TIMco Strong Tee Hinges - Silver - STH18G

The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity, but they are designed for 'heavy-duty' applications, suggesting suitability for substantial gates and doors. Always ensure the mounting surface can adequately support the load.

Yes, the galvanised finish provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for demanding outdoor applications.

The pack includes all necessary fixings, but the specific size and type of screws are not detailed in the provided information. Ensure they are appropriate for your door/gate material.

While it's possible to paint galvanised metal, it's recommended to use specific primers designed for galvanised surfaces to ensure proper adhesion and finish. However, the galvanised finish itself offers excellent protection.

A third hinge is recommended for doors and gates exceeding 2130mm (7ft) in height to provide additional support, prevent warping, and maintain structural integrity.

The hinges have a galvanised finish, indicating they are made of metal, likely steel, coated for protection.

Check for obstructions around the hinge area. Ensure the door or gate is properly aligned and not putting undue stress on the hinge. A light application of lubricant may help if the issue persists.

Apply a suitable lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or a silicone-based spray) to the pivot point of the hinge.

Verify if the correct number of hinges is installed. For doors/gates over 2130mm (7ft), a third hinge is required. Ensure all fixings are tight and that the mounting surfaces are secure.

Minor surface rust can sometimes occur on galvanised coatings. Clean the area with a soft brush and consider applying a clear sealant for added protection. For significant rust, evaluate the hinge's suitability for the environment or consider replacement.
