The TIMco Light Tee Hinge is an ideal hardware solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure lightweight domestic timber structures such as garden gates, tool sheds, and animal hutches. These hinges offer a durable zinc-plated finish that provides consistent performance in occasionally damp or rural environments, ensuring smooth operation for small-scale projects. While they are highly effective for light-duty tasks, users should note that they are not designed for heavy-duty entry doors or gates exceeding a 5kg weight limit.

These hinges are designed for timber gates measuring between 200mm and 300mm in width.
No, these are light-duty hinges limited to a 5kg weight capacity and are not suitable for heavy entrance doors.
Yes, each pair of hinges includes 3.5 x 25mm countersunk screws.
They feature a zinc finish, which provides protection against moisture, making them suitable for occasionally damp or rural garden environments.
A third hinge is recommended if your gate or door height exceeds 2130mm (7ft) to prevent warping.
The band length is 100mm.
Ensure the hinges are mounted level. If the door height exceeds 2130mm, install a third hinge to provide additional vertical support.
Always pre-drill pilot holes using a drill bit slightly smaller than the 3.5mm shank of the provided screws.
Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a screwdriver or drill. Ensure the gate and frame are level before marking the pilot holes. Because the provided screws are 3.5mm in diameter, pre-drilling small pilot holes is recommended to prevent the timber from splitting.
Compatibility: Best used on softwoods or hardwoods within the recommended 200mm-300mm width range.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the hinges clean periodically to remove grit or debris. If the gate begins to squeak, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant applied to the hinge pin will restore quiet operation.
