Product Information
Full details
The Perry Weighty Scotch Tee Hinges (No.119) are designed for users needing robust, heavy-duty hardware for outdoor structures like garden gates or shed doors. Their key benefit is providing reliable support and long-lasting durability due to a strong galvanised construction. A potential caveat is their size and weight, which may be overkill for lighter applications. These hinges offer exceptional resistance to weather and rust, ensuring smooth operation even under heavy loads.

FAQs
What size screws should I use?
The required screw size depends on the material and the weight of the gate/door. Generally, use robust, exterior-grade screws (e.g., stainless steel or coated deck screws) of an appropriate length to ensure a secure fixing without penetrating too far.
Are these hinges suitable for internal doors?
While they would function, these hinges are specifically designed and built for heavy-duty outdoor use. For internal doors, lighter-duty hinges are usually more appropriate.
How do I clean the galvanised finish?
You can clean the hinges with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or wire brushes, as these can damage the protective galvanised coating.
What is the weight capacity of these hinges?
The product information does not specify a precise weight capacity, but they are engineered for 'heavy domestic gates' and 'heavy loads', indicating a substantial load-bearing capability.
Do these hinges come with mounting hardware?
No, the Perry Weighty Scotch Tee Hinges are supplied as a pair of hinges only. Mounting screws or bolts are not included and must be purchased separately.
Can these hinges be painted?
Yes, you can paint the hinges. It is recommended to use a primer suitable for metal and then apply an exterior-grade paint. However, ensure the galvanised coating is intact before painting for optimal adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Hinge squeaking or stiff operation
Apply a small amount of outdoor-rated lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or graphite-based lubricant) to the hinge pin and pivot points. Ensure excess lubricant is wiped away.
Gate or door sagging
Verify that all screws/bolts are tightened securely. Ensure the frame is structurally sound and that the hinges are correctly positioned and adequately sized for the load. Consider adding a third hinge if the load is extreme.
Visible rust spots
Minor surface rust can often be removed with a wire brush. Clean the affected area and apply a coat of galvanised repair paint to protect the metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired placement for the hinges on the gate/door and the frame.
- Mark the screw hole positions.
- Pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, especially in hardwood.
- Secure the hinges using appropriate screws or bolts (not included). Ensure they are rated for outdoor use and suitable for the material being attached to.

Compatibility:

Care:
The galvanised finish provides excellent inherent protection. However, for maximum longevity:

- If minor scratches occur, consider a touch-up with a suitable galvanised paint or sealant to prevent rust.
- Ensure the hinges remain free of debris that could impede movement.
