Self Close and Soft Close Serve Two Different Jobs
Self close means the gate always ends up closed, without extra hand force needed. Required on pool gates, safety and security gates, and any entry that needs to stay closed.
- Mechanical (Set A, C): A spring and mechanical speed control close the gate at the speed you set.
- Hydraulic Hybrid (Set B, D): The same mechanical system plus hydraulic damping, so the gate also closes softly and absorbs wind or hard pushes.
Soft close means the gate prevents slams. Wind or a hard push is absorbed, so the gate slows down instead of slamming.
Unlike a basic spring gate hinge, every Waterson self-closing mechanism is built with speed control.
