Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

D&D Technologies is recalling OL.MI-branded SureClose READYFIT 180° hinge-closer sets, specifically models 74108333T and 74108335T, sold between March 2020 and July 2021. These hydraulic gate hardware kits, sold in pairs with dimples on the ends, may malfunction and fail to fully close gates as intended. Consumers should immediately stop using these hinge-closers and contact the manufacturer for a full refund or free replacement.

Risk

The hinge-closers can fail to fully self-close gates, allowing unintended access to swimming pools or other hazardous areas, which poses a serious drowning and injury risk to young children. While no injuries have been reported, the mechanical failure compromises critical safety barriers.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the affected hinge-closers and secure access to any areas (such as pools) where these gates are installed until the hardware is replaced.
  2. Identify your product by checking the end of the hinge-closer body for the brand 'OL.MI' and a date code in MM/YY format (affected units were manufactured between 10/18 and 09/19).
  3. Verify if your set has dimples on the end and matches model numbers 74108333T or 74108335T.
  4. Contact D&D Technologies at 800-716-0888 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email at info@ddtechusa.com, or visit https://us.ddtech.com/pages/safety-notification to receive either a full refund or to schedule a free replacement.
  5. Follow the verbatim remedy instructions: 'Consumers will also receive instructions on how to return recalled hinges to D&D Technologies via mail free of charge.'
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 or visit www.cpsc.gov.
