Self Closing Mechanisms

CENTREWIRE HINGE DESIGNS FOR TIMBER GATES

Our specialised fittings are designed to allow timber gates to be opened easily from both sides and to self close. We also supply traditional fittings but we think they limit access to rights of way.

SELF CLOSING MECHANISMS

Self-closing gates are generally desirable on rights of way and we recommend offset hinges. They are virtually maintenance free and ensure the gate closes every time. When gates are correctly installed using our fittings they will close even from 2” away. We have tested other traditional methods using weights and springs but think they are unsatisfactory. Springs usually fail after a short time in use and weights can pose a potential safety hazard to RoW users.
