Pedestrian Gate Closers, also known as gas gate closers, are an effective solution for safely closing pedestrian or side gates. They mount directly onto the gate and frame (post) for easy installation and require no electricity.
Durability is assured with the added feature of tube protection, helping to shield the gas strut from weather and environmental elements that may affect performance.
Key Features
- Soft-closing mechanism with inbuilt dampening
- Adjustable key included to modify tension and closing speed
- Reliable gate closure with minimal maintenance required
Product Variations
We offer two gate closers for different gate sizes and weights:
Type 1: Maximum weight of 62.5kg and gate dimensions of 750–1200mm.
Type 2: Maximum weight of 125kg and gate dimensions of 750–2000mm.
Please note these are general guidelines, as hinge friction, mounting surface, and gate construction may influence the suitable gate closer required.
How Do I Install the Pedestrian Gate Closer?
Please follow the instructional video found on this page.
- Locate where you prefer to install the gate closer.
- Mark the distance of the brackets.
- Drill and mount the brackets.
- Install the gate closer onto the mounting brackets using the nuts and bolts.
- Adjust the mounting locations or force as needed.
Please note: Pedestrian gate closers contain high-pressure gas. Exercise caution when releasing pressure to reduce force within the struts.
How Do I Adjust the Gate Speed and Tension?
There are two methods for adjusting the gate closer. Lower force and tension settings result in a slower-closing gate.
- On the fixed bracket, there are different mounting levels. For faster closing, use the mounting hole closer to the edge. For slower closing, use the mounting hole closest to the frame.
- Using the adjusting key, unscrew the ball joint end fitting and insert the key to release pressure for one second at a time.
Why Choose Our Gate Closer?
