Gate Closer

admin

Hello everyone: Is there a better gate closer out there than that cant slam closer, Ive seen one called a TB 400, has anyone ever installed one before. The can't slam only last about a yr and its ready for the scrap pile.
Reply:I found a Kant-Slam on ebay for around $35.  I've had it on my 4 ft wood picket/2x4 gate for about a year.  I sure hope it lasts longer than what you experienced cus it sure closes nice....you don't hear a thing.  This is our primary passage way for our family (5) and all the kids friends.It is probably heavier than what you'd spec for a lightweight wooden gate.  I usually see these on steel gates for apartments and commercial properties.http://www.hi-lift.com/kant-slam/index.htmlThat TB400 looks nice...but out of my league at almost $200.Miller 211 w/ spool gunMiller Dynasty 200DXLongevity 60i IGBT plasmaO/A w/ crappy chinese torch/gaugesSouth Bend 10K latheGrizzly 4029 10x54 millGrizzly 7x12 hor bandsawangle grnders, bench grnder, bench belt sndr7.5 hp 80gal cmprsor

Reply:Well I installed one of those high dallar closers at a pool I will see how long it last and post an update.
Reply:You are better of using a gas spring closure. I have installed many of these in the past and have had no problems at all. Just make sure you do not let out too much gas when installing, as you can not refill!.iron gates
Reply:Kant-Slam is a well known closer in the ornamental world. I would say that 65% of the people use them and they hardly have problems.
