{"product_id":"upper-insert-gate-hinge-50mm-box-section","title":"Upper Insert Gate Hinge for 50mm Box Section, Bearing Plug and Post Bracket","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA top hinge that drops into the end of a 50mm box section gate upright.\u003c\/strong\u003e A tapered plug pushes into the open top of the upright and carries a turning head, and a folded steel bracket with four 9mm holes fixes that head to the post. Nothing is welded to the frame, and from the front you see only the head and the bracket. A gate leaf also needs a bottom hinge to work with this one. That matching lower hinge is sold separately, so if you cannot see it on our site please call us. The price shown is for one upper insert hinge, with a minimum order of 5, because hinge sets are usually bought for more than one leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/upper-insert-gate-hinge-50mm-box-section-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Dimension drawing of the upper insert gate hinge for 50mm box section, 81mm reach and 69mm high, with a four hole bracket\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this hinge works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt fits into the frame, not onto it.\u003c\/strong\u003e The plug disappears into the end of the box section, so the upright stays plain and square at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA bearing at the turning point.\u003c\/strong\u003e The plug is hollow and carries a ball bearing, so the head turns on a bearing rather than on a plain pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment at the head.\u003c\/strong\u003e A toothed slide plate and a small screw at the end of the top leg of the bracket let you trim the position of the gate.
