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 the closing force with the built-in tensioner so the gate shuts fully and latches. For additional closing force on heavier panels, consider an auxiliary gate closer.
Buying Guide
- Gate weight & size — Mini series suits lighter gates; for heavier or wider panels, step up to heavy-duty hinges.
- Latch pairing — Choose a latch that meets your security or pool-code needs; self-closing hinges help the latch engage.
- Substrate & fasteners — Confirm proper screws/bolts for metal, vinyl, or wood construction.
- Seasonal tune-ups — Re-check closing tension and alignment after break-in and temperature swings.
- Code considerations — For pool barriers, verify local self-closing and self-latching requirements before selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these hinges self-closing?
- Yes. They include a spring mechanism for self-closing, and the closing tension is adjustable.
- Can I use them on wood or vinyl gates?
- Yes—when mounted with the correct brackets and fasteners for those substrates.
- How do I adjust the closing speed?
- Use the built-in tensioner to increase or decrease spring force until the gate closes and latches consistently.
- Do I still need a gate closer?
- Not typically for light gates. For heavier panels or high-traffic areas, a supplemental closer can improve consistency.
- Will they rust?
- The housings are polymer and the internal components are stainless-steel to resist corrosion outdoors.
Comparison
- TruClose® Mini Multi-Adjustable (this model) — Compact, tension-adjustable self-closing for light/medium gates.
- TruClose® Regular — Larger format for standard pedestrian gates; similar tension adjustment with more capacity.
- Heavy-duty hinges — Higher load ratings for large/heavy gates; consider when gate mass or wind exposure is significant.
