The TruClose® HEAVY DUTY Series 3 Gate Hinges provide a strong and reliable self-closing solution for larger, heavier and high-traffic gates. Designed for aluminium and steel gates, these heavy-duty hinges feature adjustable closing tension to ensure smooth, consistent gate closure, making them ideal for residential, commercial and pool safety applications.

Manufactured from industrial-strength, UV-stabilised polymer with stainless steel internal springs, the hinges offer excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting outdoor durability. The self-closing tension can be easily adjusted from either end of the hinge, while decorative trim covers conceal the fixings for a clean, professional finish. Capable of self-closing gates weighing up to 70kg, the hinges are also available in configurations with side-fixing legs for additional strength and easier installation.

For pool fencing applications, the installation of a TruClose® Heavy Duty Hinge Safety Cap on the bottom hinge is highly recommended. The safety cap helps prevent young children from using the lower hinge as a foothold to climb over the gate, providing an additional layer of protection and helping maintain a safer pool fencing barrier. Under the Australian Pool Fencing Standards AS1926.1, a 60-degree cone safety cap (or anti-climb safety cone) is required on the lower hinge only if the distance between the top of the lower hinge and the top of the upper hinge is less than 900mm.

All our D&D Hinges come with complimentary 20mm white powdercoated steel tek screws!

Please note our D&D TruClose® Hinges do not come with a Safety Cone Cap, they are sold separately.
