D&D Technologies TCA1S3BTS TruClose Regular Duty Self Closing Gate Hinge, for Metal Gates up to 66 Pounds, No Alignment Legs, Black, 2 Count

These hinges work great

I custom fabricated my own deck gate to keep grandchild & grand-dog contained. Since I'd already decided on D&D Technologies' MagnaLatch, I thought I'd try their self closing hinges. Though heavy duty, I'm not excited about them being plastic. I've seen photos on line where UV rays lighten their color over time. But hey, at least they won't rust! The plastic snap-on screw covers have a glossy finish that doesn't match the hinge. What's up with that?I like the larger diameter self threading screws that were provided. To keep the hinges from wandering about my aluminum posts during installation, I clamped them into place. Using a 1/4" drill bit & the holes in the hinge as my template, I made a very shallow indentation in my post. This provided a recess for a much smaller drill bit, located in the exact center of each hole. The screws went in much easier than the instructions & the hinges never moved!I did not reply to the "Durability" review because they've only been installed for a few days. I'm paying close attention to what the great ball in the sky is gonna do to the finish.All in all, the hinges came excellently packaged, all parts were there & they installed very easily.

Great item for half the price of other ones and other stores use this for a door on my deck and it’s worked perfectly.

There is no way for me to detemine was was on my fence so I took measurments and this is as close as I could find. The only difference with old and knew is that only 2 of 8 holes line up. This was enough to get the hinge started and made it much easier to line up. All I had to do is drill all the holes I needed while the 2 screws that lined up held the hinge in place. Super easy to install and adjust.

These hinges are perfect and auto close my gate. I really like the adjustable tension feature and they can be adjusted after installation. These are well made, sturdy, and look good too!

These hinges are great. I had these exact hinges for over 14 years on a frequently used gate and they were/are excellent. I only replaced them because I set the gate with very little clearance and after 14 years they had worn ever so slightly and gate would hit post on latch side every time it opened and closed. My fault for not leaving enough clearance. I replaced with same brand but without the flanges that go inside post so I could center the gate within the opening.

Used this for a small gate to keep small dogs inside the garage. I fastened it in a different manner than the provided screws. The raised edge on one side allowed for proper positioning of the hinge. I liked the easy adjustability. A minor negative was that one turn on the adjustment changed the tension substantially. It would have been nice to have more increments on the tension adjustment.Overall it is a very good hinge and I would definitely buy it again.

Good hinge, works very well. Update after 3months, hinges chatter when opening and closing.
