Locinox LION-9005 Compact 90°/180° Hydraulic Retrofit Gate Closer for Gates up to 165 lbs

The Locinox LION-9005 Compact Hydraulic Retrofit Gate Closer is designed to provide controlled, self-closing operation for compatible pedestrian gates weighing up to 165 lbs (75 kg). Featuring a compact, surface-mounted design and compatibility with 90° or 180° gate-opening configurations, the LION-9005 offers a practical solution for upgrading existing pedestrian gates with hydraulic closing functionality.

Finished in Black (RAL 9005), the Locinox LION combines a streamlined appearance with the convenience of a retrofit-friendly installation. Unlike integrated hydraulic hinge and closer systems that require a specific hinge configuration, the Locinox LION is a separate gate-closing device designed to work with compatible existing gate hardware.

Ideal for residential walk gates, commercial pedestrian entrances, multifamily properties and access-controlled gates, the LION-9005 provides a compact hydraulic closing solution for applications where automatic gate return is desired without installing a motorized operator.

Locinox LION-9005 Hydraulic Retrofit Gate Closer

The Locinox LION-9005 is designed for pedestrian gate applications where a separate hydraulic gate closer is preferred over an integrated closer and hinge assembly.

Its retrofit-oriented design makes it particularly relevant for existing gates that need self-closing functionality without replacing the entire hinge system.

The LION provides a hydraulic closing mechanism that helps return the gate toward its closed position after pedestrian use.

90° or 180° Gate Closing Applications

One of the key features of the Locinox LION-9005 is its suitability for 90° or 180° gate-opening configurations, depending on the installation.

This provides flexibility for pedestrian gates with different opening requirements.

90° Gate Configuration

Suitable for compatible pedestrian gates designed to operate within a 90-degree opening arrangement.

180° Gate Configuration

Suitable for compatible pedestrian gates requiring a wider opening arrangement of up to 180 degrees.

The actual available opening angle depends on gate construction, mounting geometry and the manufacturer's installation requirements.

This flexibility makes the LION a useful option for both new and existing pedestrian gate installations.

Compact Hydraulic Gate Closer for Gates up to 165 lbs

The LION-9005 is designed for compatible gates weighing up to 165 lbs, making it suitable for many pedestrian gate applications within the manufacturer's specified limits.

Gate weight is only one factor in selecting the correct closer. Gate width, construction, hinge condition and mounting requirements must also be considered.

Retrofit Gate Closer for Existing Pedestrian Gates

The Locinox LION is particularly useful for retrofit applications.

An existing pedestrian gate may already have suitable hinges and locking hardware but lack a self-closing mechanism.

The LION provides a separate hydraulic closing solution that can be added to compatible gate installations without requiring replacement of the existing hinge system.

Potential retrofit applications include:

• Existing residential walk gates

• Commercial pedestrian entrances

• Multifamily access gates

• Gated community pedestrian entrances

• Office and business properties

• Security fence gates

• Access-controlled walk gates

• Ornamental metal pedestrian gates

The gate and post construction must provide suitable mounting conditions for the closer.

Hydraulic Self-Closing Pedestrian Gate Operation

The Locinox LION-9005 uses hydraulic technology to provide controlled gate-closing movement.

Unlike a spring-only hinge, which uses mechanical spring force to help return a gate toward its closed position, a hydraulic gate closer provides a controlled closing mechanism.

This distinction is important for customers comparing different pedestrian gate hardware solutions.

Spring Gate Hinge: Provides spring-assisted closing.

Hydraulic Gate Closer: Provides controlled hydraulic self-closing operation.

Motorized Gate Operator: Provides powered gate movement.

The LION-9005 is a hydraulic gate closer, not a motorized pedestrian gate opener.

Black RAL 9005 Finish

The LION-9005 identifies the Black RAL 9005 version of the Locinox LION.

The black finish complements many ornamental steel, aluminum and commercial pedestrian gate installations.

Customers searching by finish may use terms including:

• Locinox LION Black

• LION-9005

• Black hydraulic gate closer

• RAL 9005 gate closer

• Black pedestrian gate closer

• Black retrofit gate closer

Keeping the exact LION-9005 model number and Black finish prominent helps customers identify the correct configuration.

Compact Surface-Mounted Gate Closer

One of the main advantages of the Locinox LION is its compact retrofit-oriented design.

Unlike concealed gate closers that must be integrated into the gate structure or hydraulic closer and hinge combinations that replace part of the hinge arrangement, the LION is designed as a separate closing device.

This makes it a practical option when the existing gate hinges are suitable and the installation primarily requires hydraulic self-closing functionality.

The compact design also helps minimize the visual impact of additional gate hardware compared with bulkier conventional closing arrangements.

Locinox LION vs. TIGER vs. CARACAL

GatePoint Solutions offers several Locinox hydraulic closing solutions designed for different pedestrian gate requirements.

Locinox LION — Designed for compatible pedestrian gates requiring a separate hydraulic retrofit closer.
