Features:
- Adaptable – The closer comes with weld-on brackets for fitting to a range of different gate types.
- Reliable – A proven closer that has been closing gates regularly for many years.
- Adjustable force – No need to release gas; the closer can be moved along the brackets to increase or decrease the force. This means the strength of the close can be adjusted.
- From experience, these closers can close much heavier gates if the hinges are free running. Contact us if you are unsure on your particular gate.
