Wooden Gate Hinge, M16 Pin, 800mm Strap, Adjustable, Gold Finish

A long adjustable strap hinge for timber gates and boarded doors, with an 800 x 40mm strap and an M16 threaded pin. The strap runs across the face of the gate with six holes spaced along its length, ending in a pointed tip. At the post end it turns up into a lug, slotted 25 x 18mm, which the pin passes through and locks in place with a nut and washer on each side. The pin's eye turns in a bracket on a narrow 130 x 35mm post plate. All parts have a gold coloured plated finish. In the box are the strap, post plate with pin, two nuts and two washers. The price shown is for one hinge, minimum order 2.

What you get

Why choose this hinge

The longest strap in this range. Six holes along 800mm put fixings into many boards rather than two or three, and a long strap ties those boards together across the gate. On a ledged and boarded gate or door, that is the usual reason for choosing one.

A strap that goes the distance without bulk. At 40mm wide it stays slim on the face of the timber, and the pointed tip gives a traditional look on a barn door or a yard gate.

Adjustable after hanging. The nuts run along the 83mm shank to set the gap at the post. The 25mm slot on a 16mm pin leaves about 9mm of movement across the thickness of the gate.

A published weight limit. The supplier gives a maximum weight limit of 300kg for this hinge, the same as the 400mm M16 model, which shares its pin and post plate. It weighs about 1.8kg.

Specifications

Is this the right hinge?

This is the long strap in the group. The 400mm M16 hinge has the same pin and post plate at half the length, so look at that one if your frame is too small for 800mm. The M20 and M24 hinges have a thicker pin on a shorter, wider strap. A longer strap does not raise the weight limit here, so choose it for how far you need the fixings to spread, not to carry more weight.

Fitting

Use two hinges per gate, near the top and near the bottom. Check the leaf is wide enough for the 800mm strap first, and that the strap lands on solid timber for its full length. Fix the post plates to the face of the post, in line with each other. Lay the strap level across the gate, fit a coach bolt through the square hole by the lug and fix through the other five holes. The sizes of these holes are not published, so check your fixings against them. Stand the gate on packers, pass each pin through its lug, fit the nuts and washers either side and set the gap, then tighten the nuts against the lug.

Care

Grease the pivot and check the nuts each spring. A long strap crosses many boards and they can move at different rates, so check every fixing along its length rather than only those near the post.
