Lockey SSCHD Sumo Heavy Duty Self-closing Gate Hinges

Product Description

The LOCKEY SSCHD is a heavy-duty, adjustable self-closing gate hinge set designed for demanding gate applications where controlled, automatic closure is required. Known as the Sumo SafeClose series, these hinges provide consistent closing tension across a wide range of gate weights and sizes. The unit ships as a set and is rated for high-cycle use in both residential and light commercial settings. At 1.6 pounds per set and compact enough to fit a range of gate frame profiles, the SSCHD is built for installers who need reliable performance without constant field adjustment.

The SSCHD is suited for wood, vinyl, aluminum, and steel gates in pool enclosures, fence lines, and access-controlled entry points. The self-closing mechanism makes it particularly relevant in pool barrier applications where local codes require gates to self-close and self-latch. Gate installers, fence contractors, and pool service professionals are the primary trades that specify and install this product. It is sold as a single unit (EA) with a case quantity of 20 for volume orders.

Installation Notes

Gate hinges of this type are installed by fence contractors and pool enclosure specialists. Before installation, confirm the gate frame and post are structurally sound and capable of supporting the hinge mounting hardware. Use appropriate fasteners for the gate material — wood, aluminum, or steel — and verify that the closing tension adjustment is set and tested before final sign-off. In pool barrier applications, verify that the completed gate assembly meets local jurisdiction requirements for self-closing and self-latching gates per applicable building or health codes.
