Product Information

Full details

These IRONTITE Hook On Plate Gate Hinges are ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a robust and durable solution for wooden or wrought iron garden gates. Their key benefit lies in their heavy-duty, solid welded construction and lift-on, lift-off design for easy gate removal and maintenance, all with a weather-resistant hot-dipped galvanized finish. A minor consideration is the requirement for gate bands or eye bolts for full functionality. Key features include a 12mm pin, surface-mounted brackets, and included hardened wood screws.

FAQs

What materials are these hinges made from?

These hinges are constructed with a solid welded design and feature a hot-dipped galvanized finish for durability and weather resistance.

Do these hinges come with screws?

Yes, the hinges come with matching high-quality hardened wood screws included for installation.

Can I use these hinges on a metal gate?

Yes, they are suitable for use as wrought iron gate hinges as well as for wooden gates.

What is the purpose of the 12mm pin?

The 12mm pin is part of the heavy-duty design, providing a strong pivot point for the gate.

How do I remove the gate using these hinges?

The hinges have a lift-on, lift-off design. You simply lift the gate vertically off the hinge pins to remove it.

What else do I need to install these hinges?

You will need gate bands or gate eye bolts (sold separately) to attach to the gate itself, which will then engage with the hinge pins.

Are these suitable for exterior use?

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanized finish is specifically designed to provide long-lasting weather protection for outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Gate is stiff or difficult to open/close

Ensure hinge pins are clean and free from debris. Check that the gate is hanging level and not binding against the ground or frame. Lubrication with a suitable outdoor lubricant may help.

Hinges are squeaking

Apply a small amount of exterior-grade lubricant to the hinge pin where it meets the bracket. Ensure the gate is properly aligned to prevent undue stress.

Gate sagging

Verify that the correct number and type of hinges were installed according to the gate's weight and size. Ensure all screws are tightened securely into the post and gate. Consider adding an additional hinge if the gate is particularly heavy or long.

Difficulty lifting gate off hinges

Check for any obstructions or rust buildup around the pin. Ensure the gate is perfectly vertical when attempting to lift it off.
