## Overview

The KS-950 Kant-Slam Hydraulic Gate Closer is a robust, patent-pending self-closing mechanism designed for gates and doors up to 150 lbs. Its unique hydraulic cylinder and toggle lever system deliver smooth, silent, and controlled closing action while minimizing stress on gate hardware. Weatherproof and compliant with pool gate safety regulations, it’s ideal for residential, commercial, and secured access applications both indoors and outdoors.

## Description

The Kant-Slam is excellent for any self-closing gate or 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!Kant-Slam is great for any self self-closing 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. The exclusive Kant-Slam unit is based on a toggle arrangement of four levers and a vertical hydraulic cylinder. The levers open as the gate or door opens and are closed by two strong springs. The toggle action causes leverage to increase as the spring tension decreases, giving ample closing force at the latching point. Closing speed is controlled by the patent pending cylinder that regulates the flow of oil which in turn produces the desired closing speed.The Kant-Slam closing unit is not affected by inclement weather and can be installed indoors and outdoors. The Kant-Slam can be mounted on many types of gates and doors. Kant-Slam mounts on the opening side of the gate or door and gently but firmly pushes it to a closed position.

Review: It works - Although a few of the reviews stated that it was not straightforward to fit, I tried it anyway. And, I am glad that I did. It is an 'horses for courses' piece of kit to fit and requires some thought as to what sort of gate and fitting you have. My gate has center of post (not edge of post) hinges, so it is necessary to assemble the hinge part, without the springs, and work out where it fits to operate correctly. After that, the rest is easy and it works a treat. Everything is supplied for the fitting, so no searching around for the odd screw etc. Not cheap but it works. No slamming, opening or closing.
Review: This is a great product, it works perfectly. It is also adjustable to fine-tune the closing speed. I have installed two of these on different style gates, one is a 49 inch wide gate to my backyard and the other was installed on a 6 foot wide driveway gate. In both installations the mechanism works well. The driveway installation was done several years ago and it still works perfectly. The manufacturer should make two changes: 1. Improve the written instructions and make a YouTube video showing the installation. Installation is simple, but the instructions are poorly written. 2. The metal shipping clip that must be removed after installation should be painted bright yellow instead of black. Then the instructions should clearly say to remove the yellow metal clip after installation.

*by P***N on 16 May 2020*

Pros: It closes the gate securely every time. Easily adjustable ensuring the gate closes completely but not too hard Attractive hardware (Our HOA is very narrow on what they’ll allow. It was approved quickly). The installation wasn’t difficult (a little fussy, See Below). Cons: Our daughter complains that the gate is now hard to open (You can’t have everything). The installation instructions are not well written. I’ll grant you the instructions for installing the unit are not the easiest to follow. My wife (who is very mechanically inclined) and I sat down at the kitchen table and worked through the assembly with all the parts prior to the actual install. Once we were outside at the gate, the install went reasonably quickly (with a couple caveats). With some of the brackets, the order you put the screws in and tighten them matters. The hardware would block access to some of the screw-holes once the bracket was secured. Spreading the cotter pin was a tad tricky because there wasn’t much room to work. We’ve had the unit up for two months now, and everything is still working perfectly. The gate closed firmly and securely every time. The kids are no longer slamming the gate, which is helping all the gate hardware stay intact. We're very happy with the purchase.
