3 Way Adjustable Weld-On Gate Hinge, M20 x 130mm Eyebolt, 180 Degree

A weld-on hinge bolt for square-section gates, where the setting has to be adjustable after installation. A heavy steel U bracket welds to the post and carries a pinned eyebolt. The M20 thread passes through a 130 x 60 x 12mm slotted plate that welds to the gate frame, with a washer and nut on each side. Move the nuts along the thread to set the gap between gate and post, and use the slot to shift the depth of the gate. It opens to 180 degrees. The price shown is for one hinge, with a minimum order of 4, because these are normally bought in numbers for a run of gates or doors.

Why this hinge works

You can adjust it after it is installed. Welded hinges normally lock in any error. Here, the gap between gate and post and the gate's depth can both still be adjusted once the steel parts are welded in.

Weld the steelwork, keep the eyebolt clean. The eyebolt, cross pin and fixings are galvanised, while the U bracket and slotted plate are plain steel for welding. Paint or galvanise the plain parts with the frame.

180 degree swing. The hinge sits outside the post face, which lets the leaf fold right back against a run of fencing.

A matching hydraulic closer can be used with this hinge. See the table below.

Where it is used

Steel box-section gates, commercial and school perimeter gates, pedestrian gates and gates that need a hydraulic closer. This is a weld-on hinge, so it is for new fabrication or for gates and posts being altered in the workshop. It is not a bolt-on repair part.

Specifications

Choosing the right size

This M20 hinge is the larger size in the 3 way adjustment group, and its 130mm eyebolt reaches further than the 110mm M16 version. If you also need height adjustment, or a smaller section, look at the four-way versions below. If your gate cannot be welded, look at the bolt-on hinges instead. If your gate needs to close by itself, check our hydraulic closer for 180 degree hinges, and call us to confirm it will suit your gate.

Fitting and care

Weld the U bracket to the post at each hinge height, keeping the two pin centres in a true vertical line. Weld the slotted plate to the gate frame, then bring the parts together: fit the eyebolt in the bracket with its cross pin, pass the thread through the slot, and fit a washer and nut on each side. Hang the gate on packers, set the gap and the depth with the nuts and slot, and tighten up.

Paint the welds and the plain steel after fitting. Keep the nuts tight, grease the pin, and re-check the setting after the first few weeks of use.
