Featured Product: Universal Self-Closing Spring Hinge

Self-closing latches are a very important gate feature for families, ensuring the gate closes after use.  Kansas City area property owners should consider installing one of these hinges to assist in securing your family and property.

Hinges that utilize springs are referred to as self-closing hinges. These hinges are popular with homeowners with children and pets, and with property owners who want more control of their gate’s traffic flow. These hinges can also help deter unwanted guests from entering through your gate and provide additional security.

Universal Self-Closing Spring Hinges

The universal self-closing spring hinge can be used on both commercial and residential chain link fences. This hinge is made of aluminum die cast housing, utilizes a stainless-steel spring and hinge pin and uses 4 U-bolts to attach to the gate frame and fence post. You will need two of these hinges per gate, three if you have a commercial gate or a gate 6’ or taller.

Universal self-closing spring hinges have more surface area than most self-closing hinges, so you won’t have to overtighten it. The ribbed texture of the inside of the hinge helps cling to the pipe, while the U-bolts secure its position. If you would like to make this hinge even more secure, there are tabs located on each U-bolt for you to insert a tek screw which locks the hinges into place on the pipe.
