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

The Locinox LION-SILV Compact Hydraulic Retrofit Gate Closer provides controlled, self-closing operation for compatible pedestrian gates weighing up to 165 lbs (75 kg). Designed for 90° or 180° gate-opening configurations, the LION-SILV combines a compact, surface-mounted design with hydraulic closing technology, making it an excellent solution for upgrading existing pedestrian gates.

Finished in Silver, the Locinox LION-SILV offers a clean, professional appearance that complements aluminum, steel and ornamental pedestrian gate installations. Its retrofit-friendly design allows installers to add hydraulic self-closing functionality to compatible gates without replacing their existing hinge systems.

Unlike integrated hydraulic hinge and closer assemblies, the Locinox LION functions as a separate hydraulic gate closer. This makes it particularly useful for residential, commercial and access-controlled pedestrian gates where the existing hinges remain suitable and the primary requirement is controlled, automatic closing.

Locinox LION-SILV Hydraulic Retrofit Gate Closer

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

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

The hydraulic mechanism helps return the gate toward its closed position after pedestrian use, providing controlled closing movement.

90° or 180° Gate Opening Configurations

One of the key features of the Locinox LION-SILV 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, surrounding structures and the manufacturer's installation instructions.

This flexibility makes the LION-SILV a practical option for both new pedestrian gate installations and retrofit projects.

Compact Hydraulic Gate Closer for Gates up to 165 lbs

The LION-SILV is designed for compatible pedestrian gates weighing up to 165 lbs, making it suitable for a variety of residential and commercial pedestrian entrances.

Gate weight is an important selection factor, but installers should also verify gate width, construction, hinge condition and mounting requirements before selecting the LION-SILV.

Retrofit Gate Closer for Existing Pedestrian Gates

The Locinox LION is particularly useful for retrofitting existing pedestrian gates.

Many residential and commercial gates already have suitable hinges and locking hardware but lack a self-closing mechanism.

The LION-SILV provides a separate hydraulic closing solution that can be added to compatible gate installations while retaining the existing hinge system.

Potential retrofit applications include:

• Existing residential walk gates

• Commercial pedestrian entrances

• Multifamily access gates

• Apartment and condominium properties

• Gated residential communities

• Office and business entrances

• Security fence gates

• Access-controlled pedestrian gates

• Ornamental metal pedestrian gates

The gate and post must provide suitable mounting conditions for the closer, and the existing hinges must be capable of supporting the gate properly.

Hydraulic Self-Closing Gate Operation

The Locinox LION-SILV uses hydraulic closing technology to provide controlled gate movement as the gate returns toward its closed position.

This makes it different from a spring-only gate hinge or motorized pedestrian gate operator.

Spring Gate Hinge: Uses mechanical spring force to help close the gate.

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

Motorized Gate Operator: Uses powered movement to operate the gate.

The LION-SILV is a hydraulic self-closing gate closer, not a motorized pedestrian gate opener.

For customers looking to add controlled closing to an existing gate, the LION provides a practical alternative to replacing the gate hinges with an integrated hydraulic closer and hinge system.

Silver Finish for Pedestrian Gate Installations

The LION-SILV identifies the Silver finish version of the Locinox LION hydraulic gate closer.

The silver finish provides a clean, professional appearance that can complement aluminum, steel and ornamental pedestrian gate designs.

Customers searching by finish may use terms including:

• Locinox LION Silver

• LION-SILV

• Silver hydraulic gate closer

• Silver pedestrian gate closer

• Silver retrofit gate closer

• Locinox Silver gate closer

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

LION-SILV Silver vs. LION-9005 Black

GatePoint Solutions offers two finish options within the Locinox LION product family.

LION-SILV — Silver finish.

LION-9005 — Black / RAL 9005 finish.

Both models offer the same stated 165 lb maximum gate weight rating and 90°/180° opening configurations.

Internally linking these two products helps customers compare finishes and select the appropriate closer for their gate installation.

Compact Surface-Mounted Gate Closer

One of the primary advantages of the Locinox LION is its compact, retrofit-friendly design.

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

This makes it especially useful when:

• The existing gate hinges are in suitable condition

• A hydraulic self-closing function needs to be added

• A compact external closer is preferred

• The gate meets the specified weight and installation requirements

• A motorized gate operator is unnecessary

Its compact design helps maintain a streamlined appearance while adding hydraulic closing functionality.
