FAQs

What material are these hinges made of?

These hinges are made from galvanised steel, which offers good resistance to rust and corrosion.

Are these hinges suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the galvanised steel construction makes them ideal for both internal and external applications, including garden gates and shed doors.

What is the overall length of each hinge?

Each hinge has a length of 381mm.

Does the pack include screws?

No, screws are not included with the hinges. You will need to select appropriate screws for your specific mounting surface and the weight of the door or gate.

Can these hinges be used on metal gates?

While primarily designed for wood, they can be used on metal gates if appropriate self-tapping screws or bolts and nuts are used for secure attachment to the metal frame.

How much weight can these hinges support?

The weight capacity depends heavily on the mounting surface and installation. The tee design provides strong support, but it's essential to ensure the frame and door are robust and that sufficient screws are used.

How do I clean the hinges?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the galvanised finish.

Troubleshooting

Hinge is stiff or squeaky

Apply a light oil or silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pin and work the hinge back and forth. Ensure no debris is obstructing the movement.

Door/gate is not hanging straight

Check if all screws are fully tightened. Loosen screws slightly, adjust hinge alignment, and retighten. Ensure the frame and hanging surface are plumb and level.

Corrosion appearing on the hinge surface

Wipe the affected area with a soft cloth. For minor spots, a gentle rust remover for galvanised surfaces can be used. Ensure the protective coating is not compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable galvanised steel resists rust and corrosion.
  • Tee design offers superior support for heavier items.
  • Suitable for both internal and external use.
  • Generous 381mm length provides excellent stability.

Cons

  • May be oversized for very small or lightweight doors.
  • Requires secure mounting points due to size and strength.
  • Silver finish may show wear over extended heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired position for the hinges on the door/gate and frame.
  2. Mark the screw holes using a pencil.
  3. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting, especially in harder woods.
  4. Securely attach the hinges using appropriate screws (not included), ensuring they are driven straight and tight.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with wooden doors, gates, and frames.
  • Suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
  • Ensure the mounting surface (wood, metal post) is strong enough to bear the load.

Care:

  • While galvanised steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, occasional cleaning can prolong its appearance.
  • Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.
  • For very harsh environments, a light application of oil to the hinge mechanism can prevent stiffness.
