Tired of someone leaving the gate open? This is one of my favorite solutions to that problem. The BadAss Self-Closing Hinge!

[@newnewmee44]

if the post in not placed straight in the ground that the hinges if welded too, the gate will close on its own due to gravity. That is one way to make any door self closing.

We used to have a chain attached to a pole with a brake drum over it.

I've done self closing gates for years with standard hinges by offsetting the bottom hinge an inch to the opening side. No welding, no springs, no need to buy yee-haw, woop-de-doo self closing hinges. I guess I been doing it wrong these 40 years...

[@galewinds7696]

Yep.........sounds like it...........

[@mikelastname]

The offset hinge works well but offends my aesthetic sensibilities. I really like the big bulky spring-loaded hinges with the tiny set screws - that way you can open the gate without it screeching and alerting the cows.

Love a good spring gate!

[@t3dwards13]

I understand the idea of self closing gates...But what if you're alone, and need to drive through it?

[@robertfleming5829]

Awesome comment award.

[@robertevers8299]

Awesome I love the bad ass hinges

[@NoahDevine91]

Tiny screws, cold hands, but warm heart 😂 that’s a BOP lmao

[@SWiFence]

🤣

[@geoffrees4750]

Great video you blokes. Here in Australia if you’re having trouble locating those tiny screws, we say, put a bit of hair around it!

[@kubotajordan9502]

Nice video !!

[@AmenMama-qe4sq]

You guys are awesome!❤

[@healyburnham393]

Thankyou. I saw this problem 60 years ago, and never heard the answer...

[@russellwhite8890]

I was thinking you should put two spring hinges on it and that would help it shut.

[@tomnekuda3818]

Good upload.....where you guys at in Wyoming?

[@SWiFence]

Cody, Casper, Cheyenne

[@gregturnbull9001]

you reckon the slam latch would work on double gates?

[@SWiFence]

It could work on a double gate, although one gate would still have to have a drop rod.

[@rogerbettencourt9654]

That’s a lot of material you guys are using for your videos, good thing that it’s coming out of Dans check. Lol

[@SWiFence]

It's for the greater good. 😁

[@RHEC1776]

Me putting 4 of those hindges on 😂😂😂

[@t3dwards13]

I understand the idea of self closing gates...But what if you're alone, and need to drive through it?

[@SWiFence]

A valid question. You'd have to prop it open on your way through. If you usually drive through your gates by yourself it might not be the best fit.

[@jimw7ry]

If it only opens one way, weld one of the releases so it cant be swung the wrong way. 🙃😉😊😁

[@RHEC1776]

Ddaammmnnnn $155 😮😮😮

[@finallyfriday.]

No offense but do you guys still build fences with all the videos you do? Do you still have a fence company?

[@SWiFence]

Ha! You bet. We actually just squeeze videos in here and there.

[@finallyfriday.]

@@SWiFence Like James Brown who was "the hardest working man in rock-n-roll" You're the hardest working men in fencing. Hahaha

[@galewinds7696]

We used to get out and open the gate...........and then closed it...........

[@MarkkuS]

So wasteful, but that's the yesteryears for you 😂

[@SWiFence]

Stop it! You're reminding me of what it was like to change the channel!
