The Timco 10-inch Light Tee Hinges are an ideal solution for DIYers and woodworkers looking for reliable hardware for lightweight, low-use applications such as garden gates, shed doors, animal hutches, and decorative cupboard doors. These hinges utilize a traditional strap design to distribute weight effectively across the door face, ensuring smooth operation; however, users should note that these are strictly for light-duty tasks, supporting a maximum gate weight of only 10kg.

No, fixings are not provided. You will need to select screws that are appropriate for your specific mounting surface.
No, these are rated for light-duty applications with a maximum weight capacity of 10kg.
They are bright zinc plated for corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments, but they are not designed for full exposure to harsh weather.
For doors or gates exceeding 2130mm in height, a third hinge is recommended to prevent warping.
They are designed for gates ranging between 500mm and 750mm in width.
Check if the gate exceeds the 10kg weight limit or if the height is over 2130mm, which would require an additional third hinge.
Ensure you have pre-drilled appropriately sized pilot holes before driving in your mounting screws.
Verify that the hinges are perfectly aligned vertically and that the mounting screws are not overtightened against the leaf.
For a successful installation, first ensure your substrate is suitable for the screw type you select, as fixings are not included. Always pre-drill pilot holes into the timber to prevent the wood from splitting when fastening the hinges. Use high-quality screws appropriate for the material the hinge is being attached to. Because these hinges feature a zinc plating, they are intended for sheltered environments; if installed outdoors, ensure they are protected from direct, prolonged exposure to heavy rain to maintain their finish. Wipe down occasionally with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
