From the Manufacturer

Q:I have a redwood gate that weighs 75 lbs dry (it will be painted but will get a bit heavier in winter with rain). I hope to get by with a 2" jam/post on the hinge side attached to masonry. Is 2" jam okay or do I need more wood to support?

by|Oct 29, 2022

Q:What is the distance between the holes from one side to the other? The gate has square tubing on both sides with a 1" gap

by|Sep 16, 2021

Answer This Question

A:  For the Tru-Close D&D 4 in. Heavy Duty Spring Hinges for Metal Gates (2-Pack), the spacing between one set of holes and the other is 2 7/32”.

Q:Can you adjust the tension where it will not automatically close?

by|Feb 27, 2021

Answer This Question

A:  What if you want the gate to remain open? Can you release tension so the gate will stay open?

by|Mar 1, 2021

A:  The Tru-Close D&D 4 in. Heavy Duty Spring Hinges for Metal Gates (2-Pack) can be turned down to a minimal speed, but they will never not be self-closing.

by|Mar 3, 2021

A:  Yes there is a screw that allows the tension so the gate will close

by|Mar 1, 2021

A:  If you dont want the gate to close, can you adjust the tension where it will stay open?

by|Jun 12, 2022

Q:Can these be used on a wooden gate with balusters (2x4 gate frame next to 4x4 post)?

by|Sep 15, 2020

Answer This Question

A:  That is exactly what we did but had to replace the included screws with wood screws.

by|Dec 9, 2020

A:  Technically they can, but normally you would want something with more horizontal reach on a wood gate for strength.

by|Nov 25, 2020

A:  This item is recommended for metal gate applications. A more preferable item for a wooden gate application would be D&D SKU 1000030693.

The TRU-CLOSE D&D 4 IN. HEAVY DUTY SPRING HINGES are a solid product. They are very easy to install in the instructions are clear. I also like the idea that the product is lightweight yet solid and it appears that rusting will not be an issue with this product. We are actually using these heavy duty spring hinges for our pop-up camper to help the door close, and the hinges are performing beautifully!

I was introduced to D&D Technology when my pool fencing was installed. So when the time came to put in additional fencing these TRU-CLOSE D&D 4 IN. HEAVY DUTY SPRING HINGES FOR METAL GATES (2-PACK) were the first thing I looked into including. They are well made, truly heavy duty and perform as required. Gates get more use and need a durable hinge. You will not be disappointed with these. All required hardware is included and once installed they look and wear great. I totally recommend.

These hinges accommodate gates up to 154#, but they work just fine on a smaller gate for us. I had hoped to modify them somehow to work on pipe livestock gates, but that is beyond my skill level. The included screws are beefy self-tapping so I used wood screws instead. They are on a wooden gate to an arbor keeping the deer out of our landscaping, so it is really nice that the gate stays tightly closed even when we don't latch it. Set on high tension, these hinges are actually strong enough to make the latch catch on its own. They are easy to install and the covers over the screws make everything look neat. The tension adjustment is a big flat screw head at the top so can be adjusted without taking the covers off.

The Tru-Close 4" heavy duty spring hinges are, in my view, the standard for metal fence gates. I've got a mix of regular-duty hinges on two 3-foot gates and the heavy-duty hinges on a 6-foot aluminum gate, I'm pretty sure I didn't even need to go with the heavy-duty set for the 6-foot gate (but it never hurts). The set of 2 hinges comes complete with everything you need. The plastic screw covers snap into place and are a nice touch for giving it a finished look.

How do you make a metal gate Self closing?

You certainly don't need to replace the gate to make it self-closing. All you need to do is buy a gate spring, mount it to the gate's hinged side and the frame, then place the spring under torque. Your metal gate's hinges will be attached to the opening in the wall, which may be wrought-iron or block.

How do you put a spring on a gate?

Just remove a screw from the hinge, place the gate spring in place, and re-screw. You may need to drill an extra hole through your hinge for the second screw. Attach the bottom of the spring to the fence post. Place rivet supplied into bottom of gate spring.
