Adjustable Gate Hinge M24 x 140mm Thread, Through-Bolt with Weld-On U Bracket, 700kg

A long-thread adjustable gate hinge with a one-piece weld-on U bracket, made for very heavy gates on thick posts. An M24 eye bolt with 140mm of thread passes right through the gate post and is locked by two hex nuts, while its eye is held by a pin and screw inside a U bracket that welds to the gate in one piece. The long thread reaches through posts up to about 100mm and still leaves room to move the gate in or out and level it after hanging. Rated for gates up to 700kg on two hinges. The price shown is for one hinge, minimum order 2.

What you get

Why choose this hinge

The biggest thread in the U bracket range. At M24 this is the heavy end of the through-bolt family, above the M16, M18 and M20 sizes, for gates that have outgrown a lighter hinge.

Reaches through big posts. 140mm of thread passes through 80mm and 100mm box-section posts with thread left for the nuts and for adjustment.

Adjust after the gate is hung. Move the two nuts along the thread to pull the gate towards the post or push it away, then lock them. That is ideal where a post is out of line or a heavy leaf has dropped over time.

One-piece bracket, no loose plates. The U bracket arrives ready to weld as a single part, so there are no separate plates to line up on the gate stile and the two sides of the bracket stay parallel around the eye.

Rated for 700kg. A pair carries heavy driveway gates, commercial yard gates and large farm gates.

Where it is used

Heavy steel gates on large or thick-wall steel posts, commercial and industrial yard gates, timber posts drilled right through, and re-hanging work where the post has moved and the gate needs pulling back into line.

Fitting

Use two hinges per gate leaf, one near the top and one near the bottom. Drill a 26mm hole right through the post at each hinge height, keeping the two holes in a true vertical line. Run one nut onto each bolt, pass the bolt through the post and fit the second nut on the far side. Pin each U bracket onto its bolt eye and fit the retaining screw. Stand the gate on packers, bring the brackets up to the stile and weld them on, grinding off the zinc first and keeping the heat away from the pin. Take out the packers, move the nuts with a 36mm spanner until the gate hangs level and swings true, then tighten both nuts hard against the post. Paint the welds with zinc-rich primer.

Care

Grease the pin once a year and check that the nuts are still tight each spring. If a thread end sticks out into a walkway or driveway, cut it off and paint the cut.
