The Timco 12-inch Scotch Tee Hinges are an ideal solution for homeowners and professionals looking to hang heavy-duty gates, shed doors, or agricultural enclosures securely. These hinges provide exceptional load-bearing capacity and long-term durability thanks to their hot-dipped galvanised finish, though users must ensure they install a third hinge for doors exceeding 2130mm in height to maintain structural integrity.

These hinges are designed to support a total weight of up to 60kg per set.
Yes, if your gate or door height exceeds 2130mm (7ft), you should install a third hinge to prevent warping.
The hot-dipped galvanised finish offers excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for most outdoor environments, though they should be checked periodically in harsh coastal areas.
Yes, the set includes countersunk screws for a complete and flush installation.
The 12-inch measurement refers to the length of the hinge strap (band) that attaches to the gate.
Verify the weight of the door does not exceed 60kg. If the door height is over 2130mm, install a third hinge.
Apply a high-quality outdoor-rated lubricant to the hinge pin and work the door back and forth.
Check that the timber isn't rotting. If the wood is firm, replace the fasteners with slightly larger diameter screws to regain a tight grip.
For optimal installation, ensure the gate is plumb and level before attaching the hinges. Use the provided countersunk screws to create a flush, clean finish that won't interfere with the swing of the door. If installing onto a masonry post, you may need to swap the provided screws for appropriate wall plugs and heavy-duty masonry fasteners. Periodically check that all screws remain tight, especially during the first few months after installation as timber may settle. If the gate begins to squeak, a light application of silicone-based lubricant to the knuckle of the hinge is recommended to maintain smooth operation.
