DAC Industries One-Way Self-Closing Gravity Hinges offer a reliable, spring-free solution for automatic gate closure. As the gate opens, the bottom hinge lifts slightly, causing the gate to tilt out of plumb. When released, gravity pulls the hinge back into position, closing the gate smoothly and consistently.
Designed for versatility, these hinges can accommodate gates that need to swing uphill while maintaining standard clearance when closed. With simple adjustments to the bottom hinge height, users can fine-tune the closing force to meet their needs. For added security, pair these hinges with a child safety Auto-Latch to create a dependable pool gate system.
The one-way self-closing function makes these hinges an excellent choice for pool gates and pet enclosures.
