The GCTB175 Garden Gate Closer from Lockey is designed for use on flush fitting metal and timber gates up to 1000mm width and 50kg weight. This closer is hydraulically controlled, with adjustable closing and latching speed to ensure the gate closes in a controlled manner and reduce damage. It is a sturdy device with a powder coated steel construction and it is easy to install as well as being supplied with full instructions. It also has an optional hold open function and it is ideal for use on garden gates, picket gates, barrier gates and lightweight doors (non fire rated). This closer installs on the top, middle or bottom of either the right or left hand of the gate. It mounts on the opening side of gate, pushing it closed. The GCTB175 is not compatible with offset hinge arrangements or arrangements that create more than 50mm between gate post and gate, as it is critical to mount the closer as close as possible to the gate's pivot point. The maximum opening angle of the garden gate closer is 90 degrees so it is important to restrict the opening of the gate to 90 degrees by fitting a gate stop or you will damage the closer.
