Hydraulic Gate Closer
TB200, TB400, TB600
Installation Instructions
Important:
– This gate closer is mounted on the swing/open side of the gate and pushes
the gate closed.
– A Gate Stop must be installed to keep the gate from opening beyond 90
degrees.
– If using tension/spring hinges, release all tension and remove spring
closers.
– Do NOT use bulldog/strap style hinges. For best results, use male/female
style hinges.

KEY:
= Hinge Pin
1= MUST measure 2-4”
Step 1: Secure Post Bracket (#2) to Gate Post This step is the MOST
important. The Post Bracket (#2) MUST be mounted first.
Hold Post Bracket (#2) to the face of the gate post.
Measure from the center of the first hole on Post Bracket (#2A) to the center
of the Hinge Pin.
This measurement MUST be between 2” and 4”.
Clamp bracket into place.
Note: Regardless of hinge arrangement, the measurement from the center of the
Hinge Pin to the center of hole 2A on Post Bracket (#2) must not exceed 4” or
damage to the gate closer may occur.
Step 2: Measure/Secure Gate Bracket (#3)
With the gate in the closed position, attach Fitting Bar (#4) to Post Bracket
(#2) using a Securing Pin (#5) in hole 2-D (shown below (left)).
Next, place a Securing Pin (#5) in the opposite end of the Fitting Bar (#4)
and secure to the Gate Bracket (#3).
Hold Gate Bracket (#3) to the gate and clamp into place.
The distance from the center of hole 2-D and the center of the Gate Bracket
must measure 29 3/8”.
Clamp/secure brackets then remove Fitting Bar (#4).
Note: If wall mounting, use Gate Bracket (#3) on the wall and the Post
Bracket (#2) on the gate (shown below (right)).
Step 3: Verify Measurements in OPEN Position
Open gate 90 degrees from the closed position.
Measure the distance from the center of hole 2D on the Post Bracket (#2) to
the center of the Gate Bracket (#3).
The distance MUST measure 22” or MORE. If the distance is less than 22”, start
back at Step 1.
Once you have verified all measurements, close the gate and secure all mounting
brackets.
Gate in OPEN position:
The measurement from hole 2D to the center of Gate Bracket (#3) must be
greater than or equal to 22”
Install a Gate Stop:
IMPORTANT: A gate stop MUST be installed to prevent the gate from opening
beyond 90 degrees.
Opening past 90 degrees will cause hyper-compression which will damage the
closer.
Lockey USA manufactures the GS90-MD and GS90-HD, along with the Chainlink
Compatible Gate Stop, XILINX.
Step 4: Install your LockeyUSA TB Gate Closer
Grease Securing Pins (#5) with light silicone grease.
Place “Post End” of your gate closer to Post Bracket (#2).
Secure using a greased Securing Pin (#5) and two Spacers (#6), one spacer on
top and one on bottom of the closer.
Secure with a Washer (#8) and Cap Screw (#7) and tighten (shown to the right).
Next, open the gate slightly to align the hole on the “Gate End” of the gate
closer to Gate Bracket (#3).
Secure using a greased Securing Pin (#5) and two Spacers (#6), followed by a
Washer (#8) and Cap Screw (#7).
Tighten.
With gate closer secured to the gate, slowly open the gate to remove Retaining
Bar (#9).
To adjust speed/force:
Move gate closer to desired mounting hole.
A= Least Closing Force/Fastest Closing Speed
D= Maximum Closing Force/Slowest Closing Speed
