FAQs
What material is the hinge made from?
The hinge is made from iron.
What is the finish of the hinge?
It has a black powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance.
Can this hinge be used for exterior doors?
Yes, the black powder coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for exterior use, though additional care might be needed in very harsh environments.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, the hinges are sold in pairs and come complete with fixings.
How do I remove the door/gate once installed?
Simply lift the door or gate upwards, off the hook part of the hinge.
What is the length of the hinge?
The hinge is 200mm (approximately 8 inches) long.
Is this hinge suitable for very heavy gates?
While sturdy, ensure the weight of your gate is within the load-bearing capacity of two hinges. For extremely heavy gates, multiple hinges or heavier-duty options might be required.
Troubleshooting
Gate or door sticks when opening/closing
Check if the hinges are misaligned or if the door/gate has warped. Ensure the surface the hook is mounted on is plumb and level. Adjust hinge positions if necessary.
Hinge squeaks or makes noise
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the pivot point where the hook meets the band. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dirt.
Door/gate is difficult to lift off
Ensure there is no rust or debris build-up at the point where the hook engages the band. Clean the contact surfaces. Check for any obstructions around the hinge area.
Rust appears on the hinge
Clean the rusted area with a wire brush. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a coat of black exterior paint or a specialized metal sealant.
