FAQs
Are these hinges suitable for wooden gates?
Yes, they are specifically designed to work with timber gate and post applications.
Can these be used on metal posts?
While intended for wood, they can be used with metal posts if you have the appropriate fasteners, such as bolt-through fixings.
Do I need to buy the hook and the band separately?
The Perry Cranked Hook & Bands are typically supplied as a matching set to ensure smooth operation.
How do I prevent the hinge from rusting?
While the product is built for outdoor use, you can apply a clear coat of rust-inhibiting paint or regular maintenance spray to prolong its life.
Can I use these for indoor doors?
They are designed for external gate use and may be considered overkill for standard internal household doors.
Troubleshooting
The gate is sagging or dropping at the free end.
Check that the hook and band are securely fastened and that the mounting post has not begun to lean or rot.
The hinge makes a squeaking noise during operation.
Apply a high-quality outdoor-rated lubricant to the hinge pin and pivot point.
The gate does not sit flush against the post.
Verify that the cranked portion of the hinge is not obstructed and that the mounting surface is completely flat.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these hinges, first determine the desired height of the gate and mark your pilot holes. Use a spirit level to ensure the hook and band are perfectly aligned vertically, as even minor deviations can cause the gate to swing open or closed on its own. Ensure you use heavy-duty wood screws or coach bolts compatible with the thickness of your gate and post.
To maintain optimal performance, periodically inspect the hinge pin for signs of wear. Applying a silicone-based lubricant to the hook and band joint once or twice a year will prevent squeaking and ensure smooth operation. Keep the area around the hinge free of debris to prevent unnecessary friction.
