FAQs
Can these hinges be used outdoors?
Yes, they feature a powder-coated finish designed specifically for outdoor use and corrosion resistance.
Are mounting screws included?
Typically, mounting hardware is sold separately to ensure you can choose screws that match your specific wood type and thickness.
Are these hinges suitable for heavy barn doors?
Yes, the 400mm length provides significant support for heavy wooden doors and gates.
How do I prevent the hinges from sagging over time?
Ensure you mount the hinges into the structural part of the frame rather than just the decorative trim, and verify the door is properly leveled during installation.
Can I paint these hinges a different color?
While the factory powder coat is durable, you can paint over them with metal-bonding paint if you lightly scuff the surface first.
Troubleshooting
The gate is sagging or difficult to close
Check that the hinges are perfectly aligned vertically. If the gate is very heavy, you may need to add a third hinge or ensure the mounting screws are driven into solid structural timber.
Hinge appears to be rusting
Check if the powder coating was scratched during installation. Small scratches can be treated with a touch-up paint specifically designed for exterior metal to prevent further corrosion.
Hinge pivot is squeaking
Apply a small amount of heavy-duty silicone lubricant to the joint pin to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these hinges, begin by marking the mounting positions on both the gate and the frame while the door is held in its final closed position. Use a spirit level to ensure the hinges are perfectly vertical. We recommend using high-quality exterior-grade screws that match the diameter of the pre-drilled holes. For maintenance, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is sufficient to remove dirt. If the hinge begins to squeak over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant applied to the pivot point will restore smooth operation. Periodically check the screws for tightness, especially during the first few months after installation, as wood may naturally expand or contract.
