Description
A zinc plated 135 x 40mm back plate with four 8mm fixing holes and an upright 16mm gate pin. The price shown is for one hinge plate, with a minimum order of 10.
Why choose this hinge plate
Ready to fix. The back plate is already drilled, so it fixes straight to a post or wall.
Upright gate pin. The pin stands on a short arm, ready for a matching gate eye.
Zinc plated. A zinc plated finish helps protect the steel.
Where it is used
Metal and timber gates hung on gate eyes, fixed to posts and masonry.
How it works
The plate fixes flat to a post, wall or pier, and a short arm holds the upright pin clear of it. A gate eye made for the same pin size sits over the pin, and the gate turns on it.
Fitting the top pin upside down, pointing downwards, is a common way to stop a gate being lifted off its hinges.
Choosing a plate
A square plate spreads its fixings over a wider area, and a long narrow plate suits a slimmer post. Match the pin diameter to the gate eye you are using, and allow for the weight and width of the gate. No load rating is published for these plates, so ask us if you are hanging a large or heavy gate.
Fitting tips
Set both plates on the same vertical line, because pins that are out of line will bind and strain the fixings. Check the post is plumb first. Drill for the fixings, hold the plate in place, and tighten evenly. Hang the gate and check the swing before fully tightening. This is general guidance, so follow good practice for your own gate and site.
Looking after it
Check the fixings from time to time, as gates put a constant load on them. A little grease on the pin keeps the gate moving freely and quietly.
