FAQs

What type of gate is this hinge set designed for?

This hinge set is specifically designed for 5-bar gates that are 75mm (3 inches) thick.

What material should the gate post be made of?

The hinge set is intended for mounting on timber posts.

Does the set come with all the necessary screws and bolts?

Yes, the hinge set is supplied with all the fixings required for installation.

How does the anti-removal feature work?

The top or bottom pin of the hinge can be installed upside down. This configuration makes it significantly more difficult to lift the gate off the hinges, acting as a security measure.

Will this hinge set rust easily?

The hinge set features a high-quality hot-dipped galvanised coating, which provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.

Can this hinge be used for gates heavier than standard field gates?

While designed for heavy-duty use, it's best suited for gates within the specified thickness (75mm) and standard field gate weight. For exceptionally heavy or large gates, professional advice on suitability may be needed.

What are the dimensions of the hinge set?

The specific product listed is 18 inches (450mm) long. Other sizes, such as 12 inches (300mm) and 24 inches (600mm), are available in different colours.

Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to swing or binds.

Check that the gate and post are plumb and level. Ensure the hinges are correctly aligned and that no dirt or debris is obstructing movement. Verify all bolts are tightened but not overtightened, which could warp the components.

Hinge components appear loose after installation.

Re-tighten all cup square bolts and any other provided fixings. Ensure the timber post is solid and can adequately support the weight and movement of the gate.

Rust is forming on the hinge.

While the hot-dipped galvanised finish is highly resistant to rust, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually lead to minor surface rust. Clean with a wire brush and consider applying a metal-compatible paint for extra protection.

Gate feels too heavy for the hinges.

Ensure the gate is precisely 75mm (3") thick as specified. For unusually heavy gates or posts that show signs of strain, consider consulting a professional for reinforcement or alternative hardware.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable hot-dipped galvanised finish for superior rust resistance.
  • Secure mounting system with top band and cup square bolts.
  • Anti-removal feature enhances security.
  • Includes all required fixings for easy installation.
  • Suitable for a range of gate types and applications.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for 75mm (3") thick gates.
  • Silver finish may show dirt more readily than darker options.
  • Requires timber posts for mounting.
  • Heavy-duty design may be overkill for lighter gates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Identify the gate and post. This hinge set is designed for 75mm (3") thick 5-bar gates and timber posts.
  2. Position the top band around the gate and secure it using the provided cup square bolts. Ensure a snug fit.
  3. Attach the hinge to the timber post, aligning it appropriately for gate clearance and swing.
  4. If desired, mount the top or bottom pin upside down to prevent removal of the gate.
  5. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.

Compatibility:

  • Gate Thickness: Specifically designed for 75mm (3") thick 5-bar field gates.
  • Post Material: Requires mounting on timber posts.
  • Applications: Domestic, agricultural, and equestrian use, including driveway and field gates.

Care:

  • The hot-dipped galvanised coating provides excellent rust resistance. No regular maintenance is typically required.
  • Periodically check that all fixings remain tight, especially after periods of heavy use or extreme weather.
  • If any surface rust appears (rare), it can be cleaned with a wire brush and touch-up paint if desired, though the galvanising should protect the underlying metal.
