FAQs

Can I use these hinges for gates heavier than 30kg?

No, these are rated for up to 30kg. Using them on heavier gates will lead to structural failure or sagging.

Are screws provided with the hinges?

No, fixings are not included. You will need to purchase suitable wood screws based on the thickness of your gate and post.

How many hinges do I need for a standard gate?

Typically two hinges are sufficient for gates up to 2130mm (7ft) in height. Use three hinges for taller gates to prevent warping.

Are these hinges suitable for coastal areas?

These have a corrosion rating of 2, making them suitable for sheltered rural or damp areas, but they may struggle in direct coastal salt-spray environments.

What is the recommended gate width for these hinges?

They are recommended for gate widths between 600mm and 900mm.

Troubleshooting

Gate is sagging shortly after installation

Ensure all 14 screw holes are utilized and check if the gate weight exceeds the 30kg limit.

Hinge appears to be rusting

Verify the environment is not too harsh for a corrosion rating 2 product; clean the surface and apply a touch-up of exterior-grade black metal paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable epoxy coating resists corrosion
  • Suitable for a wide range of shed and garden gate widths (600mm-900mm)
  • Easy to install with 14 screw holes for maximum stability
  • Provides reliable movement for gates up to 30kg

Cons

  • Fixings/screws are not included in the kit
  • Not recommended for coastal areas with high salt exposure
  • Requires a third hinge for doors exceeding 2130mm in height

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure long-term functionality, verify that your gate frame is level before mounting. Since these hinges do not include hardware, select high-quality, corrosion-resistant wood screws that fit the 14 available holes.

Installation Steps:

  1. Measure the hinge placement on the gate and the post.
  2. Pilot drill the wood to prevent splitting the timber.
  3. Secure the hinge to the gate using all available holes for even weight distribution.
  4. Check the swing movement before finalizing the attachment to the post.

Care: Periodically wipe the hinges with a clean cloth to remove dust or debris. In rural or damp areas, applying a thin coat of clear exterior-grade lubricant to the knuckle can help maintain smooth operation and further protect against rust.
