FAQs
Is this hinge set suitable for metal posts?
No, this specific kit is designed for use on timber posts.
Can I use this for a pedestrian gate?
While intended for field or driveway gates, it can be used on smaller gates provided the dimensions of the strap fit the gate frame.
How do I prevent someone from lifting the gate off?
Depending on weight distribution, you can mount the pins in an opposing orientation to prevent upward lifting.
What is the finish of the hinge set?
The set features a hot-dipped galvanised finish for high durability against the elements.
Does it include all the bolts needed?
Yes, the kit includes the necessary carriage bolts, nuts, and washers.
Troubleshooting
Gate appears misaligned after mounting
Utilize the adjustable bottom fitting to clamp or loosen the heel positioning until the gate sits level.
Hardware feels loose in the timber
Check that the cup square bolts are fully tightened and verify the timber has not rotted or splintered around the connection points.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simplifies alignment of heavy field and driveway gates
- High corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use

- Adjustable bottom fitting is excellent for pairing dual gates
Cons
- Limited to timber post applications

- Installation can be heavy due to galvanised steel material
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This hinge set is designed exclusively for mounting onto timber posts. Ensure your timber is of sufficient thickness to accommodate the carriage bolts provided.
- Secure the 450mm strap to the gate frame using the provided cup square bolts.
- Mount the hooks onto the timber post using the hook-to-drive and hook-to-bolt options as required by your post orientation.
- Hang the gate, then adjust the bottom fitting to level the gate closure.
To maintain the galvanised finish, periodically inspect the bolts for tightness after the first month of use, as timber may shrink or expand, potentially loosening the hardware.
