IRONTITE Cranked Galvanised Gate Hinges Heavy Duty 300mm - Silver

The cranked design allows the gate to sit flush against the post, providing a neat finish and optimal alignment, especially when the gate post and gate are on the same plane.

Yes, they are hot-dipped galvanised, which provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, making them ideal for all outdoor applications.

Basic DIY tools are sufficient. You will need a drill to create the bolt hole and a screwdriver or wrench for the fixings.

While primarily designed for wooden gates, they can be adapted for use on metal gates with appropriate drilling and fastening techniques suitable for metal.

These are heavy-duty hinges designed to support substantial gate weight, making them suitable for heavier wooden gates.

The galvanised finish is durable. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.

The hinges come complete with all necessary screws and bolts required for a standard installation on wooden gates.

Check if the gate is properly aligned. Ensure the hinges are not binding and consider lubricating the hinge pin.

While galvanised, extreme conditions can eventually affect the finish. Clean any rust spots and consider applying a protective coating suitable for galvanised steel.

Ensure all fixings are tight and the gate post is stable. If the gate is very heavy, additional support or a stronger hinge might be needed, or re-check hinge placement for even load distribution.

Ensure you are using the correct type and size of screws/bolts for the gate and post material. For wooden posts, ensure they are sound and not rotten. Pre-drilling pilot holes can help.
