FAQs
What material are these hinges made of?

Can these hinges be used outdoors?
Yes, the black powder-coated finish provides robust protection against weather and rust, making them suitable for outdoor use.
How do I prevent the gate from being lifted off?
Install the top hinge pin upside down. This will prevent the gate from being lifted off its hinges.

Each pack includes one pair of hinges and the necessary fixings for installation.
Are these hinges suitable for lightweight doors?
These hinges are designed for heavy wooden doors and gates. They may be oversized or require specific mounting considerations for lighter applications.
Troubleshooting
Gate is misaligned or sags
Loosen the adjustable eyebolt slightly and re-align the gate. Tighten the bolt securely once the desired alignment is achieved.
Hinge is difficult to operate
Ensure the gate is properly supported. Check for any obstructions or debris around the hinge mechanism. Lubricate the hinge pin if necessary.
Gate cannot be removed for maintenance
Verify that the hinge pin is installed in the upright position. If it was installed upside down for security, you may need to temporarily remove the upside-down pin to allow gate removal.
Rust spots appearing on the finish
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. Apply a suitable rust inhibitor or a protective coating to the affected area and the rest of the hinge.
