The TIMCO Cranked Band and Hook on Plates Hinges (350mm) are designed for homeowners and contractors needing heavy-duty support for gates, stable doors, and outbuildings. Their primary benefit is an offset cranked design that centres the gate within its frame while providing necessary clearance over cladding or posts, though users should note that proper alignment during installation is critical for smooth operation. These hinges offer a durable, weather-resistant solution for high-traffic entryways in exposed outdoor settings.

These hinges are primarily designed for timber gate and door applications, though they can be adapted if you have the appropriate welding or bolting capabilities for metal frames.
The set includes the hinges and plates; users should source their own high-strength, weather-rated screws appropriate for their specific mounting surface.
Yes, but you should wait until the initial protective oils from the galvanising process have weathered or clean the surface with a degreaser before applying a metal-specific primer.
These are rated for high-traffic, heavy-duty use within the 700mm to 1050mm width range; ensure the timber gate itself is sound enough to hold the hinges.
An annual application of a light machine oil or silicone spray is recommended to keep the gate swinging smoothly and prevent moisture build-up inside the hook.
Check that the mounting plates are still tightly fixed to the gate and post; if the timber has rotted around the screws, you may need to relocate the plate or use larger fasteners.
Ensure there is no paint build-up on the hook and apply a small amount of heavy-duty silicone grease to reduce friction during removal.
Verify that you have used the correct orientation of the crank; the offset should be positioned to provide maximum clearance during the swing arc.
To install, ensure your gate is between 700mm and 1050mm wide to match the hinge's load-bearing capacity. Mount the plate securely to the post or frame using appropriate high-strength screws. Because these are hot-dipped galvanised, they are mostly maintenance-free; however, it is recommended to periodically check that the hook is fully seated in the plate and that the screws have not loosened due to seasonal timber movement. Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the hinges, as this may compromise the galvanised coating.
