Common questions about the accessories Accessories

How many bracket sets do I need per panel?

One set per rail-to-post connection is the rule of thumb — a three-rail panel meeting a post needs three, and corners take corner sets instead of line sets. Send us your layout and we'll count them for you.

Self-closing or heavy-duty hinges — which do I want?

Self-closing hinges shut the gate behind people automatically, which pools and pet yards want. Heavy-duty hinges are about carrying wider, heavier gates. If your gate is both big and needs to self-close, ask us — that's a spec worth getting right.

Is a gravity latch enough for a pool gate?

Pool codes usually require a self-latching mechanism at a specific height, and the details vary by jurisdiction. A gravity latch can qualify in some setups, but verify your local code before you order — we can help you read it.

Can I put self-closing hinges on my existing gate?

Usually, if the gate frame and post are compatible sizes. Send photos of the gate, hinge side, and post, and we'll confirm which configuration fits before you buy.

Why is everything quoted instead of priced flat?

Because 168 configurations means the right answer depends on your fence. Quoting catches mismatches before they ship — cheaper for everyone than returns.
