Timco Strong Tee Hinges - Gold - STH16GB

No, fixings (screws) are not included with this product and must be purchased separately. Please use screws with a recommended diameter of 5.0mm.

Each hinge is designed to support a maximum gate weight of 60kg.

'Corrosion Rating 4' indicates suitability for urban and industrial areas with a moderate salt atmosphere. This provides good protection against rust in such environments.

Yes, but it is strongly recommended to fit a third hinge on doors or gates over 2130mm (7ft) in height to prevent warping and ensure stability.

The STH16GB hinge has a hot-dipped galvanised finish, which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

These hinges are recommended for gates with a width between 800mm and 1200mm.

Clean the hinges with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check screw tightness. No regular lubrication is usually needed due to the durable finish.

Ensure the gate is properly aligned and not sagging. Check that all screws are tight. Verify that the gate does not exceed the 60kg weight limit. If the issue persists, confirm that no debris is obstructing the hinge.

While designed for corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure in extreme environments can still cause surface rust. Clean the affected area with a soft brush and apply a light coat of suitable metal polish or protective wax. For significant corrosion, consider replacement if functionality is impaired.

Ensure you are using the recommended screw size (5.0mm diameter, 10 gauge). Verify that the mounting surface (wood or metal) is solid and not rotten or excessively worn. Use pilot holes appropriate for the screw size and material.

If the gate height exceeds 2130mm (7ft), an additional hinge should be installed. Check that the existing hinges are securely fastened and that the gate's weight does not exceed the 60kg limit.
