FAQs

What is the weight of one pair of these hinges?

The pack includes 1 x 300mm / 12 Inch Pair of Heavy Reversible Gate Hinges with Fixings, and the total weight is 1920.0 grams.

Can these hinges be used for interior doors?

Yes, while designed for heavy-duty use in outdoor environments, they are also suitable for heavy interior doors, such as those found in workshops or garages.

How do I determine if the 300mm size is correct for my gate?

These 300mm / 12 Inch hinges are recommended for doors and gates between 600mm and 900mm in width. For gates outside this range, different sizes may be more appropriate.

Are the fixings included with the hinges?

Yes, the pack includes the necessary fixings for installation.

Will the hot-dip galvanized finish wear off?

The hot-dip galvanized finish is very durable and designed for long-term protection against corrosion and weather. With proper care, it should last for many years.

Can I paint these hinges?

While the galvanized finish provides protection, it can be painted if desired for aesthetic reasons. Ensure the surface is clean and use a primer suitable for galvanized metal before applying paint.

Are these hinges suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, the hot-dip galvanized finish makes them tough against all weather and rust, even near the coast.

Troubleshooting

Gate does not hang straight

Check that both hinges are securely fastened and that the gate itself is not warped. Ensure the mounting surfaces on the gate and post are plumb and level.

Hinge is stiff or difficult to move

Verify that no debris is obstructing the hinge's movement. Clean the hinge thoroughly. If necessary, apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the pivot point.

Rust appears on the hinge surface

While the hot-dip galvanized finish is highly resistant, prolonged exposure in highly corrosive environments might lead to minor surface rust. Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and water. A light application of a rust inhibitor suitable for galvanized surfaces can be used if issues persist.

Fixings do not seem secure

Ensure you are using the correct type and size of screws or bolts for your gate and post material. Pre-drilling pilot holes can help, especially in hardwood. Do not overtighten, which can strip the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable carbon steel construction for long-term use.
  • Hot-dip galvanized finish offers excellent rust and weather resistance.
  • Reversible design provides installation flexibility.
  • Suitable for a wide range of environments (domestic, commercial, agricultural).
  • Designed for heavy doors and gates requiring significant support.

Cons

  • Specific size recommendation means they may not fit all gate sizes.
  • Heavier weight (1920g) might be a consideration for some installations.
  • Primarily designed for flush mounting, limiting other aesthetic options.
  • Only one color family (Grey) is available in this specific model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the gate and post are aligned for flush mounting. Use appropriate fixings (included) to securely attach the hinges to both the gate and the frame or post. Refer to the provided images for precise dimension and placement guidance. Due to their heavy-duty nature, ensure the mounting surface can adequately support the weight.

Compatibility: These hinges are designed for heavy wooden doors and gates. They are recommended for gates between 600mm and 900mm in width. Verify that your gate and post can accommodate the 300mm / 12 Inch hinge size and its weight capacity.

Care: The hot-dip galvanized finish offers excellent corrosion resistance. To maintain their appearance and function, occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. For extremely harsh environments, a light application of grease on the pivot point may prolong smooth operation, but this is generally not required due to the robust finish.
