D&D Technologies TCGS2S Gate Stop, Damage Protection Bumper Reduces Sound from Closing Metal, Wood, and Vinyl Gates, for Any Square Gate, 1 Count

Great addition to our magna latch for our pool fence. Install was easy and does make difference in the sound.

This gate stop attaches pretty easily, is pretty sturdy (not sure how it will take a really strong smash, but normal gate closing works great). This item will keep your gate from closing past the latch. This should help both the hinges and the latch as neither will be stressed past designed operational limits. The unit is made of some sort of ABS plastic and seems quite rugged. It is designed to attach both to the face and the edge of the leading edge of the gate and strikes the post when the gate is closed. The attachment is several screws (included) and should work fine. We will see how well they last in redwood fencing. The plate that strikes the fence post has three rubber-like pads that provide a cushion between the plate and the post when the gate is closed. I've used this on two different gates and they seem to work fine (first gate - several months; second gate - two weeks). Note I have only used this item on single gate closures. I have no idea if it would work for a two gate closure.

Great concept and well made. I had to do a little shaving of the plastic and add a piece of wood where the stopper met the door due to how my gate was set up, but that was expected and the install was straight forward. Now no more uncontrolled slamming of the gait and bending the latch mechanism. The latch closure works perfectly now. Been having to adjust or replace this dang gate latch every so often for 20 yrs...not anymore. YEEHAW!

Bought two for an aluminum double driveway gate. I trimmed part of the side leg off to have only one hole (instead of the two) because it extended beyond my gate frame. That said, it is evenly centered when compared to the metal only gate stop. I have a 1” gape between the double gates. The gate self closes well at a reasonable opened distance (about 1/4 to 1/3 open). Beyond that, I get a bounce and no latch. My impression is that they work relatively well. I am using the LokkLatch Magnetic latch.

Easy install. 3 self tapping screws hold it well. This is the one for metal gates, so mark it with a center punch then drill a pre-hole. Easy 20 minute jobber. Before and after pictures obviously
