Designed for homeowners, builders, and DIY enthusiasts, these 18-inch (450mm) T-hinges from SecureFix Direct are ideal for heavy-duty outdoor installations like shed doors, garden gates, and barn doors. Their primary strength lies in their robust construction and galvanised coating, which provides excellent resistance to rust and weathering; however, potential users should note that mounting hardware is not included in the package, requiring a separate purchase of compatible screws or bolts.

These hinges are sold as a complete pair.
