The Timco Double Strap Gate Hinge Set (600mm) is a robust mounting solution specifically designed for homeowners, farmers, and contractors who need to hang large, heavy-duty entrance or field gates. By utilizing a double-strap design combined with a hook-on-plate system, it provides exceptional weight distribution and long-term structural stability on timber, concrete, or masonry posts. While its hot-dipped galvanised finish offers superior weather protection, users should ensure they have the appropriate mounting hardware for their specific post material to achieve maximum security.

Yes, but you must ensure you have the correct high-tensile steel bolts and pre-drill the metal to accommodate the fixing plate holes.
It refers to the process of coating the steel in molten zinc, which provides a much thicker, more durable barrier against rust than standard electro-galvanising.
While it can be used for garden gates, the 600mm size is typically designed for heavy field or driveway gates; consider the 300mm version for smaller gate applications.
The set includes the straps and hook-on-plates, but you should source high-quality fixings appropriate for your specific post material, such as coach bolts for timber or sleeve anchors for masonry.
Mount the top hinge pin facing down and the bottom hinge pin facing up. This prevents the gate from being lifted off the hook plates.
Ensure the hinges are bolted through the gate frame rather than just screwed into the surface to prevent bolt pull-out.
Check that the hook-on-plates are perfectly level and that the mounting bolts are tightened to the maximum capacity of your post material.
To install, mark the hinge positions on the gate frame and ensure the post is plumb before securing the hook-on-plates. For masonry or concrete, use appropriate heavy-duty masonry anchors rather than standard wood screws.

Maintenance:
While the hot-dipped galvanisation is extremely durable, periodic inspection is recommended. Check for any signs of surface rust after severe weather events or impact damage. If the gate begins to stiffen, apply a light coat of exterior-grade lubricant to the hook-and-pin contact point to maintain smooth operation.
