Locinox is an industry-trusted gate hinge manufacturer that is well-known for its commitment to excellence through trial-tested products. They test every hinge for 500,000 cycles to ensure functionality and durability, helping them stand out from other inferior products from competitors. If you're building a gate for your home or a client location, you'll need an option that will keep the gate locked in place. Dropbolts are a great way to ensure the gate remains closed since they've got to be pushed down in order to properly lock. Consider the Locinox hot dipped galvanized dropbolt, which easily installs and retrofits, so it can be used with many different gates.

This dropbolt comes at an affordable price point that will make it easy to stock up on whether you're a homeowner or homebuilder. It works by auto-locking between the double wings, so it's extremely easy to use. The Locinox hot dipped galvanized dropbolt is made of durable aluminum with a 5 1/2" throw. The drop bolt's height can be adjusted by four inches. The aluminum has been hot dipped, meaning it was coated with a layer of molten zinc to galvanize the metal. The zinc then acts as a protective layer, extending the life of your dropbolts while also looking very professional and attractive on metal gates. When deciding between materials, galvanized metal will be a lasting, maintenance-free investment. We include the mounting hardware with your purchase so the dropbolts can be installed right away. When you purchase 10 or more drop bolts, your order will qualify for a quantity discount. This is ideal for those building fencing with multiple gates or for installers who quickly go through these during the week. We help you save on high-quality gate hardware here at HardwareSource!

Warranty

GATE CLOSER PRODUCT LIABILITY DISCLAIMER
TERMS OF USE, WARRANTY & LIABILITY WAIVER

Locinox NV and Locinox USA LLC. offers its products with the terms, conditions and notices as follows. The following terms and conditions apply to all sales and uses. Please review carefully. These terms and conditions include limited warranties and disclaimers of liabilities. Keeping, using or allowing use of Locinox’s products indicates your agreement to these terms. If you do not wish to agree to these terms, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to return the unused & unopened product.

Terms of use

This product is offered to you conditioned upon your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein.

Inspect Before Each Use

This product must be inspected for use to ensure it has not been damaged in shipment. If damaged, do not use and immediately return the product to Locinox NV or Locinox USA. LLC. for a repair or replacement.

Exclusive Obligation

This product has been designed for closing gates, but it was neither designed nor manufactured to warrant a closed gate.

Limited Replacement Warranty

Locinox warrants the Products against defects in materials and workmanship under “Normal Use” for a period of three (3) years from the date of purchase or achieving 500,000 cycles, whichever comes first. “Normal Use” is described as manually opening a gate, but not beyond the maximum opening angle as specified in Locinox Product Literature and on the Locinox website, and letting it shut automatically; as can be witnessed in the Locinox installation videos on the Locinox website under the Video Zone (respectively Samson-2, Samson Chainlink, Tiger, Mammoth, Verticlose-2, VTC-2 Wall, Lion and Rhino Installation Videos).

Professional Installation & Assumption of Risk

Locinox Products should be installed only by professional installers or manufacturers and must be correctly installed according to the installation instructions that are joined with the Product.

More specifically, YOU SHOULD use the pre-mounted Quick-Fix anchor bolts (each bolt has 2,000 lbs holding force). You should follow the instructions for the installation of your closer, and if you have questions contact Locinox. You SHOULD DRILL THE HOLES IN THE POST AND GATE PROFILE ACCORDING TO THE EXACT SPECIFICATIONS ON THE INSTALLATION MANUAL. Drilling holes which are too wide might risk the gate to fall off. You should use the existing holes of the product itself and the mounting hardware. You should install in the correct direction.

More specifically, YOU SHOULD NOT USE YOUR OWN FIXATION BOLTS, or DRILL & TAP for installation. YOU SHOULD NOT ADJUST THE FORCE of the closer without contacting tech support. YOU SHOULD NOT DRILL OR BOLT THROUGH THE PRODUCT MATERIAL BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT WILL MAKE FOR A STRONGER CONNECTION. YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL THE WRONG SIDE UP OR ON THE WRONG SIDE ON THE POST. ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE CONSIDERED FAULTY INSTALLATION AND WILL VOID YOUR PRODUCT WARRANTY.

By buying, using, or allowing the use of products of Locinox NV or Locinox USA, LLC. products, you understand and agree that the installation or manipulation of gates and fences requires a specific skillset and experience brought forward by industry experts, and, to the extent permitted by law, YOU EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THE RISK OF DEATH OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY SUSTAINED WHILE OR AFTER INSTALLATION OR MANIPULATION OF THESE PRODUCTS WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER FAULT OF Locinox NV or Locinox USA, LLC. including but not limited to product malfunction from whatever cause, or any other fault of Locinox NV or Locinox USA, LLC. Additionally, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Locinox NV or Locinox USA, LLC. harmless from any third party claims arising from such installation or use.

Improper Installation

This warranty does not cover damage due to improper installation, repair, operation or maintenance or connections to improper voltage supply or, to the extent allowed by law, attempted repair by anyone other than a facility authorized by Locinox to service your Locinox Product. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state (and jurisdiction to jurisdiction).

Severe Weather Conditions & Force Majeur

Products sold by Locinox have been specifically designed for outdoor conditions. However, this warranty does not cover defects due to normal wear and tear or aging (e.g. discoloration), or flaws or damages resulting from continued exposure to severe weather conditions (humidity, temperature, salinity, erosion, etc…). This warranty does not cover damage (i) due to acts of God, other forces beyond our reasonable control, such as internet or power outages, wars, riots, terrorism, labor disputes, earthquakes, floods or other events of “force majeure,” accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, commercial use or modification of, or to any part of your Product; (ii) caused by any third party product, service or system, use of the Product for purposes other than for which the Product was designed or intended, or use in improper temperature, humidity or other environmental conditions, or use of the Product in violation of written instructions provided by Locinox (which may be provided at the time of purchase or on its website at http://www.Locinox.com).

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY AND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER ORAL, WRITTEN, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND ARE LIMITED TO THE INITIAL PURCHASER.

I have a hinge that I am trying to replace but I need help identifying it. Can you help?

Yes! Please click here to visit our Hinge Finder page.

Some of your hinges are sold by the each and some sell by the pair. What is the difference?

When the unit of measure says “pair” that means two hinges. Usually you need one pair of hinges per door. When the unit of measure says “each” that means one hinge. You would usually order 2 “each” hinges per door.

I want to replace my hinges. How do I make sure the screw holes on the new hinge match the screw holes on the old hinge so I do not have to redrill the holes?

Unfortunately, hinge manufacturers have never standardized the location of their screw hole patterns. Every manufacturer puts their screw holes in a slightly different place. This means that when you replace hinges you will almost certainly have to do some filling and redrilling. The exception to this is Architectural door hinges which are built to a standardized template for each size hinge.
