IRONTITE Cranked Gate Hinges - Black

These IRONTITE cranked gate hinges are best suited for heavier wooden, metal, or composite gates due to their heavy-duty construction.

While designed for outdoor use and weather resistance, they can also be used for interior doors, especially if a heavy-duty or traditional look is desired.

The cranked design allows the gate post and the gate itself to sit level with each other, providing a cleaner aesthetic and ensuring a flush fit.

Installation requires basic DIY skills. You will need tools to mark and drill bolt holes. The hinges come with all necessary fixings.

For most standard gates, two hinges are sufficient. For heavier or longer gates, consider using three hinges for added support and stability.

The epoxy black coating is designed for durability and wear resistance, providing a long-lasting finish suitable for outdoor use. However, like any coating, it can be damaged by significant impact.

The hinges come with fixings suitable for general use. Depending on your specific gate post material (e.g., brick, concrete, specialized metal), you may need to source alternative fixings for optimal security.

Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and plumb. Check for any obstructions. Verify that the gate is not too heavy for the number of hinges used.

Apply a suitable lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or light machine oil) to the hinge pin and pivot points.

Verify that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Consider adding an additional hinge if the gate is particularly heavy or long.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. For minor surface rust, a rust-removing product suitable for coated metal can be used, followed by a protective wax. Ensure no harsh chemicals that could damage the coating are used.
