Blooma Steel Tee Hinge - Black

Use wood screws appropriate for the thickness and type of material you are attaching the hinge to. For outdoor applications, consider corrosion-resistant screws like stainless steel or coated deck screws.

Yes, the steel tee design makes them suitable for medium to heavy doors and gates. For extremely heavy applications, consider using multiple hinges and ensuring robust mounting.

The black finish provides a degree of protection and aesthetic appeal. However, like most coatings, it can wear over time with heavy use or exposure to harsh elements. Regular maintenance can help preserve it.

A simple wipe-down with a dry or slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.

While they can be used externally, marine environments are harsh. If used near salt water, frequent inspection and application of a rust inhibitor will be necessary to prevent corrosion.

Specific weight capacity is not provided, but the steel tee design indicates they are built for substantial loads, typically suitable for standard garden gates and shed doors.

Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or silicone spray) to the hinge pin.

Check that all screws are tightened securely and that the hinge is mounted correctly. Ensure the frame and door are not warped.

Clean the rust with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting paint or coating, especially if used outdoors.

Ensure pilot holes are the correct size for the screws. If the wood is soft, consider using wood filler or slightly larger screws.
