An adjustable hinge set (pair) in SS316 is what you use to hang and control a frameless glass pool gate—it’s the counterpart to your spigots.

Here’s a clear breakdown so you can spec or sell it properly 👇

🔧 What It Is

An adjustable hinge set (pair):

• Includes 2 self-closing hinges (top + bottom)

• Designed for frameless glass gates

• Allows alignment + closing force adjustment

• Made from SS316 (marine-grade stainless steel) for corrosion resistance

Most sets are spring-loaded so the gate automatically closes (required by pool safety codes)

🛠️ Key Features

• Material: SS316 (ideal for pools, saltwater, and outdoor use)

• Self-closing mechanism: Internal spring or hydraulic system

• Adjustability:

  • Closing speed/tension (via Allen key)

  • Minor alignment adjustments

• Mount types:

  • Glass-to-glass

  • Glass-to-wall/post

• Glass compatibility:

  • Typically 8mm–12mm tempered glass

📐 Typical Specs

• Opening angle: 90°–180°

• Max gate weight: ~20–40 kg (varies by model)

• Gate width: usually up to ~1000 mm

• Closing type:

  • Spring (most common)

  • Hydraulic (premium, smoother closing)

🧱 Installation Basics

• Always installed as a pair (top + bottom hinge)

• Gate must:

  • Swing away from the pool (code requirement)

  • Be aligned vertically before tensioning

• Adjustment:

  • Use Allen key to increase/decrease closing force

  • Fine-tune so gate self-latches from any open position

👍 Advantages

• Clean frameless look

• Meets pool safety compliance

• Adjustable → easier alignment during install

• Long lifespan (SS316 resists rust even in harsh climates)

⚠️ Things to Watch

• Cheap hinges (SS304) → rust quickly in pool environments

• Poor adjustment → gate won’t self-close properly

• Must match:

  • Glass thickness

  • Mounting type (wall vs glass panel)

💡 Pro Tip (important)

From real installs:

• Set hinges slightly over-tensioned at first, then back off

• Test closing from:

  • Fully open

  • Half open

  • Just 10–15° open (most common failure point)
