Cranked Band & Hook on Plates Hinges - TIMCO - 500mm - HBC500G

These hinges are primarily designed for timber-framed gates and structures using coach bolts.

They are supplied as a pair of bands and plates; you will need to purchase appropriate bolts or fasteners based on the thickness of your gate and post material.

The cranked offset allows the gate to sit flush within the frame, which improves aesthetic appeal and provides better clearance over protruding posts or cladding.

You can mount the top pin pointing down and the bottom pin pointing up; this creates a locked hinge setup that prevents the gate from being lifted.

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanised finish provides deep, long-lasting corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor and agricultural use.

While there is no specific weight limit provided, these are intended for heavy-duty applications; ensure your timber gate is structurally sound enough to hold the hinges.

Check the mounting plates for alignment. Use a level on the gate frame to ensure the post isn't leaning, and re-tighten the mounting bolts.

Check if one of the pins was installed upside down as an anti-theft measure. If both are pointing the same direction, ensure the hinge is not painted or obstructed.

If the gate height is over 2130mm, ensure a third, middle hinge is installed to distribute the weight load.
