We created the Swan Hinge back in 2018 to help solve a recurring problem we were encountering. So many of our customers wanted a double drive gate on the side of their home, but that they had a slope on the side that would interfere with the smooth operation of the upper gate. It would not clear the ground and was restricted in it's operation, or the gate would be so high off the ground that it couldn't secure their pets. We came up with this Swan Hinge system that would lift the gate as it opens, yet is just as easy to install and use as a typical hinge setup.
