Product Information

Full details

The D&D TruClose Wooden Gate Hinge is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable self-closing mechanism for wooden or vinyl gates. Its primary benefit lies in the patented tension adjustment system, which ensures gates close consistently while offering significant structural reinforcement via its dual alignment legs. While it is engineered for exceptional durability, users should note it is strictly limited to gates weighing 30kg or less, making it unsuitable for extra-heavy industrial or large ornamental gate frames.

FAQs

What is the maximum gate weight this hinge can handle?

This model is designed for gates weighing up to 30kg.

Can this be used on metal gates?

The TruClose hinge is specifically designed for wooden or vinyl gates.

Do I need special tools to adjust the tension?

No, the patented system is designed for quick and easy manual adjustment without specialized tools.

Is the hinge resistant to rust?

Yes, it is constructed from high-grade polymer with an internal stainless steel spring, making it highly resistant to rust and staining.

Why does this model have two legs?

The two alignment legs provide extra stability and simplify the installation process by helping the hinge stay in the correct position.

Are the mounting screws visible after installation?

No, the hinge features a design that hides all fasteners for a cleaner finish.

Troubleshooting

Gate is failing to self-close

Adjust the tension dial to increase the closing speed until the gate swings shut on its own.

Hinge appears loose on the wooden post

Check that the alignment legs are seated flush against the wood and tighten the mounting screws.

Gate is slamming shut too hard

Reduce the tension setting slightly using the adjustment tool to slow the closing speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Rust-resistant design suitable for all-weather conditions
Fast and precise tension adjustment system
Dual-leg design significantly simplifies installation
Concealed fasteners provide a clean look
Durable polymer material prevents binding and staining

Cons

Strict 30kg maximum weight limit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure your gate material is either wood or vinyl and falls within the 30kg weight limit. Position the hinge on the gate frame, utilizing the two alignment legs to lock the hinge into the correct perpendicular orientation. Use high-quality screws to secure the unit, ensuring all fasteners are properly seated to maintain the hidden-fastener look. To maintain the hinge, periodically check the tension and wipe the exterior polymer with a damp cloth if debris accumulates. The internal stainless steel spring is sealed within the unit, meaning it generally does not require lubrication or specialized maintenance.
