Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this hinge suitable for heavy oak doors?

No, this is a medium-duty hinge. Heavy-duty doors require larger, reinforced hinges designed for higher weight capacities.

Does this hinge come with screws?

Always check the specific retail packaging, as fasteners are often sold separately to ensure you use the correct length for your specific gate thickness.

Can I paint these hinges?

While the galvanised finish is designed to resist rust, if you choose to paint them, use a high-quality metal primer first to ensure proper adhesion.

Is the measurement 250mm the total length?

Yes, 250mm refers to the length of the hinge arm measured from the pivot point to the end of the strap.

Can this be used on metal gates?

These hinges are specifically designed for wooden surfaces where the long strap can be securely screwed into the timber.

Troubleshooting

Gate is sagging or not closing flush

Check if the screws have loosened over time. Tighten all fasteners and ensure the gate frame is properly aligned with the post.

Hinge movement feels stiff

Clear any debris or paint buildup from the pivot point and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance due to galvanised coating
  • Ideal size for standard medium-weight residential gates
  • Reliable and smooth pivot action
  • Simple, straightforward installation process

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty or oversized driveway gates
  • Silver finish may not match all aesthetic styles
  • Limited to medium-weight timber applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill, bits, and a screwdriver. Begin by marking the hinge position on the gate frame and the post, ensuring the gate is level before driving in the fasteners. It is recommended to use high-quality, weather-treated wood screws to match the galvanised finish. For maintenance, inspect the hinges annually for any signs of loose screws or debris buildup. If the gate begins to squeak, a light application of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pin will restore smooth performance without attracting excessive dust or dirt.
