Locinox CARACAL-SD-K 180° Hydraulic Self-Closing Gate Closer & Hinge with Self-Drilling Screws for Square Profiles

The Locinox CARACAL-SD-K Hydraulic 180° Gate Closer & Hinge combines hydraulic self-closing functionality and gate hinge hardware into one integrated solution for compatible pedestrian gates with square profiles. Designed for installation using self-drilling screws, the CARACAL-SD-K provides a practical mounting configuration for gate installers working with compatible square-profile gate frames and posts.

Featuring a 180° opening range, the Locinox CARACAL-SD-K is designed to provide controlled hydraulic closing while supporting the gate through its integrated hinge configuration. Its combined design offers an alternative to installing separate gate hinges and an externally mounted hydraulic closer.

The Locinox CARACAL family is particularly relevant for residential, commercial and access-controlled pedestrian gates where self-closing operation, professional hardware and straightforward installation are important considerations.

Locinox CARACAL-SD-K Hydraulic Gate Closer & Hinge

The Locinox CARACAL-SD-K provides an integrated solution for pedestrian gates requiring hydraulic self-closing operation.

Rather than using separate gate hinges and a standalone hydraulic closer, the CARACAL combines both functions into one gate hardware system.

Hydraulic Gate Closer + Gate Hinge = Integrated Self-Closing Gate Solution

This makes the CARACAL-SD-K especially relevant for gate fabricators, fence contractors and access-control installers working with square-profile pedestrian gates.

Customers searching for this product may use terms including:

• Locinox CARACAL-SD-K

• Locinox CARACAL gate closer

• Locinox hydraulic gate hinge

• Hydraulic gate closer for square profiles

• Self-closing gate hinge

• 180-degree gate closer

• Pedestrian gate closer

• Self-drilling gate hinge

• Hydraulic gate closer and hinge

• Square-profile gate closer

180° Hydraulic Self-Closing Gate Hinge

The 180° opening range is a key feature of the Locinox CARACAL-SD-K.

Designed for compatible pedestrian gates requiring wide opening movement, the CARACAL combines hydraulic closing technology with integrated hinge functionality.

The hydraulic mechanism helps return the gate toward its closed position after pedestrian use, providing controlled self-closing operation without requiring a separate externally mounted closer.

This makes the CARACAL-SD-K an attractive option for installations where gate closing performance and a streamlined hardware arrangement are important.

Actual gate opening clearance depends on the installation geometry, surrounding structures and mounting configuration.

Self-Drilling Screw Mounting for Square Profiles

One of the defining features of the CARACAL-SD-K is its mounting configuration.

The product is designed for installation using self-drilling screws on compatible square profiles, providing a practical attachment method for suitable pedestrian gate frames and posts.

Key mounting characteristics include:

• Designed for compatible square-profile gate construction

• Self-drilling screw mounting configuration

• Integrated hydraulic closer and hinge assembly

• Suitable for appropriately constructed pedestrian gate installations

• Intended for professional gate hardware installation

The self-drilling mounting design can help simplify installation compared with configurations requiring other attachment methods, provided the gate and post profiles meet the manufacturer's requirements.

Installers should verify profile dimensions, material thickness and mounting compatibility before ordering.

Integrated Hydraulic Gate Closer & Hinge

The Locinox CARACAL combines two essential pedestrian gate functions into one assembly.

Traditional self-closing gate installations may require:

Separate Gate Hinges + External Hydraulic Gate Closer

The CARACAL-SD-K provides:

Integrated Gate Hinge + Hydraulic Gate Closer

This approach helps reduce the need for additional exposed closing hardware and provides a coordinated hinge and closer configuration.

For gate contractors, the integrated design offers a convenient solution when specifying self-closing hardware for compatible square-profile pedestrian gates.

Designed for Square-Profile Pedestrian Gates

The Locinox CARACAL-SD-K is intended for compatible square-profile gate applications.

Square-profile construction is commonly used in fabricated metal pedestrian gates, including many steel and aluminum gate designs.

Potential applications include:

• Residential pedestrian gates

• Commercial walk gates

• Ornamental metal gates

• Square-tube pedestrian gates

• Multifamily communities

• Gated residential properties

• Office and business entrances

• Security gates

• Access-controlled pedestrian entrances

• Fence and gate installations

Compatibility depends on the specific gate and post construction, including the profile dimensions and mounting conditions.

Hydraulic Self-Closing Pedestrian Gate Applications

Self-closing hardware is an important consideration for pedestrian gates where the gate is intended to return to its closed position after use.

The CARACAL-SD-K provides hydraulic closing functionality through an integrated hinge-based design.

This makes it relevant for installations where customers want to avoid using a conventional externally mounted gate closer.

Common product searches include hydraulic pedestrian gate closer, automatic closing gate hinge, self-closing metal gate hinge, and 180° hydraulic gate closer.

The CARACAL-SD-K is a hydraulic self-closing product, not a motorized gate operator. Applications requiring powered opening should be evaluated separately.

Locinox CARACAL vs. TIGER vs. MAMMOTH

GatePoint Solutions offers several Locinox hydraulic gate closer and hinge solutions for different pedestrian gate requirements.

The CARACAL-SD-K is distinguished by its self-drilling screw mounting configuration for square profiles.

Customers should select their gate closer based on mounting requirements, gate dimensions, weight and the manufacturer's specifications.

Professional Pedestrian Gate Hardware Installation

The Locinox CARACAL-SD-K is intended for installation on compatible gate structures.

Before ordering, installers should verify:

• Gate and post profile shape

• Square-profile dimensions

• Gate and post material thickness

• Gate weight and width

• Mounting requirements

• Available opening clearance

• Hardware configuration

• Manufacturer installation instructions

Because the CARACAL-SD-K is a hydraulic closer and hinge assembly, proper installation is important for both gate support and closing performance.

Locinox Gate Hardware & Access Control

The Locinox CARACAL-SD-K can be incorporated into compatible pedestrian gate installations using additional gate hardware and access-control equipment.

Related products may include:

• Mechanical gate locks

• Electric gate locks

• Keypads

• Card and proximity readers

• Video intercom systems

• Telephone entry systems

• Access control panels

• Gate stops

• Pedestrian gate hardware

• Gate mounting accessories

For GatePoint Solutions, the CARACAL-SD-K creates useful internal-linking opportunities across the Gate Hardware, Hinges, Access Controls, Keypads, Video Intercom Systems, and related pedestrian gate collections.
