Automatic Gate Closer with Heavy Duty Steel Bar, Self Closing Gate Hinges Ideal for Metal Gate in The Outdoors Like in The Backyard, for Dog Fence, Pool gate

Fantastic simple closer. Keeps the gate closed all the time even though there is no lock on.Simple few minutes installation. You just need to tighten those bolts in and all is good.

I got this to use on the gate between my backyard and a salt marsh behind it. I have young kids and a dog so I prefer the gate to be kept closed.Installation was pretty simple. Just install the brackets on both poles and insert the bar between them. The only tricky thing is tightening both sides of the clamps with the gate closed. This thing claims to be for doors also but unless your door is made from fence poles this won't work. One bracket fits the diameter of an end post and the other fits the diameter of a gate pole. I can't remember the dimensions off the top of my head but my fence and gate are standard so whatever those are.It works well, but doesn't work like a normal door closer. When the gate is almost all the way closed this has barely any tension so it isn't good for holding a gate totally closed. This is where I wish I had the butterfly style latch and I will probably end up getting one. If you open the gate and walk through, there is plenty of closing tension to close it and latch it that way. The instructions tell you to adjust the lower bracket up and down to adjust tension. I have not played with that yet but I think the closer the two brackets are together the more tension there should be.

Kept getting loose and would not help the gate shut on its own. Worked a couple of times and then it loosened enough that it no longer worked. I orderedd a spring-based one to replace it and that works like a charm. Wish I would have known in time to return my order. Waste of money

Product is not able to close gate completely

Works great! Had to put two set screws in to keep brackets from movingBut works fine now

When we didn't latch our back gate our pup got out..he's a pain to catch..this works well with a butterfly latch to keep him in the yard.

It works, but not enough!When the opens enough to pass through, the spring plate bends slightly so the gate won’t return fully to latch. It does the same thing in either direction.

This part works great, the latch i got to go with it not so well. I'm looking into different latches keeping the closer.
