Description
A compact machined weld-on hinge with neat ball ends, for steel doors, cages and gates. This 118mm hinge comes in two halves: the bottom half carries a 12mm pin and welds to the post or frame, the top half welds to the door or gate and drops over the pin. At 21mm across it sits neatly between slim box sections, and the door lifts straight off the pin when you need to take it down. The price shown is for one hinge (both halves), minimum order 10.
What you get
| Part | Qty | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Bottom half with fixed pin | 1 | 58mm body, 12mm pin 22mm long. Welds to the post or frame. |
| Top half with socket | 1 | Drops over the pin. Welds to the gate or door. |
Why choose this hinge
Machined, not pressed. Both halves are turned steel with a machined 12mm pin, so the pin sits true in its socket.
Slim and tidy. A 21mm barrel with turned ball ends and grooved bands looks finished even before it is painted.
Stated limit of 400kg. The maker publishes a maximum weight limit of 400kg for this size.
Lift-off. Doors and gates lift off for painting, repairs or access, and drop back on with no tools.
Ready to weld. Bare steel, so there is no plating to grind off first.
Where it is used
Steel mesh cages and tool stores, cabinet and enclosure doors, bin store and meter cupboard doors, light side gates and general fabrication where a compact hinge is needed.

Fitting
Use two hinges per gate or door, one near the top and one near the bottom; add a third on a tall door. Stand the gate in the opening on packers with an even gap at the hinge side. Put the two halves of each hinge together, pin end down, and hold the barrel in the corner between the gate stile and the post. Check all the hinges are in one vertical line, then tack the bottom halves to the post and the top halves to the gate. Weld each half to one side only, or the gate will not swing. Lift the gate off to check it moves freely, then weld out. Keep weld spatter out of the joint, and let it cool before you hang the gate.
Care
Paint the barrel with the gate, keeping paint out of the joint. There is no oiling point on this hinge, so lift the gate off once or twice a year and grease the pin.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one hinge?
Yes, one complete hinge in two halves. The minimum order is 10, enough for five gates or doors.
How much weight will it carry?
The maker states a maximum weight limit of 400kg for this size. Weld quality and the steel you weld to decide what the finished hinge will hold, so have a competent fabricator size the job.
Can I bolt it on?
No. It is made to be welded. For a bolt-on fixing see our adjustable gate hinges with back plates.
Which way up does it go?
The half with the pin goes at the bottom, on the post. The top half drops over it.
Can the gate be lifted off?
Yes, it lifts straight off the pin. If it must not lift off, weld a small stop above the gate stile or choose the zinc plated hinge with the locking grease nipple.
Will it rust?
It is bare steel, so paint it with the gate after welding, keeping paint out of the joint.
