Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Ensure your boundary gates never stay open accidentally with the Gatemate Self-Closing Hinges Without Legs. Forged from industrial-grade, glass-reinforced polymer composite, these high-performance hinges feature a hidden, internal torsion spring mechanism. Designed “without legs” for a completely flush, surface-mount installation, they deliver a clean aesthetic that doesn’t overhang narrow gate frames, posts, or brick piers.
Adjustable Closing Speed: Easily tune the internal spring tension with the included tool to control exactly how fast and firmly your gate slams shut.
100% Rustproof Composite Construction: Engineered from high-strength black polymer that will never rust, corrode, pit, or stain your timber.
Clean “Without Legs” Profile: Eliminates wrap-around alignment legs, allowing a seamless surface-mount on both square and round-edged timber posts.
High Load Capacity: Marine-grade internals safely handle gate weights up to 25 kg per pair (depending on model size selected), meeting strict residential and pool safety standards.

Traditional steel gate springs are prone to rust, look unsightly, and lose their tension after a few cold winters. The Gatemate Self-Closing High-Performance Polymer Hinge Set modernizes outdoor safety. By embedding a fully adjustable, heavy-duty spring mechanism inside an attractive, UV-stabilized black composite casing, these hinges provide a permanent auto-close solution that remains entirely unaffected by freezing frosts, deep mud, or heavy rain.
The “without legs” flat-leaf design is highly favored by trade installers. Without fixing legs wrapping around the side of the wood, these hinges offer total mounting flexibility—making them ideal for flush-fitting pedestrian side gates, swimming pool perimeters, and domestic garden openings where safety and style must coexist.
Tool-Adjustable Torsion Core: Features an accessible adjustment point so you can adapt the closing swing velocity to counteract strong seasonal head-winds.
Vertical Alignment Slots: Built with integrated adjusting slots on the mounting plates, allowing you to fine-tune the vertical level during or after installation as the timber settles.
Sleek Hardware Cover Caps: Supplied with matching snap-on rubber blanking caps to hide the tension adjustment holes and screw heads, creating a premium, tamper-proof finish.
Zero Bleeding or Staining: Unlike traditional metal ironmongery, these composite hinges completely eliminate ugly orange chemical running lines from bleeding down your treated timber.

Pro Tip: Mount the hinges flat across the front seam of your gate and post while utilizing the built-in vertical slots to level the gate leaf perfectly. Once completely screwed down, use the provided tensioning hex tool to wind the internal spring clockwise. We recommend setting the top hinge 1 to 2 clicks tighter than the bottom hinge; this uneven spring load balance ensures a highly fluid, snapping closure action that effortlessly engages standard auto-catch or ring latches every single time.
