Do you have to feed or work in the garden? Do you find your hands are often full and you have no way to close the gate behind you? Do you have animals that need to stay in a fenced area? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you need a permanent solution that will let you carry everything you need, yet keep animals or gardens protected at the same time.
The best solution is to install self closing gate hinges. These hinges come with a spring and can usually be adjusted by removing a locking pin and using a hex wrench to tighten or loosen the tension. The hinges are easy to install. Simply install the hinge to the gate, then attack the spring side to the post.
There are many advantages of using self closing hinges. You can keep pets and children safe, as the gate will slowly close automatically and you will have no worries about the area being secured. When the gate closes on its own, it can latch itself as well, if the right latch is installed.
Self closing gates are a good idea if you feed livestock and have to carry buckets of feed. You don’t need to worry about turning around, putting things down, and closing the gate yourself. You can focus on what you’re doing.
If you have a fenced garden to keep deer and other animals out, you know how important it is to keep it closed at all times. You can take your gardening tools and simply get to work, without worrying about the gate closing.
Self closing hinges are inexpensive and offer plenty of convenience. They can also be considered a safety feature, if you’re concerned about keeping pets or children in the yard. They are suitable for farm and agricultural use, as well as for yards, swimming pool areas, and gardens.
If you struggle with your hands full, trying to close the gate or have children and pets who may wander, you need self closing gate hinges. They are inexpensive to buy and easy to install with a few simple tools. If you or family members forget to close the gate, self closing hinges make a great solution. You won’t ever have to worry about whether the gate is closed and can focus on what you’re doing, rather than on emptying your arms to go back and close the gate.
