Product Description
TruClose® Heavy-Duty Multi-Adjust Gate Hinge — Self-Closing, Tension-Adjustable
- Heavy-duty capacity — Built to handle larger/wider pedestrian gates in residential and commercial settings.
- Tension-adjustable — Dial in self-closing speed and force with the integrated adjuster.
- Multi-axis alignment — Vertical and horizontal adjustability helps fine-tune the close as the gate settles.
- Weather-tough build — High-strength polymer bodies with stainless-steel components resist corrosion outdoors.
- Installer-friendly — Forgiving mounts and serviceable design simplify setup and seasonal tune-ups.
TruClose® Heavy-Duty Multi-Adjust hinges deliver dependable, tension-adjustable self-closing for bigger pedestrian gates that see frequent use. The multi-axis adjustability makes alignment straightforward on new installs and retrofits alike, while the rugged construction stands up to weather and daily traffic. For a complete, professional grade setup, pair these hinges with a keyed latch like LokkLatch® PRO or two-sided LokkLatch® Deluxe.
Why Choose This Hinge
- Built for bigger gates — Higher capacity than standard “Regular” or Mini hinges for heavier panels and hardware loads.
- Consistent closure — Spring-assist helps ensure the gate returns to latch even as conditions change.
- Easy to tune — Adjust closing tension, then fine-align vertically and horizontally to keep things smooth over time.
- Durable outdoors — Non-rusting exterior with stainless internals for long service life.
- Versatile materials — Commonly used on metal, vinyl, and wood pedestrian gates with appropriate mounting.

Installation
Hang the gate and loosely mount the hinges to the post and gate member. Square the gate, tighten fasteners, then fine-tune vertical/horizontal alignment so the strike meets your latch smoothly. Set closing force with the built-in tensioner so the gate shuts fully and latches. On wider or wind-exposed gates, verify consistent closing from your typical opening angle and re-check settings after initial break-in.
Buying Guide
- Gate weight & width — Choose Heavy-Duty for larger panels or frequent traffic; confirm hinge settings deliver consistent closure.
- Latch pairing — Select a latch that meets your security or code needs (e.g., LokkLatch® PRO or LokkLatch® Deluxe).
- Substrate & fasteners — Use the correct screws/bolts for metal, vinyl, or wood construction.
- Seasonal tune-ups — Re-check closing tension and alignment after break-in and with temperature swings.
- Code considerations — For pool barriers, verify local requirements for self-closing and self-latching gates before selection.
