D&D Technologies TruClose Regular Duty Self-Closing Gate Hinge – 66 lb, White (2 Count)

Overview

The D&D Technologies TruClose Regular Duty Self-Closing Gate Hinge is engineered to work with metal gates up to 66 pounds. The hinge features a patented tension adjustment system that lets you tailor the closing speed to your specific setting—whether you’re managing a pool area, a yard boundary, or an entry to a garden gate. With a clean white finish, it pairs well with most square gate frames and posts, and it’s designed without alignment legs for straightforward installation.

Key benefits

• Adjustable tension for customized, controlled closing action
• Rigorous testing supports use around pools, daycares, and pet barriers
• Industrial-strength polymer that won’t rust, bind, sag, or stain
• Self-lubricating design reduces maintenance and keeps operation smooth
• Specifically made for metal gates on square posts, with a 3/8 inch to 7/8 inch frame-to-post gap
• Includes everything needed for installation: two hinges, mounting brackets, and stainless steel screws

Materials and durability

After decades of research, D&D Technologies refined a reinforced engineering polymer that serves as a durable, weather-resistant alternative to traditional metal hardware. The polymer formulation resists corrosion and wear while delivering reliable performance in outdoor environments. This choice helps the hinge stay smooth and functional across seasons without the common issues associated with metal hardware.

Compatibility and installation

Designed for square gate frames and posts, these hinges support metal gates weighing up to 66 pounds and require a gap between 3/8 and 7/8 inches. The kit arrives with two hinges, mounting brackets, and stainless steel screws, simplifying the swap or retrofit process. For best results, remove any old hinges before installing the new TruClose units.

Usage scenarios

Think of TruClose as a practical helper around the home. It can contribute to easier gate management near pool areas, boundaries for pets, entryways to yards, and gateways to sheds or patios. The combination of adjustable closing speed, durable polymer construction, and weather-resistant design offers a flexible solution for everyday gate control without promising guaranteed outcomes.
