Hinge Tension Adjustment
NOTE:
HINGE TENSION IS PRE-SET AT THE
FACTORY AND USUALLY DOES NOT REQUIRE
ADJUSTMENT. If you wish to change tension
setting/gate swing speed, or completely
disable the self-closing feature, please see the
following:
a. Place included allen wrench into head of tension
adjustment pin in hinge. The head is at the end
closest to the + or - symbol on the hinge barrel
(Fig. 13).
b. While holding the tension adjustment pin with
allen wrench, press the opposite end of the pin
into the hinge barrel. This will cause the head
of the tension adjustment pin to extend beyond
the hinge barrel (Fig. 13).
NOTE:
DO NOT remove the allen wrench or release the
tension on the tension adjustment pin at any
time during the adjustment.
c. Following the indicators on the + or - symbol
on the hinge barrel, turn the tension adjustment
pin toward + to tighten, or toward - to loosen.
DO NOT adjust by more than ¼ turn, unless you
want to disable the self-closing feature (Fig. 13).
– Self-closing feature can be disabled by
loosening the tension adjustment pin one full
turn.
– Do not over-tighten or over-loosen the tension
adjustment pin, as this may damage the
tension spring.
d. When you have set the desired tension, press
down on the head of the tension adjustment pin
to lock it back into the hinge barrel. Tabs on pin
head will fit into notches in hinge barrel when
pin is in fully locked position (Fig. 14).
