength aluminum with stainless steel components.
SureClose is a workhorse, testing to 500,000 cycles with a 1,500 lb. (680kg.) point-load capacity, self-closing gates up to 260 lbs. (120 kg.)

Designed for commercial, industrial, custom residential and estate gates, SureClose comes in three basic models, with mounting brackets that cover most any square post installation, including steel or aluminum, flush mounted or center mounted, fastened or welded, with adjustable self-closing speed. Models are also available that feature a final snap action for overcoming electric or coded locks found in many security applications and a non-self-closing version for access control and most heavy commercial or residential gates with a point load up to 1,500 lbs. (680kg.).

SureClose FAQ's

Q: If one orders ‘Snap Action’ Hinges, can the ‘Snap Action’ feature be turned off?

A: Yes, the snap action can be adjusted to virtually eliminate it from the hinge.

Q: Are all hinges and brackets made of steel?

A: All the hinges are aluminum. The hinge brackets and post brackets can be either aluminum, for mechanically fastening, or steel for welding.

Q: What finish, if any, is on these hinges?

A: Both the aluminum and steel components are powder coated.

Q: Do all hinges have the same diameter threaded shaft?

A: All hinges have the same diameter threaded shaft yes.

Q: What size hole saw (for threaded shaft) is required to mount these hinges?

A: Flush mount 1-9/16" (40mm), Center Mount 1-7/8" (48mm).

Q: Are these recommended on gates up to 40” wide only?

A: Self-closing weights are based on a maximum gate size of 72"H x 40"W (1800x1000mm). For gates with greater HxW, or if conditions such as wind play a role, use hinge combinations with higher self-closing weight ratings.
