TIMCO Cranked Band & Hook on Plates Hinges - 250mm - Grey

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanised finish provides strong corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor and coastal use, though regular cleaning can further extend their lifespan.

Yes, these are specifically designed for timber gates, garages, and outbuildings.

A cranked hinge creates an offset, allowing a gate to hang flush with the face of the post, which provides better clearance and a cleaner aesthetic.

The hinges are supplied as a pair, but it is recommended to purchase high-quality, corrosion-resistant coach screws separately to match your specific mounting surface material.

While these hinges are robust, they are 250mm long and intended for domestic use. For exceptionally large or heavy farm gates, you may need a longer band length.

Check if the mounting plates have pulled away from the post; ensure all mounting screws are tight and that the gate is not exceeding the weight capacity for a 250mm hinge.

Apply a high-quality silicone or lithium-based grease directly to the hook where the band pivots.

Verify that the hook plates are perfectly vertically aligned using a spirit level; slight misalignments will prevent the bands from seating properly.
