KwikFit Plain Gate Hinges by D&D Technologies (Non Self-Closing)

The KwikFit Plain Gate Hinges by D&D Technologies are non-self-closing gate hinges designed to support garden gates, side gates, driveway gates, and property access points. This plain gate hinge gives smooth, reliable swing action without the spring mechanism of self-closing models, making it the right choice for gates that do not require automatic closure. The KwikFit design allows for quick installation onto existing posts and gates with minimal adjustment required.

This hinge suits a wide variety of applications where gate weight and traffic do not require forced closure. Each hinge mounts to the gate post and gate leaf with standard fixings and provides a pivot point that holds the gate firmly while allowing it to swing freely in both directions. Sold as a pair, each set provides two hinges for complete gate support.

Manufactured from black powder-coated aluminium by D&D Technologies, this hinge resists corrosion and UV exposure in Australian outdoor conditions. Browse the full range of pool fencing and gate hardware at Discount Landscape Supplies, including self-closing hinges, latches, and panels.

Why Choose a Plain Gate Hinge?

First and foremost, a non-self-closing hinge suits gates where automatic closure is not required. Furthermore, the absence of a spring mechanism means there is no tension to adjust and no springs to wear out over time. As a result, this gate hinge delivers years of smooth, maintenance-free swing action with minimal upkeep. In addition, the KwikFit design reduces installation time significantly compared to traditional weld-on or bolt-through hinge types. According to Standards Australia, non-pool gates and decorative garden gates do not require self-closing hardware, making a non-spring hinge an ideal and practical choice.

Tips for Installing Gate Hinges

Before installation, confirm the gate and post are correctly aligned and the gate hangs level before fixing hinges permanently. Then, mount the top hinge first and check the gate hangs plumb before fitting the bottom one. In addition, check for adequate clearance between the gate leaf and post to ensure the gate swings fully without binding. Finally, apply a light lubricant to the hinge pivot point after installation to ensure smooth, quiet operation from day one.
