  • FAQ's

    Q: What is a TruClose hinge?
    A: TruClose is a self-closing gate hinge by D&D Technologies that uses an internal polymer spring mechanism — no exposed springs that can corrode, break or snag. The closing tension is adjustable, and the hinge is designed to last the lifetime of the gate. It's widely specified for safety-critical applications like pool fencing and childcare facilities.

    Q: Do MagnaLatch products meet safety regulations?
    A: Yes — MagnaLatch products are designed to meet pool and child safety standards across multiple countries, including BS EN 13241 in the UK. They use a magnetic latching mechanism that requires deliberate, two-handed operation to open — making them suitable for restricting unsupervised access by young children.

    Q: Can D&D Technologies hinges be used on metal gates?
    A: Yes — D&D Technologies offers TruClose hinges specifically designed for metal (steel and aluminium) gate frames, as well as timber and vinyl gates. Check the specific model for compatibility.
