When a gate needs to close itself, every time, without fail, the TruClose® Hinge is the safety gate hinge installers and homeowners reach for. TruClose Hinges are the world’s most trusted child safety gate hinges, devised to overcome the problems that plague conventional gate hinges – rust, binding, sagging and staining. Sold as a pair with adjustable spring tension, they’re built from tough engineering-grade polymer with a stainless steel closing spring, so the gate swings shut reliably no matter how many times a day it’s used.

The TruClose Hinge is a self-closing hinge designed to suit a wide range of gates and settings, including:
Every TruClose Hinge features adjustable closing tension that can be fine-tuned at the turn of a screwdriver from either end of the hinge, so you can set the closing speed to suit the gate rather than fighting against it.
Made from super-strong engineering-grade polymer with a stainless steel closing spring inside, TruClose Hinges are designed to last a lifetime outdoors without the rust, binding, sagging or staining that shortens the life of conventional metal hinges.
Each hinge comes with a trim cover that hides the fixings, giving the finished gate a tidy, professional look with no visible fasteners on show.
Choose Regular for most square-posted gates, or step up to Heavy Duty hinges for larger, heavier or high-traffic gates – both options share the same reliable, low-maintenance design underneath.
Available with optional side fixing legs, the TruClose Hinge lines up quickly during installation and adds extra fixing strength once it's on the gate.
A self-closing hinge that's ideal for child safety gates, helping keep a pool gate closed between uses.
Built for the kind of high-traffic, high-stakes gates found around children, where a hinge simply has to work every time.
Just as suited to an everyday front gate, side gate or garden gate that benefits from closing itself.
Regular TruClose Hinges are suited to most square-posted gates and everyday use around the home, garden or a smaller commercial gate. Heavy Duty hinges use the same self-closing, tension-adjustable design but are built to handle larger, heavier gates and higher-traffic entry points, such as busy driveway gates or gates at a childcare centre or school that open and close dozens of times a day. Both options are available with or without side fixing legs, so you can match the fixing method to your gate frame and post setup.
TruClose Hinges are designed to be quick and easy to install on new gates or as a straightforward hinge upgrade on an existing one. Fit the hinge to the gate and post, set the closing tension with a screwdriver from either end, then check that the gate swings closed smoothly across its full range before fitting the trim covers. If you’re installing on a swimming pool gate, always confirm your specific safety requirements with your local council or a licensed pool safety inspector, as self-closing hinge compliance rules can vary by state.
Gate weight, gate material and how often the gate is used all play a part in choosing between Regular and Heavy Duty. If you’re unsure which TruClose Hinge suits your gate, get in touch – we’ll help you find the right fit for your project.
