Description
Safetech Heavy Duty Adjustable Tension Gate Hinge – MegaKLIK – SHH-135LS
The Safetech MegaKLIK SHH-135LS is a heavy-duty adjustable-tension self-closing gate hinge designed for larger, heavier and high-traffic pedestrian swing gates.
Featuring a reinforced two-leg mounting design, adjustable self-closing tension and horizontal and vertical gate adjustment, the SHH-135LS provides considerably greater capacity than Safetech’s standard TopKLIK hinge range.
Manufactured from glass-fibre reinforced engineered polymer with rust-resistant stainless-steel pins and springs, the MegaKLIK provides a durable, corrosion-resistant hinge solution with a maximum holding capacity of 480kg and self-closing capacity of 85kg under Safetech’s standard test conditions.
💪 Heavy-Duty MegaKLIK Design
The MegaKLIK range is Safetech’s heavy-duty adjustable self-closing hinge system.
It has been developed for demanding gate applications where a standard pedestrian gate hinge may not provide sufficient capacity.
Typical applications include:
- Large pedestrian gates
- Heavy swing gates
- High-traffic access gates
- Commercial pedestrian gates
- School gates
- Playground gates
- Residential access gates
- Metal gates
- Timber gates
🔄 Adjustable Self-Closing Tension
The SHH-135LS incorporates an adjustable spring mechanism that automatically returns the gate towards the closed position.
Unlike fixed-tension hinges, the MegaKLIK allows the installer to fine-tune the closing force after installation.
This allows the closing action to be adjusted according to the gate weight, closing speed and momentum generated as the gate moves.
🔊 KLIK Tension Adjustment System
Safetech’s adjustable tension system provides a simple method of increasing the gate’s self-closing force.
Using the supplied adjustment tool, the hinge tension is increased clockwise one click at a time.
Safetech recommends:
- Adjusting one tension click per hinge at a time
- Checking the gate after each adjustment
- Keeping the tension approximately equal between hinges where possible
- Never exceeding four tension clicks per hinge
This allows the gate’s closing force to be progressively fine-tuned without unnecessarily over-tensioning the hinge system.
⚙️ Four Adjustable Tension Levels
Each MegaKLIK hinge provides up to four tension adjustments.
This allows the closing force to be progressively increased until the gate reliably returns to its closed position.
The gate should be tested after each adjustment to ensure the required closing action has been achieved.
🔑 Simple Adjustment Tool
The MegaKLIK is supplied with the tool required to adjust or release the hinge tension.
To increase tension:
- Insert the supplied adjustment tool
- Turn clockwise
- Increase one click at a time
- Repeat on the second hinge
- Test gate operation
To release the spring tension, the supplied tool can be used to disengage the adjustment mechanism.
This makes future adjustments straightforward without requiring the gate to be removed.
↔️ Horizontal Adjustment
In addition to adjustable self-closing tension, the SHH-135LS provides horizontal gate adjustment.
This allows the gate position to be fine-tuned relative to the hinge post and latch.
Horizontal adjustment can assist with:
- Gate-to-post alignment
- Latch alignment
- Gate gaps
- Installation tolerances
- Minor post alignment variations
This additional adjustment is particularly valuable on larger gates where accurate alignment can otherwise be difficult to achieve.
↕️ Vertical Adjustment
The MegaKLIK also provides vertical adjustment.
This allows the installer to fine-tune the gate height and achieve correct alignment with the latch and surrounding fencing.
The combination of horizontal, vertical and tension adjustment provides considerably more installation flexibility than conventional fixed gate hinges.
🦵 Heavy-Duty Two-Leg Mounting
The SHH-135LS is the two-leg version of the MegaKLIK heavy-duty hinge.
The mounting legs provide additional fixing support and double-face fixing strength against the gate post.
This mounting arrangement is designed to provide a secure attachment for heavier and higher-traffic gate applications.
For applications where mounting legs are not required, Safetech also manufactures the SHH-135S no-leg version.
🆚 SHH-135LS vs SHH-135S
Safetech offers the MegaKLIK in two mounting configurations.
SHH-135LS:
- Heavy-duty design
- Two mounting legs
- Adjustable self-closing tension
- Horizontal adjustment
- Vertical adjustment
- 480kg maximum holding capacity
- 85kg maximum closing capacity
SHH-135S:
- Heavy-duty design
- No mounting legs
- Adjustable self-closing tension
- Horizontal adjustment
- Vertical adjustment
- Heavy-duty MegaKLIK construction
The SHH-135LS should be selected where the additional two-leg mounting arrangement is preferred.
🏗️ 480kg Maximum Holding Capacity
Safetech specifies a maximum holding weight of 480kg for the MegaKLIK under its standard test conditions.
This substantial holding capacity demonstrates the strength of the heavy-duty MegaKLIK hinge system.
Holding capacity refers to the load the hinge pair can support and should not be confused with its self-closing capacity.
Gate dimensions are extremely important when assessing hinge capacity because a wider or taller gate can substantially increase the leverage applied to the hinge system.
🚪 85kg Self-Closing Capacity
Safetech specifies a maximum closing weight of 85kg under its standard test conditions.
For the MegaKLIK SHH-135LS:
- Maximum Holding Weight: 480kg
- Maximum Closing Weight: 85kg
The 85kg closing capacity is the relevant rating where automatic self-closing operation is required.
