This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for robust hinges for gates, sheds, and garage doors in domestic settings. The primary benefit is the heavy-duty construction and hot-dipped galvanised finish, offering excellent corrosion resistance for moderate salt atmospheres. A key consideration is that doors or gates exceeding 7ft in height may require a third hinge to prevent warping. These 12-inch silver hinges are constructed from carbon steel with a durable finish, designed to support gates up to 40kg.

No, fixings (screws) are not included with this product. You will need to supply your own, with a recommended diameter of 4.0mm.
Each hinge is designed to support a maximum gate weight of 40kg.
Yes, but for doors or gates over 2130mm (7ft) in height, it is recommended to fit a third hinge to prevent warping and ensure stability.
Corrosion Rating 4 indicates suitability for urban and industrial areas with a moderate salt atmosphere, offering good protection against rust in such environments.
These hinges are made from Carbon Steel with a Hot Dipped Galvanised finish.
The band length is 12 inches, which is equivalent to 300mm.
They are rated for moderate salt atmospheres (Rating 4), making them suitable for some coastal proximity, but not for extremely harsh marine environments where higher corrosion resistance might be needed.
Check hinge alignment and ensure all screws are tightened securely. Verify that the gate or door is not warped, which might require an additional hinge.
While the galvanised finish is protective, severe environments may cause minor surface rust. Clean with a soft brush and apply a suitable metal protectant. Ensure fixings are watertight if possible.
This often indicates the gate is too heavy for the number of hinges or exceeds the maximum weight limit. For gates over 7ft, install a third hinge. Ensure all hinges are correctly positioned and secured.
Ensure you are using the correct size screws (recommended 4.0mm diameter) for the pre-drilled holes and that the mounting surface is sound. Use appropriate wall plugs if mounting into masonry.
