Top-selling TruClose Gate Hinges have long been the most reliable self-closing gate hinges on the market. The new "Series 3" range offers a unique, custom approach to gate hardware by introducing trim covers to match your locks and lighting fixtures, while concealing all fasteners.
The ideal self-closing (tension-adjustable) hinge for mid-weight to heavy-weight metal gates. Tough, molded construction with stainless steel torsion spring. 100% rust-free for life. No binding, no sagging, no staining. Quick and easy adjustment feature. "L2" model offers quick-fit alignment legs for added fitting strength. No fasteners included (requires 10-gauge fasteners).
Regular - Suitable for gates up to 66 lbs (30 kg.) and able to withstand loads up to 770 lbs (350 kg.), there are models available for metal, wood and vinyl gates.
