Tru Close Series 3 Heavy Duty Hinges for Metal/Wood/Vinyl Gates TCHD1S3BT

Great, durable heavy duty hinge for wooden gate. But for the price you pay, directions weren't that great and you still have to buy your own screws. Took an hour worth of research to figure out you need stainless steel pan head #10 screws. Why isn't that in the written instructions.

We bought these for a new hidden door in our fence. It was important to me that everything be on the inside: the latch, the hinges, etc. Our fencing guy thought we would have to have the springs on the outside to get out inside-swinging gate to close. I did some research and came across these hinges, and they did the trick! Everything is inside the fence, with a little metal loop coming through to the street side to release the latch from that side. Really happy with these hinges!*UPDATE: I added some pictures to this review, including the sketch I did for our fencing guy to show what we were working with to begin with. It took some thinking to get the latch right, since I wanted everything on the inside and it didn't line up with the post to latch. We eventually worked out using a standard gate latch for the receptacle part of it, but for the pin that sticks out we used "Boerboel Standard Gate Latch 73023372 Black" which projects out further. Success! I LOVE that these hinges let me not worry about the kids forgetting to shut the gate, and keep the dog in the backyard.

We purchased these hinges last September. They have completely failed to work 8 months later. When they were first installed, they worked perfectly, closing the gate and latching the Pool safety lock when only open 1 inch. After the winter without any adjustment to the hinge, the hinge stopped closing the same gate. The hinges refused to accept changes to the setting, refusing to "lock" into a tightening of the internal spring. Had to replace the hinges with new ones from Home Depot. This brand / model had worked previously but only lasted 3 years, but only costed $9.95 each.

Bought these for a fence we were building. Haven't even has for one year and the internal spring broke and will no longer self close. Given how expensive they were I am highly disappointed.

I used these hinges on a custom screen porch door that i made. They look great and self closing feature is great.

My husband wanted a heavier hinge set for a gate to the pool. Installed easily and works exactly as he wanted.

Very nice hinges, purchased for a swimming pool deck. The spring close was key to prevent toddlers from getting around pool.

Very sturdy and strong. Works great with easy spring tension adjustments.
