FAQs

What is the maximum weight these hinges can support?

These are described as heavy-duty hinges, ideal for heavier gates. Specific weight limits are not provided, but they are designed for applications beyond standard residential gates.

Can these hinges be used for metal gates?

Yes, these IRONTITE gate hinges can be fitted to wood, metal, and composite materials.

How do I adjust the gate height?

The hinges feature an adjustable bolt. Loosen the lock nut, turn the bolt to raise or lower the gate, and then retighten the lock nut securely.

Are all necessary screws and bolts included?

Yes, this IRONTITE gate hinge set comes complete with all necessary fixings.

How long will the galvanised finish last outdoors?

The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides durable and wear-resistant protection, making them suitable for long-life outdoor weather protection. However, actual lifespan depends on environmental conditions.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic DIY skills and tools are sufficient. You will need tools for drilling the bolt hole and potentially a wrench or screwdriver for tightening the fixings.

Troubleshooting

Gate is not hanging straight.

Loosen the lock nut on the adjustable bolt and turn the bolt to raise or lower the gate leaf until it is level. Retighten the lock nut.

Hinges are squeaking.

Apply a small amount of light oil or grease to the hinge pivot point. Ensure the surface is clean before application.

Fixings are not secure.

Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for your gate material. For wood, pilot holes are recommended. For metal, ensure the holes are tapped or the correct self-tapping screws are used.

Hinge pin is difficult to move.

Check for debris or rust around the hinge pin. Clean thoroughly and apply lubricant if necessary. Ensure the hinge is not overtightened against the post or gate.
