FAQs

Can I use this on a 20mm fruit cage frame?

No, this hinge pin is specifically designed for 27mm black powder-coated aluminium cage systems.

What else do I need to buy to make a door?

You will need the premium cage hinge eye joiner and standard cable ties to complete the installation.

Is the hinge pin weather-resistant?

Yes, it is constructed from durable steel and finished to withstand outdoor garden environments.

Can I paint these to match a different frame color?

While the finish is black, you can apply an outdoor-rated metal spray paint if you need to match a different color, provided the paint is suitable for steel.

What are the internal and external diameters?

The internal diameter is 28.3mm, and the outer diameter is 37mm.

Troubleshooting

Hinge pin keeps sliding out

Ensure that a high-quality cable tie is properly cinched around the assembly to physically lock the pin in the hinge eye.

Pin does not fit the frame tubing

Verify that your fruit cage system is exactly 27mm. This pin is not compatible with standard 20mm or 32mm systems.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength steel construction for durability
  • Perfectly sized for 27mm aluminium cage systems
  • Provides a professional, secure mounting point for cage doors
  • Discreet black finish matches frame components

Cons

  • Requires additional hinge eye joiner to function
  • Must be secured with separate cable ties
  • Limited compatibility with non-27mm frame sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this component, align the hinge eye joiner with your 27mm aluminium tubing. Once the joiner is secured, slide the hinge pin into position to create the pivot point. You must use a cable tie to lock the pin into the hinge eye, preventing displacement. Compatibility is strictly limited to 27mm black powder-coated aluminium systems. For care, inspect the hinge point annually. Because the pin is made of steel, ensure the powder coating remains intact; if chips occur, consider a quick touch-up with outdoor-rated paint to prevent oxidation.
