KwikFit Self Closing Spring Hinges / Pool Gate Hinges

The KwikFit Self Closing Spring Hinges are purpose-built pool gate hinges that automatically return pool gates to the closed position after every use. This self closing hinge uses an internal spring mechanism to close the gate reliably without manual help. It meets the AS 1926.1 pool safety standard requirement for self-closing pool gate hardware. The KwikFit design allows quick adjustment of the spring tension and closing speed for different gate weights.

Black powder-coated aluminium construction makes this self closing hinge resistant to corrosion, UV, and chlorine splash in poolside environments. The black finish coordinates with black aluminium pool fencing panels and posts for a clean, professional look. Each set comes as a pair, giving you two adjustable spring hinges for full gate support.

This hinge suits aluminium pool gates, garden gates, and side gates wherever AS 1926.1 compliant hardware is needed. Browse the full range of pool gate hardware, including latches, D-latches, and fence panels.

Why Choose a Self Closing Hinge for Pool Gates?

First and foremost, this pool gate hinge closes the gate every time without relying on users to latch it manually. Furthermore, Australian pool safety standards require all pool gates to be self-closing and self-latching. This makes a compliant hinge essential for every pool gate installation. As a result, property owners avoid legal and safety risks from a gate left open after use. In addition, adjustable spring tension lets installers set the closing speed to prevent slamming or slow movement. According to the Queensland Pool Safety guidelines, all pool gates must use compliant self-closing hinges and latches.

Tips for Installing Pool Gate Hinges

Before installation, confirm the gate and post are correctly aligned and the gate swings freely. Then, mount the top hinge first and check the gate hangs level before fitting the bottom one. In addition, adjust spring tension after fitting both hinges to confirm the gate closes fully from its widest open position. Finally, test the self-closing action from multiple positions to confirm compliance with pool safety requirements.
