SUREClose® READYFit
Compact, heavy-duty, externally mounted hydraulic hinge/closers
D&D is pleased to announce the launch of our NEW SureClose ReadyFit hydraulic hinge/closer. The new ReadyFit complements our already highly successful SureClose line and now offers external mounting capability. Now there’s no need for drilling large holes in the post.
ReadyFit models come with side fixing legs for quick alignment and multiple, double-face fixing points for superior strength. Mounting bracket options include steel and aluminum that can either be welded or fastened, and fasteners are included. ReadyFit features vertical alignment slots and horizontal adjustment, or gate gap, is controlled via the unit’s built-in adjustment feature.
The new ReadyFit models are 100 percent externally mounted to save time and money. The mounting system is designed for use on metal, wood and vinyl gates. Like all SureClose models, the heavy-duty ReadyFit comes in a variety of closing options to cater to all types of commercial and residential gates. There’s a version offering adjustable gate-closing speed and final snap-close action (to overcome electric or coded locks), and a load-bearing model that is non-self-closing for use on access control gates with a weight capacity of 1,500 lbs.
The new models will self-close gates weighing up to 260 lbs. ReadyFit also provides improved performance and tamper-resistance, with the adjustable snap-close feature now providing 30% stronger action when required. One option includes a “hold-open” feature and permits gates to swing 180°. Each ReadyFit comes with a handy adjustment tool and provides a gate gap variance of 1/2 in. to 1-3/8 in., which suits a wide variety of new and existing gates.
ReadyFit is designed to replace separate hinges and closers in one powerful unit that does not require a gate header. Projects with heavier gates (up to 260 lbs.) that require a high level of tamper-resistance and superior performance include commercial/business complexes, government, schools, childcare centers, playgrounds, hotel/motels, shopping centers, apartments, marinas, and high-end residential gates.

*All ReadyFit hinges include fasteners, gate and post mounting brackets.
**Yes (SF) = Gate will not hold open at 90
°
(OK for safety gates). Do NOT use a hinge with a 90
°
hold open feature (-) for pool/child safety gates.
IMPORTANT: For maximum gate weights, see weight chart above.
CAUTION: A gate stop must be installed when using SF models. Gate must not be allowed to open past 90
°
. Doing so voids warranty.
