Each hinge includes a backplate. The combination of top and back plates are such that the hinge is laterally adjustable, which makes it easy to deal with a gate whose fence post may have shifted from its original perfectly aligned position. This is applicable especially for those cases where a fence post is not properly cemented in place. The tension adjustment is easily accessible. Simply unscrew the cap located at the top of the middle portion of the hinge, insert a large blade screwdriver (you will not succeed with a standard-sized blade screwdriver), push down the tension-release component with the screwdriver, and then turn right or left to tighten or loosen, respectively, the tension coil within the hinge. Two recommendations, based upon the previous hinges of the same type that I replaced: (1) Do not push down hard on the screwdriver. If you do so, then you may end up popping the tension coil out the bottom of the hinge. It can be reinserted, but this requires patience and a good-natured personality; (2) When tightening or loosing the tension-release component, try making your adjustment in quarter-turn increments. Trust me, a quarter-turn more often than not is all that is needed to set the proper tension to close your gate. All in all, this is an excellent product, but the price point, in my opinion, is high. Yes, it is competitive in price with other brands and similar hinge types, but this is not solid metal. I have to believe it is reasonably inexpensive to manufacture this product, so you price is all in the markup. It's one of those items you need, and "they" know you need it, if you get my drift. However, the price is worth the return on investment. My previous set of hinges of this same type lasted around ten years. Unfortunately, after I had adjusted the tension coils, the wear and tear was such that the gate did not latch closed properly. One day a particular nasty windstorm ripped my gate off its hinges. I replaced the gate. When I noticed over time that the same latching problem started to occur, I took proactive measures and purchased this replacement hinge set. So, figure that at current prices, it will cost you about $7 to $8 per year for the hinge set. To answer what likely is the next question on your mind, yes, I recommend this product without any reservation. Review: Great operating hinges for my fiberglass gates - use these for my new porch fiberglass rails gates 10 years ago and they’re still working fine. We will definitely re-order this product if these ever go bad. ## Features - 3-IN-1 ADJUSTABILITY: Patented 3-way easy adjustment using only a screwdriver. Tension for closing force, as well as, horizontal, and vertical adjustment for quick, easy installation, and a perfect fit. When your gate moves due to ground movement (hot and cold weather) (wet and dry weather) easy to identify dials make it quick and simple to adjust the gate hinges: 1-turn of the dial to adjust and 1-turn to lock. - HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION, NOT Plastic: UV stabilized, industrial-strength metal repacement polymer and stainless steel components create durable heavy duty hinges designed for fence gate applications up to 154 lbs with superior weather resistance and longevity. Won't rust, bind, sag or stain. - LOW MAINTENANCE: Durable self-lubricating design ensure these heavy duty gate hinges maintain smooth operation through temperature changes and outdoor conditions year-round for lasting performance. Large spring equals long life & great closing power. Fast installation with built-in brackets. - FOR VINYL OR COMPOSITE GATES : This durable gate hinge for outdoor gates are made for square post vinyl or composite gates weighing up to 154 pounds with a 5/8” to 1 11/16” gate frame to fence post gap. This hinge requires a minimum gate post and fence post of 3” for proper installation. - COMES WITH : Two black gate hinges, mounting brackets, and stainless steel screws fit on most fence gates. Remove old gate hardware before installing new gate hinges. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CVMVSQWD | | Best Sellers Rank | #104,878 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #106 in Gate Hinges | | Brand Name | D&D TECHNOLOGIES | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (276) | | Finish Types | Unfinished | | Manufacturer | D&D TECHNOLOGIES | | Material Type | Polymer | | Maximum Weight Capacity | 154 Pounds | | Model Number | TCHDMA1S3BT | | Mounting Type | Door Mount | | UPC | 736494013133 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D&D TECHNOLOGIES - **Color:** Series 3 Black - **Finish Type:** Unfinished - **Manufacturer:** D&D TECHNOLOGIES - **Material:** Polymer - **Mounting Type:** Door Mount - **UPC:** 736494013133 - **Weight Limit:** 154 Pounds ## Images ![D&D Technologies TCHDMA1S3BT TruClose Multi-Adjust Heavy Duty S3 Gate Hinge, ... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GY3Msr6WL.jpg) ![D&D Technologies TCHDMA1S3BT TruClose Multi-Adjust Heavy Duty S3 Gate Hinge, ... - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717gmrn5OZL.jpg) ![D&D Technologies TCHDMA1S3BT TruClose Multi-Adjust Heavy Duty S3 Gate Hinge, ... - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BSFOevtqL.jpg) ![D&D Technologies TCHDMA1S3BT TruClose Multi-Adjust Heavy Duty S3 Gate Hinge, ... - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+Crzl91pL.jpg) ![D&D Technologies TCHDMA1S3BT TruClose Multi-Adjust Heavy Duty S3 Gate Hinge, ... - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RRJrV0flL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gets The Job Done *by A***A on March 27, 2021* My order arrived on time and it new condition.
