The EAI Heavy Reversible Gate Hinges in Grey are designed for individuals and professionals needing robust and weather-resistant hardware for hanging heavy gates and doors flush with frames or posts. Their primary benefit is the durable construction and hot-dip galvanized finish, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance in diverse environments from domestic settings to agricultural use. A minor consideration is their specific size recommendation, requiring users to confirm suitability for their gate dimensions.

The pack includes 1 x 300mm / 12 Inch Pair of Heavy Reversible Gate Hinges with Fixings, and the total weight is 1920.0 grams.
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.
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.
Yes, the pack includes the necessary fixings for installation.
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.
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.
Yes, the hot-dip galvanized finish makes them tough against all weather and rust, even near the coast.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