A gate may therefore be within the hinge’s structural holding capacity while being too heavy for the springs to reliably self-close.
🧱 Glass-Fibre Reinforced Polymer
The MegaKLIK hinge body is manufactured from engineered polymer reinforced with glass fibre.
This reinforcement provides additional strength while retaining the corrosion-resistant advantages of polymer gate hardware.
The material will not rust like conventional unprotected steel gate hinges.
☀️ UV-Stabilised Construction
Safetech uses UV-stabilised polymer in its heavy-duty hinge construction.
This helps protect the hinge against deterioration caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight and makes the MegaKLIK particularly suitable for outdoor gate installations.
🔩 Rust-Resistant Stainless-Steel Components
The reinforced polymer hinge body is combined with rust-resistant stainless-steel pins and springs.
Construction includes:
- Glass-fibre reinforced engineered polymer
- Rust-resistant stainless-steel hinge pins
- Rust-resistant stainless-steel springs
This provides a robust hinge assembly designed for long-term outdoor gate applications.
🌦️ Designed for Extreme Weather
Safetech specifically designs the MegaKLIK range for demanding outdoor environments.
The polymer and stainless-steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and eliminates many of the problems associated with conventional metal gate hinges exposed to weather.
🛢️ No Lubrication Required
The MegaKLIK does not require the routine lubrication normally associated with conventional metal gate hinges.
This reduces ongoing maintenance and avoids the need to regularly apply grease or oil around the hinge assembly.
🚶 Ideal for High-Traffic Gates
Safetech specifically recommends the MegaKLIK for high-traffic gate applications.
Its heavy-duty construction makes it particularly suitable for locations where gates may be opened and closed many times throughout the day.
Typical applications include:
- Schools
- Childcare facilities
- Playgrounds
- Commercial premises
- Residential complexes
- Public access areas
- High-use pedestrian gates
- Large residential pedestrian gates
🔗 Ideal with Self-Latching Gate Hardware
The SHH-135LS can be combined with a compatible self-latching gate latch to create a heavy-duty self-closing gate system.
When the gate is released, the spring-loaded hinges return the gate towards its closed position so the latch can engage.
The adjustable tension allows the closing force to be fine-tuned to provide reliable latching without applying unnecessary spring force.
🏊 Self-Closing Safety Gate Applications
The MegaKLIK adjustable hinge system can be used where reliable self-closing operation is required.
For pool-gate installations, Safetech specifies that the distance between the tops of the hinges must be at least 900mm.
If this spacing cannot be achieved, Safetech requires the supplied safety cone to be fitted to the bottom hinge.
The complete gate, latch and hinge installation must always comply with the applicable regulations for the installation.
🛡️ Hinge Safety Cone
The safety cone is designed to reduce the possibility of the lower hinge being used as a foothold by a child.
For applicable pool-gate installations where the tops of the hinges are positioned less than 900mm apart, Safetech requires the safety cone to be fitted to the bottom hinge.
📐 Heavy-Duty 135mm Hinge
The SHH-135LS uses Safetech’s larger 135mm MegaKLIK hinge body.
The manufacturer’s technical drawing identifies the SHH-135LS as the heavy-duty model with legs and shows an overall hinge height of approximately 135mm.
The larger construction accommodates the heavy-duty hinge and adjustment mechanism required for higher-capacity applications.
🚪 Suitable for Metal & Timber Gates
Safetech specifies the SHH-135LS for compatible metal and timber gate applications.
Typical installations include:
- Aluminium gates
- Steel gates
- Timber gates
- Heavy pedestrian gates
- Commercial access gates
- High-traffic gates
- Residential pedestrian gates
- School and playground gates
The gate structure and supporting post must provide suitable mounting surfaces for the heavy-duty hinge and fixing arrangement.
🔧 Easy Future Adjustment
A major advantage of the MegaKLIK system is that the self-closing tension can be adjusted after installation.
If the gate’s operation changes over time, the closing force can be fine-tuned using the supplied adjustment tool.
Horizontal and vertical adjustment also provide additional flexibility for maintaining correct gate and latch alignment.

⚠️ Please Note
Safetech currently specifies a maximum holding weight of 480kg and a maximum self-closing weight of 85kg for the MegaKLIK range.
These ratings are based on a standard test gate measuring approximately 900mm wide x 1200mm high.
Gate dimensions beyond the standard test size can significantly affect the effective hinge capacity due to the increased leverage applied to the hinge and supporting post.
The 480kg holding capacity should not be confused with the 85kg closing capacity. For a self-closing installation, the gate must remain within the appropriate closing capacity.
When adjusting the self-closing tension, Safetech recommends increasing the tension only one click per hinge at a time and testing the gate after each adjustment.
A maximum of four tension clicks per hinge is permitted.
Where possible, aim for approximately equal tension between the upper and lower hinges.
For pool-gate applications, Safetech specifies a minimum distance of 900mm between the tops of the hinges. If this cannot be achieved, the supplied safety cone must be installed on the bottom hinge.
Safetech specifies that these hinges are designed for non-automated gates. Use for other purposes may affect performance.
The gate and supporting posts must be structurally suitable for the loads imposed by the gate and hinge system.
