FAQs
What is the weight capacity of these hinges?
These are classified as heavy-duty hinges, designed to support substantial weight. However, a specific weight limit is not provided. For very heavy gates, using three hinges or reinforcing mounting points is advisable.
Are these hinges suitable for exterior gates exposed to salt air?
The epoxy black finish offers good durability and weather protection. While resistant to corrosion, prolonged exposure to harsh elements like salt air may eventually affect the finish. Regular cleaning and occasional protective coating can extend their lifespan.
Can I paint over the black epoxy finish if needed?
Yes, the epoxy finish can be lightly abraded and then painted with a suitable exterior metal paint. However, for best results and durability, the original finish is recommended.
What is the length of the eyebolts?
The gate eyebolts are 100mm long.
Do I need special tools to install these hinges?
Basic DIY tools are sufficient, typically including a screwdriver or drill with appropriate bits for the included screws, a measuring tape, and possibly a level.
Can these hinges be used for interior doors or gates?
While they are designed for outdoor use, they can certainly be used for interior gates or doors where a heavy-duty and robust hinge is desired.
What is the pin diameter of these hinges?
The pin diameter for these hinges is 12mm.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not swing freely
Check that the hinge pins are properly seated and that the hinges are perfectly aligned. Ensure no obstructions are present. Loosen screws slightly, adjust alignment, and retighten.
Hinges showing signs of rust
Although the epoxy finish is durable, prolonged exposure to salt or harsh chemicals can cause minor surface rust. Clean the affected area with a damp cloth and reapply a thin layer of exterior-grade paint or protective coating if necessary.
Screws do not grip firmly
Ensure you are using the correct size pilot holes for the wood screws. If the wood is soft or pre-drilled holes are too large, consider using larger screws or wood filler to ensure a secure fit.
Gate sags over time
This may indicate the gate is heavier than anticipated for the hinge capacity or that the mounting points have loosened. Ensure all screws are fully tightened into solid wood or posts. For very heavy gates, consider adding a third hinge or reinforcing the mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Measure and Mark: Determine the desired gate spacing and height, then mark the positions for the hinges on both the gate and the gate post.
- Attach Hinges: Position the hinge plates on the marked locations. Use the provided hardened wood screws to securely attach the hinges. Ensure the hinges are aligned to allow the gate to swing freely.
- Mount Gate: Carefully lift the gate and align the eyebolts with the corresponding hinge pins. Ensure the gate is level before fully seating it onto the hinges.
Compatibility:
- Gate Materials: Compatible with both wooden gates and wrought iron gates.
- Mounting Surface: Designed for surface mounting on suitable gate posts and gate frames.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the epoxy finish.
- Lubrication: For optimal performance, occasional lubrication of the hinge pin with a suitable outdoor lubricant is recommended, especially in harsh weather conditions.
