Safetech Hardware Spring-Loaded Self Closing Gate Hinges, Heavy Duty Hinges with Adjustable Tension for Wood, PVC & Vinyl Outdoor Gates, Black (CoilKlik SHC-135)

Easy installation, built in adjustment feature works very well.

Heavy-duty product; it keeps my gate closed and pet safe inside the yard. Very happy with this product.

The self closing aspect of these hinges, worked well. The dual adjustments also or a great benefit. The mounting screws provided with the hinges or just over an inch and significantly inadequate, particularly for a heavier gate in which the hinges were rated. We experienced some heavy wind and the gate was blown out and the screws pulled out of the 4 x 4 post.

Hinges worked great

it was as describe and it worked

Worked great... For about 2-4 months! I installed the "Safetech Hardware CoilKlik Self Closing Vinyl Gate Hinges" on a, Lightwieght Vinyl Gate. I first tried the self closing CoilKlick at the lowest setting (15%). It was just barely closing, but not fully engaging the latch. So, I went up to the next setting (30%). That appeared to be okay, it was now closing, and latching. I thought I was all set. Then, over about the next 2 months, it gradually lost tension. I went up to the next setting (45%). Again, that adjustment appeared to be okay. Again, I thought I was all set. But! The same thing happened! Over about the next 2 months, it gradually lost tension. This time, before going to the final CoilKlick maximum (60%). I reset the coil tension back to zero. Then I tried each setting to see if the lower ones might work this time, before going to the maximum. The lower settings did not work. I reluctantly went to the maximum setting. Can you guess what happened next! If you guessed that it lost all tension, AGAIN, after about a 2 month period. You guessed correctly! I installed these on May 18, 2022. Today, November 4, 2022; I attempted to start all over again by doing another coil tension reset. However, this time, the coils would not reset (the mechanism appears to be seized). I'm then thinking, perhaps if I just relieve the coil tension from the maximum setting, it should reset. When I attempted to turn the Hex Keyhole adjustment (just to relieve some pressure on the coil). I could not do this. Because. After so many times of having to increase the tension by turning that soft plastic with the metal Hex Key (or Allen Wrench), that soft plastic Hex Keyhole, is now stripped and unable to be turned. In summary: I got just under 6 months use out of this product. Now I have to go through the trouble of having to rehang my gate. AGAIN! After less than 6 months! This is unacceptable! I hope that someone at Saftetech actually reads these reviews and does the right thing by giving me a FULL refund. My next step is to see how long that takes. If, that happens, and, if that happens quick. I will be giving a much better review than this one for Safetech's Customer Service. The timer starts, NOW… The clock is ticking! Do the right thing Safetech. I am patiently awaiting your response and my refund.

I now would join the chorus of people telling you to avoid these hinges. Adjustable, yes and look nice. Durability no. A few days after one year and now no spring return. Adjust per directions with the included tool proved of no use. Sure take off your gate hinges (I have 2 gates so no gates installed while they are sent in) send them in pre-paid and wait to see if they decide if they will warranty? There are others with the same complaint, so I have little confidence in the replacement. Will be looking for another solution.
