Hi, I would like to know if this Amerock Hinge does slow down before closing, or will do it hard) Thanks

There is no soft-close on these hinges. Soft close hinges are typically larger. If you need these hinges and want soft-close, you could look to see if something like this will work. Blumotion Hinge Adapter, Compact w/ Spacer - 10 Pack

sorry I really don`t know because they did not fit and I could not use them.

It closes at a steady (slow) rate but does not slow before closing. Bumpers are provided to attach to the door or door facing to provide a soft quiet close.

It has 2 different holes for the pin at the top that you choose based upon the strength of close required. It does have a pump action close, meaning it will not slam shut from a fully open position. Whether it will close soft enough for your child proof concerns is something probably based upon the weight of your door.

No, the mechanism/hinge is made so that it will always close. I can say that I love these gates. They are a permanent fixture in my house. I got the black which are very stylish and don't stand out like the white ones do.

The hinge sticks out the back 1 1/2". Hinge is slow closing motion, so it's really nicely done.

No, this hinge does not have a soft close, but is durable and should perform well for many years.

Its stiff at first, then it opens and closes smoothly. It does require a little hand strength. Now mine opens and closes smooth and easy.

I have never had a problem closing the door once the unit is hung - however you can't have it too far towards the hinge, or then it won't close. Keep the unit in the middle or towards the opening of the door and you shouldn't experience any problems.

Thanks for asking D.- I feel like the hinge is good and sturdy and yes it remains closed. I feel it will last rolling around in my purse. My husband carries his with him to work in a semi truck...he's had his all summer and it works fine and is still in really good shape. We keep one by the bed fully charged so he can come home, put his headset in it to charge while we sleep. We have been very satisfied with ours. In all I have ordered 3 more for friends...both charger case and headset. All really do like theirs as well and we've had no problems. Anita

It doesn't close, per se. It's like a shock on a car. It compresses, but the more it does, the harder it pushes up. If you install this on a door of a coffin (for lack of a better example), the lid would need to latch shut. Once the latch is released, the shock pushes the door open. If you buy this, don't buy it from AutoTrends. Get it from someone else. ,

I have this model door closer and it closes perfectly - complete closes, quietly and quickly, with a soft close. Ours does not keep the door open, but I do not know if it has the ability to do so.

Everything will slow shut on it except the child portion of the seat. It can slam down. It does have a strong magnet to hold it in place when not in use so that it doesn't slam.

The hinges on the lid are very strong. They stay open with little effort. They are slow and heavy to close. I have not had them come slamming down. Hope this helps.

It's not like the old piston slow closing mechanism that is used on screen doors, etc. If you can get it too work, (and I couldn't get to close my hollow core inside bathroom door), it will not work for what you need.

mine closes slowly ... has good hinges and stays open when top is up ... but we use it in front of our bed and it has fulfilled all our needs

No issue if folded all they way and locked with the hinge. But if folded partially it willClose

It's pretty cool actually, it's a spring loaded hinge so when you lift it up it stays up, then pushing it back down makes it go down slowly so you aren't slamming it shut
