Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hi-Lift KS-950 Kant-Slam Hydraulic Gate and Door Closer
Customer Review: Works well, sturdy, low profile, difficult for the layperson to install.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kant Slam sure is retro looking, like 1930's retro. This closer is heavy duty. It works really well on the heavy metal gates at my apartment complex. People go in and out of these gates hundreds of times a day and the Kant Slam keeps working. Installation is difficult and the instructions are so wordy it's easy to give up on them and wing it, which will give you bad results. For example, if you had to maladjust it to get your gate to close, you probably didn't know to remove the spacer that is factory-installed (and painted in place) to compress the springs for installation but has to be removed to allow closing. You have to drill through whatever your gate is made of, metal or wood, which may be beyond your abilities. You may have to substitute through bolts depending on the thickness of your material; you may have to supply some washers as spacers if your gate and jamb are not in the same plane; you may have to reinforce your gate at the point where the closer attaches. The only disadvantage of this unit is that the adjustable hydraulic damping that makes the closing action slow varies a bit with temperature. When you set it to close quietly on a winter day, it may close faster and slam during the summer. On the other hand the adjustment screw is big and turns easily by hand so you can make quick season adjustments sans tools. This is the best closer I could find for the money and when you need a closer that stays out of the way on the hinge side of your gate.
Description of Hi-Lift KS-950 Kant-Slam Hydraulic Gate and Door Closer
Kant-Slam is excellent for any self-closing door requirement. It can be used on virtually any type of fencing material for residential, commercial or secured access applications. The Kant-Slam also meets self-closing swimming pool enclosure requirements. A special feature found only in the Kant-Slam is that the closing pressure is self-contained within the unit and is transmitted through components of the closer to the mounting bracket on the frame. The result is no more pressure on the gate or door than from closing by hand. Constructed from steel, brass, teflon and oil resistant neoprene packing, Kant-Slam gives you a long lasting quality product.Tools and Hardware
