The closing force comes from a spring in the barrel, and it can be set to either direction of swing with a half turn of the bolt. The set has a maximum 180 degree range and adjustable closing speed. One spring is rated for 10kg, and heavier gates should use more than one spring. Do not over-tension the spring, as this will damage it. The price shown is for one complete set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/self-closing-sprung-gate-hinge-set-round-tube-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the self-closing sprung gate hinge set for round tube, showing the spring barrel, plates, screws and washers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this set works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a mechanical answer to a simple problem.\u003c\/strong\u003e A spring in a barrel pulls the gate shut with no hydraulic oil to worry about and very little to go wrong.

If you are working in 33.7mm, 42.4mm or 48.3mm tube, our pre-welded hinge sets are made for those exact sizes. For a gate built from square section, use the set made for square section.

Weld the plates to the post and gate tubes in line with each other, allow them to cool, then assemble the barrel, spring and pin with the screws and washers supplied, following the assembly details included with the set. With the gate held in its closed position, turn the bolt half a turn in the direction that matches the swing you want. Open and release the gate to check it closes, and adjust only as far as you need. Over-tensioning will damage the spring, so stop as soon as the gate returns reliably. Heavier gates need additional springs rather than more tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the screws and the bolt at routine inspections.
