## Description

Make your manual chain link gate self-closing with the farm self-closing device. Made of steel. Works with farm and chain link gates.

Review: Nice product - These are well made and a good product. They did not work exactly as I wanted because I was working with two gates that needed to line up (like swinging doors in a western saloon) exactly. I made some additional adjustments to the gates with an additional spring to get the gate to work properly and swing both ways. They are still installed and working fine. They are not designed to hold a gate precisely in the middle, there is a little slack between the two springs that make it work. If you had a gate where it closed against a post or had a latch they would be great. No fault of the product or seller that it did not work for me exactly.
Review: It works, but I had to modify it - It’s good quality, but the screws were a little small and I had to modify it to get it to work the way I wanted it to. I think the design needs to be upgraded so that it actually attaches to the gate versus resting on the gate.

## Features

- Designed for farm gate applications.
- Kit includes 1 self-closing device, 4 - 1 1/2" hex head self-drilling lag screws, and 1 allen wrench.
- Easy installation on posts 4" or larger and gates with 1 3/8" to 2 1/2" or larger upright dimensions.
- Made out of Zinc Plated Powder Coated Steel, ASTM B117 Salt-Spray tested and passed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have limited space between post and gate. That is the min space needed in order to fit the mount and spring between the post and gate?**
A: Hello, you will need min of 3-1/4" spacing for this style hinge.

**Q: Does this device allow the gate to open in both directions?**
A: Sorry - only one direction.

**Q: It would appear 3.5 inches of clearance is needed between the post and the gate. Is that correct?**
A: Correct.

**Q: will this work for a standard chain link fence gate?  4x6 ft**
A: I would think so.

### ⭐⭐⭐ It works, but I had to modify it
*by T***M on May 27, 2025*

It’s good quality, but the screws were a little small and I had to modify it to get it to work the way I wanted it to. I think the design needs to be upgraded so that it actually attaches to the gate versus resting on the gate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good valu
*by I***R on April 15, 2019*

Install was easy and it works well, but the arms do not hold adjustment very well and move around.
