What is a Gate Closer & How Does It Work?

21 September 2026Appears in Product Videos

In this video, Locinox Technical Advisor Franck Fierens breaks down what a gate closer is and why it is a fundamental component of effective perimeter security. Available to order from First Fence, Locinox gate closers ensure your swing gate shuts automatically after every use to maintain secure access at all times.

Key Benefits & Functionality

⚙️ Automatic Mechanical Closure: Mechanically shuts the gate behind you after passing through, guaranteeing full perimeter closure.  

🛡️ Perimeter Protection: Ensures children and pets stay safely inside while preventing unauthorised access to gardens, playgrounds, and residential or commercial properties.  

🔒 Essential Access Control Component: Functions as a core pillar alongside electronic locks and keypads to ensure your security system stays locked.  

The 3 Pillars of Gate Access Control

1. Unlocking Mechanism: Keypads (such as the Locinox SlimStone) or entry readers send an opening signal.  

2. Gate Lock System: Electric strikes (Modulec, Intarlec), electromagnetic locks (B-Mag, S-MAG, MagMag), or electric locks secure the gate leaf.  

3. Gate Closer: Automatically pulls the open gate back into the closed position so the locking mechanism can latch and engage.
