How to Install the Locinox Excentro 180° Gate Hinge
How to Install the Locinox Excentro 180° Hinge on Ascending Slopes
Installing a gate on a sloped driveway or uneven ground can present a challenge, particularly when you need the gate to open fully without the bottom edge scraping against the rising ground. In this video, we demonstrate the installation and operation of the Locinox Excentro 180° Hinge Set for Ascending Slopes, a specialist hinge solution designed specifically for gates installed on inclines.
The Locinox Excentro uses an innovative mechanical design to lift the gate leaf as it opens, creating an upward-inward movement that allows the gate to clear an ascending slope. Designed for gradients from 2% up to 35%, the hinge provides a practical solution where standard gate hinges may not be suitable.
🔧 What this video covers
This installation video demonstrates the key stages involved in fitting and adjusting the Locinox Excentro hinge set, including:
• Positioning and preparing the hinge components
• Installing the hinge onto the gate post
• Fitting and securing the hinge hardware
• Adjusting the hinge mechanism for the required gate position
• Demonstrating the upward movement of the gate as it opens
• Showing how the hinge allows the gate to operate smoothly on an ascending slope
The Excentro provides a 180° opening angle, allowing full access through the gate while helping to maintain a clean and practical installation. Its mechanical lifting action helps prevent the bottom of the gate from catching on sloping ground, reducing the need for excessive clearance beneath the gate.
