Gatemate Galvanised Strong Tee Hinge - Silver

A 'strong tee hinge' typically refers to a heavy-duty hinge with a long, T-shaped mounting plate, designed to provide superior support for heavier doors and gates.

The galvanised finish is a protective coating of zinc that provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making the hinge suitable for outdoor use.

For heavy-duty applications like gates, it's recommended that the hinge arm length is approximately half the width of the door or gate to distribute weight effectively.

Yes, these hinges are supplied with the necessary fixings for installation.

While designed for heavy-duty outdoor use, they can be used on internal doors or cabinets if the robust support is required, though they might appear oversized for lighter internal applications.

Occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. A light application of outdoor lubricant can help maintain smooth operation.

This specific product is galvanised silver. Other Gatemate strong tee hinges are available in Epoxy Black.

Apply a small amount of outdoor-grade lubricant to the hinge pin and pivot points. Ensure there are no obstructions causing friction.

Check if the correct size hinge was used for the weight. For heavy gates, ensure the hinge arm is at least half the gate width and consider using multiple hinges. Ensure all fixings are tightened securely.

While galvanised finishes offer good protection, extensive exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged saltwater environments can cause surface rust. Clean the area and apply a suitable rust inhibitor or outdoor metal paint if necessary.
