About Sta-klos Gate Closer Self Closing for Outdoor Gate
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
72% liked the adjustable tension, but 28% found it limited
The strap can pivot/move in and out in the clamp sockets, making it ideal to use with gates that have adjustable hinges.
I am trying to adjust the gate to make it swing shut with more force.
67% liked the sleek and modern design, but 33% found it unsightly
The closer has fine nickel plating and appears to be corrosion resistant. It looks like something that would be put inside, not outside.

75% found it easy to install, while 25% encountered difficulties
I found it easy to mount the clamshell, two piece clamps without needing a mallet to drive a C-clamp onto the post.
I found the installation of the gate-hinges easy, especially with the clamshell, two piece clamps that mount without needing a mallet to drive a C-clamp onto the post.
I had to move the bottom piece higher and higher because it was not shutting the gate or it would begin to shut and stop. Photos of the assembly installed were also included.
71% appreciated the noise-reducing design, though 29% still experienced creaking
The pressure against the latch is pretty light, and an animal for example could push past it. This indicates that the noise reduction of the gate-hinges is not up to the mark.
The torsion strap clicks as it changes its set in the rather loose fitting clamps, indicating that there is some noise produced by the gate-hinges.
