The TIMCO 250mm Straight Band & Hook On Plate Hinges are an ideal solution for homeowners and professionals looking to mount heavy-duty gates or doors in sheds, stables, or garages. These hinges offer robust, reliable support and a simple lift-off design for easy maintenance, though they are specifically sized for gates between 500mm and 750mm in width and may require additional hardware for taller, heavy-duty applications.

This specific hinge size is designed for gate widths between 500mm and 750mm.
Yes, but for any door or gate exceeding 2130mm in height, it is highly recommended to install a third hinge to prevent warping.
Yes, the product comes as a pair and includes the necessary carriage bolts, nuts, washers, and countersunk screws.
You can mount either the top or bottom pin upside down to lock the gate in place, which makes it impossible to lift off the hinges.
The baked-on epoxy finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for most outdoor settings, though extra care should be taken in extremely salty coastal areas.
Check that the hinges are mounted level and ensure the post has not shifted. You may need to adjust the mounting position of the plate.
Lift the gate off the hooks slightly and apply a high-quality silicone-based lubricant or grease to the hinge pins.
Periodically check the nuts and screws, tightening them as needed. If the wood has rotted or split, the post may require reinforcement or replacement.
Installation requires basic hand tools including a drill, bits for pilot holes, and a wrench for the carriage bolts. Ensure the supporting post or frame is solid and capable of bearing the weight of the gate. Align the hook-on plates horizontally and use the provided countersunk screws and carriage bolts to create a flush, secure connection. Maintenance is minimal: simply keep the hinge pins clear of debris and apply a light machine oil or grease periodically to ensure smooth, quiet operation. The black epoxy coating is durable, but avoid using abrasive cleaning pads that could strip the finish and expose the steel to oxidation.
