The TIMCO 19mm Gate Hooks To Weld are professional-grade mounting points designed for fabricators, agricultural workers, and DIY installers who need a secure, permanent hinge solution for metal or timber gates mounted on steel posts. These heavy-duty hooks provide exceptional structural integrity by allowing for a direct welded connection, though they require proficient welding skills and post-weld surface treatment to prevent rust as they are supplied in a raw, self-coloured finish.

These hooks are specifically designed with a flat plate meant for welding; they do not come pre-drilled for bolts, and welding is the intended method of fixing.
Use a high-quality metal primer (such as red oxide) followed by an exterior-grade oil-based paint or a cold-galvanizing aerosol spray for maximum longevity.
Yes, 19mm is a standard industrial size for heavy-duty gate hinge pins, compatible with most heavy gate eyes available on the market.
No, these are strictly for welding to metal posts. For timber posts, you would typically use a hook-on-plate that is designed for wood screws or coach bolts.
This product listing is for a 2-pack, which is generally enough for one single gate leaf.
Ensure the base metal is ground down to clean, bright steel before welding and that the welding amperage is adjusted for the thickness of the post.
Verify that the hook and the corresponding eye are perfectly aligned vertically; if they are slightly off-axis, the hinge will not swing freely.
Wire brush the affected area to remove loose corrosion and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and exterior-grade metal paint.
Before installation, ensure the steel surface of your post is cleaned of mill scale, grease, and debris. Position the hook at the desired height, ensuring it is perfectly plumb with the opposing gate hardware. Use high-quality welding rods or wire appropriate for your steel thickness to create a continuous, penetration-grade weld around the base plate.
Since the product comes as self-coloured steel, it is susceptible to flash rust. Immediately after the welds have cooled and been cleaned of slag, apply a high-quality metal primer followed by a durable topcoat of outdoor paint or galvanizing spray. Regular inspection of the weld points is recommended, especially in high-wind areas or high-traffic gateways.
