We stock industry-leading D&D TruClose hardware, engineered for long-lasting, rust-free performance:
Metal & Wooden Gates
Whether you are hanging a lightweight wooden picket gate or a heavier metal perimeter gate, choose the specific hinge designed to match your gate material for optimal mounting.
Standard vs. Heavy Duty
Our standard TruClose hinges comfortably handle gates up to 30kg. For larger, weightier installations, opt for the Heavy Duty models to prevent sagging and ensure a reliable close every time.
Adjustable Tension
Every TruClose hinge features a built-in, easily adjustable stainless-steel torsion spring. This allows you to fine-tune the closing speed and force from the outside using a simple screwdriver.
Weather-Resistant Build
Constructed from heavy-duty, UV-stabilised polymers, these hinges won't rust, bind, or stain your gate over time, outperforming traditional metal spring hinges.
FAQs
How do self closing gate hinges work?
Self closing hinges contain an internal torsion spring mechanism that builds tension as the gate is opened. Once you release the gate, the spring's tension automatically pulls the gate back into the closed position. When paired with a quality auto-latching gate catch, they ensure your property is continuously secure without you having to manually shut the gate.
Can I adjust the closing speed on TruClose hinges?
Yes. One of the primary benefits of D&D TruClose hinges is their patented tension adjustment system. You can simply push down and turn the internal adjuster with a standard slotted screwdriver to increase or decrease the spring tension. This lets you set the perfect closing force so the gate latches securely without slamming aggressively.
Are polymer hinges strong enough for outdoor gates?
Absolutely. D&D TruClose hinges are manufactured from a highly durable, industrial-strength polymer combined with stainless steel internal components. This advanced material is specifically engineered for harsh outdoor environments. Unlike traditional steel spring hinges, the polymer construction means they will never rust, bind, sag, or leave unsightly rust stains on your fencing.
