Aluminum Spring Loaded Gate Closer for Residential Chain Link Gates - Multiple Sizes

Product Description

Aluminum Spring-Loaded Chain Link Gate Closer — Fits 2″ (1-7/8″ O.D.) & 2-1/2″ (2-3/8″ O.D.) Posts

• Self-Closing Convenience — Dual internal springs return the gate to closed position from either direction
• Die-Cast Aluminum Body — Corrosion-resistant closer won’t rust and is built for outdoor service
• Chain Link Ready — Mounts to the hinge post; arms capture a 1-3/8″ gate frame
• Simple, Reliable Operation — Great with strap-hinged walk gates and self-latching butterfly latches
• Two Sizes — Choose for 2″ posts (1-7/8″ O.D.) or 2-1/2″ posts (2-3/8″ O.D.)
• Hardware Included — Installation bolts are in the box

Make everyday access easier and safer with this spring-loaded chain link gate closer. A rugged, die-cast aluminum housing and dual internal springs deliver smooth, automatic closing in both directions. The closer bolts to your hinge post while the arms wrap a 1-3/8″ gate upright, a setup installers prefer on residential walk gates using strap hinges. Pair with a self-latching butterfly latch to keep gates secured after every pass-through. For typical residential gates up to roughly 16 sq. ft., one closer is sufficient; larger or taller gates often benefit from two closers (top and bottom) for balanced force in wind and high-use settings.

Why Choose This

• Close-and-forget — Helps ensure the gate returns to closed without relying on the user
• Low maintenance — No hydraulics to bleed; aluminum construction resists corrosion
• Clean install — Compact profile, mounts with included bolts
• Trusted format — Common, field-proven closer style for chain link pedestrian gates

Specifications

Installation

Use the provided bolts to mount the closer body to the hinge post. Place the closer’s arms around the 1-3/8″ gate upright and tighten evenly. Test close speed and latch engagement; on larger or wind-exposed gates, install a second closer near the opposite end of the upright for balanced action. For best results, use with a self-latching gate latch (e.g., butterfly style).

Buying Guide

• Pick your post size: Choose 2″ × 1-3/8″ for 1-7/8″ O.D. posts, or 2-1/2″ × 1-3/8″ for 2-3/8″ O.D. posts. Both fit a 1-3/8″ gate frame.
• How many closers? One closer is typical for gates up to ~16 sq. ft.; use two on larger/taller gates or in windy locations.
• Hinges & latches: Common on gates with male/female strap hinges; pair with a self-latching latch so the gate stays shut after closing.
• Pool & safety gates: A closer helps the gate self-close, but compliance depends on your total hardware and local code—always verify requirements before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it close the gate from both directions?

Yes. The dual spring design returns the gate to closed whether it was pushed inward or outward.

What sizes are available?

Two models: for 2″ (1-7/8″ O.D.) posts and for 2-1/2″ (2-3/8″ O.D.) posts. Both grip a 1-3/8″ gate frame.

How many closers do I need?

Use one closer on most residential walk gates up to ~16 sq. ft.; larger/taller gates typically use two (top and bottom) for balanced force.

Is the mounting hardware included?

Yes, installation bolts are included.

Will this make my pool gate “code-compliant”?

Not by itself. A closer helps self-closing, but code compliance depends on the full system (hinges, latch, geometry). Check local regulations.

Comparison

• Spring-Loaded Closer (this item): Simple, durable, automatic closing for chain link walk gates; minimal maintenance.
• Spring Hinges: Replace standard hinges; typically two per gate and tension-adjustable, but may require gate/hinge changes.
• Hydraulic/Adjustable Closers: Offer tunable speed/force on ornamental or pedestrian gates; generally more complex and costly (less common for chain link).
