How do you adjust a TRU close hinge?

To adjust a TRU close hinge, you adjust the horizontal adjuster dials to achieve the desired gate gap and operation.

Adjusting TRU Close Hinges

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to adjust TRU close hinges based on the reference provided:

Individual Hinge Adjustment: The hinges are adjusted one at a time. This allows for precise control over the gate's alignment and closing action.
Achieving a Large Gate Gap: When adjusting, you can create a large gate gap. This is helpful when setting the initial position of the gate.
Using Horizontal Adjuster Dials: The hinges utilize horizontal adjuster dials for adjustment.
Locking the Adjusters: Once the desired gate gap and operation are achieved, the horizontal adjuster dials are turned back to the locked position. This secures the adjusted position.
Check Gate Operation: Finally, check the gate operation after adjusting to ensure it opens and closes smoothly with the desired gap.

Start with Small Adjustments: It's better to make small adjustments and then re-evaluate the gate's operation. This way, you can avoid over-adjusting and having to go back and re-do the process.
Check All Hinges: Make sure to check and adjust all TRU close hinges on your gate. Uneven adjustment can cause the gate to bind or not close correctly.
Refer to the Manual: Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for your specific hinge model for any additional instructions or recommendations.
