HySecurity MX3696-04, Bushings, 4 Hinges, Replacement Kit
HySecurity MX3696-04 is the four-hinge bushing replacement kit for select HySecurity WedgeSmart DC wedge barrier systems. Larger WedgeSmart DC lane-width models use more hinge points, and the correct bushing kit depends on that hinge count. Public replacement references identify MX3696-04 as the bushing kit for four hinges, with 12 ft and 14 ft WedgeSmart DC model references. The bushings help keep hinge motion controlled and reduce metal-to-metal wear as the wedge plate cycles up and down. If the wedge plate has excessive play, uneven motion, binding, or hinge noise, the bushings and the rest of the hinge hardware should be inspected. This kit should be ordered only when the operator uses the four-hinge layout and the parts diagram calls for MX3696-04.

Technician Note
HySecurity parts often vary by operator family, production date, voltage, hydraulic layout, arm length, handing, and installed accessory package. Match the original part number and use the operator parts diagram before treating any related number as a direct replacement.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Verify the original part number is MX3696-04 or a supported related reference.
- Confirm the operator model, serial range, production generation, and parts diagram before ordering.
- Inspect the surrounding hardware, wiring, hoses, fittings, or mounting components that may have caused the original failure.
- Do not substitute similar-looking HySecurity parts unless the manufacturer parts list confirms interchange.
- For powered, hydraulic, or moving barrier systems, secure the gate or barrier arm and disconnect power before service.
Professional Advisory
Gate and barrier operator service can involve stored mechanical force, moving arms, hydraulic pressure, and high-voltage circuits. Do not bypass safety devices or force the operator to run with missing protection. Electrical, hydraulic, or unsafe movement problems should be handled by a qualified gate technician.
