IRONTITE Heavy Duty Gate Hinges - Black

These are classified as heavy-duty hinges, designed to support substantial weight. However, a specific weight limit is not provided. For very heavy gates, using three hinges or reinforcing mounting points is advisable.

The epoxy black finish offers good durability and weather protection. While resistant to corrosion, prolonged exposure to harsh elements like salt air may eventually affect the finish. Regular cleaning and occasional protective coating can extend their lifespan.

Yes, the epoxy finish can be lightly abraded and then painted with a suitable exterior metal paint. However, for best results and durability, the original finish is recommended.

The gate eyebolts are 100mm long.

Basic DIY tools are sufficient, typically including a screwdriver or drill with appropriate bits for the included screws, a measuring tape, and possibly a level.

While they are designed for outdoor use, they can certainly be used for interior gates or doors where a heavy-duty and robust hinge is desired.

The pin diameter for these hinges is 12mm.

Check that the hinge pins are properly seated and that the hinges are perfectly aligned. Ensure no obstructions are present. Loosen screws slightly, adjust alignment, and retighten.

Although the epoxy finish is durable, prolonged exposure to salt or harsh chemicals can cause minor surface rust. Clean the affected area with a damp cloth and reapply a thin layer of exterior-grade paint or protective coating if necessary.

Ensure you are using the correct size pilot holes for the wood screws. If the wood is soft or pre-drilled holes are too large, consider using larger screws or wood filler to ensure a secure fit.

This may indicate the gate is heavier than anticipated for the hinge capacity or that the mounting points have loosened. Ensure all screws are fully tightened into solid wood or posts. For very heavy gates, consider adding a third hinge or reinforcing the mounting points.
