The Timco Scotch Tee Hinges are an ideal solution for homeowners and tradespeople looking to reinforce garden gates, sheds, or store doors with a reliable, traditional strap-and-butt design. These hinges provide excellent load distribution to prevent sagging in smaller joinery projects, though they are specifically limited to gate widths of 200mm to 300mm and a 10kg weight capacity. Featuring a robust hot-dipped galvanised finish, they offer superior corrosion resistance, making them a long-lasting choice for outdoor environments.

These hinges are designed for a maximum weight capacity of 10kg per pair.
While the hot-dipped galvanised finish is highly resistant to corrosion, frequent exposure to direct salt spray may reduce the lifespan of the finish. Regular cleaning can help maintain its condition.
No, each pair of Timco Scotch Tee Hinges includes the necessary countersunk screws for installation.
No, these are specifically designed for gate widths between 200mm and 300mm. Using them on wider gates may cause excessive strain and lead to structural failure.
The hinges are made of steel with a hot-dipped galvanised finish for rust protection.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or machine oil to the pivot point of the hinge.
Ensure you are using an appropriately sized pilot drill bit before driving the screws into the timber.
Verify that the total weight of the gate is under the 10kg threshold and that the hinge is securely mounted into structural timber rather than thin trim.
Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill with a pilot bit and a screwdriver.
For maintenance, periodically inspect the screws for tightness after the first month of use, as timber can settle. While the hot-dipped galvanised finish is highly weather-resistant, applying a light machine oil to the hinge pivot pin annually will ensure smooth, noise-free operation.
