D&D TCHD1AL2S3BTS TruClose Heavy Duty Gate Hinge Square Gates, 2 pcs

These hinges are well made!They are sturdy and allow for easy installtion.The tension adjustment is very easyto use.There are beauty caps that go over the screws on the hinges that went on easily and look very nice.Excellent installtion intructions also!

Added them to a community pool gate. Easy to install and add tension. Has last 8 months now, and still closes with the same force I set it for.

Perfect replacement fit.

I have an aluminum decorative fencing with a 4 foot gate. The original installation 3 years ago used the regular size of these hinges. But the gate was not closing any more when a good breeze was coming against it, even with a fully cranked spring. Switched to these heavy duty ones and now the gate closed with a satifying snap, in any wind. Installation was a bit of work. Holes do not match, so that requires carefully selecting a new position, drilling, and an assistant to hold the gate at some point.

The hinges work fine but it is too soon (right after purchase) to really evaluate a hinge. We replaced previously installed (approx 15 years ago) gate hinges (same brand and type) with these hinges because one of the prior hinges broke. So they do not last forever. Might be better in metal than heavy duty plastic. But nothing lasts forever.

I bought these for a light gate with old spring hinges that would not close if there was any breeze. I bought a set of new spring hinges but they, too, had much too little spring force. These ones here are for a heavier gate and they close my gate decisively. There is additional adjustment remaining if I ever want to add more force. I did not use the trim pieces. They are shiny and did not look good against the matte black hinge and matte paint on the metal gate. It looks better without them.

I bought two other sets from Elite Fence company. They were more expensive and they have terrible customer service. So I found the same item on Amazon for less with great return policy if I needed to return them but I don’t.

Love this hinge. It gives a finished look to a gate. Easy to adjust tension for self closing.
