Gate Closers
Gate closers are among the most integral but often overlooked examples of gate hardware, and at Barrier Components we have designed and developed a wide range of fittings to meet our consumer’s needs. We stock both metal and timber gate closers, with our products available in all shapes and sizes for both light and heavy duty gates. Take our adjustable tension spring hinge for light duty gates, which is ideal for fittings surrounding swimming pools and other potential hazards.
Types of Gate Closers
Gates that are opened regularly, such as entrance gates or gates that grant access to a garden or driveway typically have gate closers installed. Here at Barrier Components, we stock a variety of gate closers to suit all gate types and materials.
Metal Gate Closers
Our range of metal gate closers can be installed on various types of gates, including wooden, steel and aluminium gates and are available as surface-mounted, hidden, and overhead gate closers. Whereas concealed closers are concealed inside the gate and the post, surface-mounted closers are attached to the surface of the gate and the post. A sliding arm is used by overhead closers, which are located above the gate, used to close the gate.
Hydraulic Gate Closers
Hydraulic gate closers are the most commonly used gate closers, and use hydraulic fluid to control the speed and force of the gate as it closes. When the gate is opened, the spring or hydraulic mechanism is compressed, and when the gate is released, the mechanism slowly returns to its original position, closing the gate behind it.
Gate Closer Hinges
Our range of SureClose gate closers have been designed to offer seamless, frictionless functionality as a substitute for typical commercial gate hinges and closers. The hinges will self close from 90 degrees and have no hold open facility.

Gate Closers FAQ’s
What are gate closers?
Gate closers are pieces of hardware used to automatically close a gate after it has been opened. They are commonly used in commercial and residential settings to ensure that gates remain closed and secure.
What is the best closer for a heavy gate?
The ideal closer for a heavy gate will rely on a number of elements, such as the gate's weight and size, the sort of hinge it uses, and the degree of control you want over the gate's movement. Hydraulic gate closers are the most commonly used gate closers for heavy gates.
How do gate closers stop a gate from slamming shut?
Gate closers work by using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure to slow down the gate's closing speed and gently guide it to a close. This resistance helps to prevent the gate from slamming shut.
