Description
A neat adjustable gate hinge that bolts to the gate and welds to the post. The flanged nut welds to the face of a steel gate post, the M16 eye bolt screws into it, and the eye is pinned in a jointed-plate bracket already welded to an oval 115 x 40mm back plate. Bolt or coach screw the back plate to the gate through its two 11mm holes, or weld it, then turn the bolt in the nut to set the gap and level the gate, even years later. Rated for gates up to 300kg on two hinges. The price is for one complete hinge, minimum order 6.
Why choose this hinge
No hole through the post. The nut welds to the post face, so there is no drilling right through, no thread sticking out the far side, and nothing to snag on.
Bolt-on at the gate. The back plate takes two bolts or coach screws, so the gate can come off for painting or repair without cutting welds.
Adjust after hanging. Turn the bolt in or out of the nut to pull a dropped gate back level.
Rated for 300kg. Two hinges carry garden gates, side gates and single driveway gates.
Where it is used
Steel garden and side gates, timber gates on steel posts, single driveway gates, bin store and plant room gates, and replacing worn hinges where the post must not be drilled through.

Fitting
Use two hinges per gate leaf, one near the top and one near the bottom. Screw each bolt into its nut and pin the bolt eyes into the brackets. Stand the gate on packers in the opening, hold each back plate flat on the side of the gate stile and fix it through both holes with M10 bolts or coach screws. Swing the assembly so each nut's flange sits flat on the post face, check the two nuts are in a vertical line, then tack and weld round each flange. Grind off the zinc at the weld first and weld with good ventilation. Take the packers out, turn the bolts until the gate hangs level, and paint the welds with zinc-rich primer.
Care
A drop of grease on the pin and the thread once a year keeps the gate quiet and the bolt free to adjust.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one hinge?
Yes, one complete hinge. The minimum order is 6, enough for three gate leaves.
What does "nut on back plate" mean?
The hinge has a back plate for the gate and a flanged nut for the post. The bolt screws into the nut.
Can I fit it without welding?
The back plate can be bolted, but the nut must be welded to the post. For no welding at all, choose a through-bolt hinge on a back plate.
How much adjustment is there?
The bolt has 40mm of thread, so about 20mm of movement once enough thread is in the nut.
Is it left or right handed?
Neither. It works on either side.
