Bolt-On 180 Degree Adjustable Gate Hinges, M16, Galvanised and Aluminium (Pair)

A bolt-on 180 degree adjustable hinge, sold as a pair, for metal gates that cannot be welded on site. An aluminium U clamp bolts to the post and an aluminium grip plate bolts to the gate frame, with a hot-dip galvanised M16 eyebolt and cross bolt between them. The thread gives you 25mm of depth adjustment, and the hinge moves 15mm in height. You can also set the distance between gate and post after hanging. It can be fitted to left or right-hand gates and is sold and priced as a pair. The maximum gate width is 2000mm.

Why this hinge works

No welding at all. The hinge fits with bolts and expanding anchors, so you can hang a gate on site in an area where hot work is not allowed, and without damaging the finish on a powder-coated post.

Three adjustments. 15mm in height, 25mm in depth, and the gap between gate and post, all after fitting. That covers almost every misalignment you get on a real site.

Hard to tamper with. The eyebolt and cross bolt are a vandal-resistant type, so they are harder to interfere with once the gate is hung.

The eyebolts are hot-dip galvanised and the U clamp and grip are aluminium, which suits outdoor use.

Where it is used

Metal pedestrian gates and small vehicle gates, security fencing, school and public site perimeters, and gates fixed to powder-coated posts where a welder would strip the finish. It suits square-section posts and frames that take the fixings. Keep to the 2000mm maximum gate width.

Specifications

Choosing the right option

This galvanised version is one of two bolt-on 180 degree hinges on our list, with the black version being the other. Choose by finish: this one has aluminium and galvanised parts, and the black version suits a dark gate. If you can weld, and want an M20 eyebolt or a heavier leaf, look at the weld-on hinges below. If your gate is wider than 2000mm, this hinge is the wrong one, so call us about a heavier alternative.

Fitting and care

Drill the post and gate frame to take the fixings, noting the 25mm hole centres on the post and 30mm on the gate. Bolt the U clamps to the post and the grip plates to the gate. Insert the eyebolts with their cross bolts and pass each thread through the grip plate slot. Stand the gate on packers, set the height and depth, fit the washers and nuts, and take the gap up on the thread. Check that the gate swings freely through its full 180 degrees, then tighten everything hard.

Check the fixings and setting a few weeks after installation, and once a year after that. Aluminium does not need painting.
