FAQs
Are screws included with the Blooma Galvanised Steel Tee Hinges?
No, fixings are not included with this product. You will need to purchase suitable screws or bolts separately.
Can these hinges be used for internal doors?
Yes, these hinges are suitable for both internal and external use.
What material are the hinges made from?
The hinges are made from galvanised steel, which offers good resistance to rust and corrosion.
How many hinges are in a pack?
Each pack contains two Blooma Galvanised Steel Tee Hinges.
What is the best way to clean these hinges?
Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For smoother operation and added protection, a light application of lubricant to the pivot point is recommended.
Are these hinges suitable for very heavy gates?
The tee hinge design provides good support. However, for very heavy gates, consider the number of hinges used and their placement to ensure adequate load distribution. Always check the weight rating if available or consult a professional if unsure.
Troubleshooting
Hinge squeaking
Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40, silicone spray, or light oil) to the pivot point of the hinge.
Gate or door not closing properly
Check if the hinges are securely fastened. Loosening and re-tightening the fixings, ensuring the door/gate is square, might resolve misalignment.
Visible rust spots
Though galvanised, prolonged exposure can cause minor surface rust. Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a protective coating or a small amount of appropriate metal paint.
Fixings are missing
Fixings are sold separately. Please purchase appropriate screws or bolts for your specific material and application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have the correct size screws or bolts for your application (not included).
- Position the hinge on the edge of the gate or door and the corresponding frame or post.
- Mark the screw hole positions.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary.
- Secure the hinge using your chosen fixings.
Compatibility:
These hinges are designed for general use on wooden gates, shed doors, and similar structures. Ensure the size and weight of your door or gate are appropriate for the hinge's load-bearing capacity. They are compatible with most standard timber and frame materials.
Care:
While galvanised steel offers excellent rust resistance, occasional maintenance can prolong the life of the hinges. Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For prolonged exposure to harsh environments, a light application of grease or oil on the pivot point can ensure smooth operation and further protect against corrosion.
