Locinox RHINO 180° Hydraulic Retrofit Gate Closer for Compatible Locinox Hinges – Gates Up to 330 lb
Product Description
The Locinox RHINO is a hydraulic retrofit gate closer that connects directly to compatible Locinox 180-degree gate hinges, converting the existing hinge system into a self-closing solution. Its direct connection provides efficient energy transfer without a conventional sliding rail or exposed closer arm.
Designed for gates weighing up to 330 lb and measuring between approximately 35-7/16" and 60" wide, the RHINO provides adjustable closing speed and final snap. Integrated pretension supports smooth installation and operation, while the weather-resistant hydraulic system maintains consistent closing performance during temperature changes.
The compact anodized aluminum housing is weatherproof, scratch-resistant and corrosion-free. The RHINO is reversible for left- or right-opening gates and is available in black or silver.
