Description
An adjustable M24 hinge for heavy timber gates, made for fixing to the front face of the post. A black steel post plate carries a 10mm thick bracket that stands 65mm off it, and the M24 pin runs through an oval hole in that bracket, parallel to the post face, with a nut and washer on each side. The other end of the pin turns in the knuckle of a 220 x 80mm black strap plate that fixes to the gate. You get the strap plate with its knuckle, the post plate with its bracket, the M24 pin, two nuts and two washers. The price shown is for one hinge, minimum order 2.
What makes this hinge different
We sell two M24 hinges with the same 220 x 80mm strap, and from a distance they look alike. The strap and the pin are the same size. The difference is the post plate, and it decides which face of the post you fix to.
| This hinge | Hinge with the plain post plate | |
|---|---|---|
| Which way the pin runs | Along the post, parallel to the plate | Straight into the plate, at right angles to it |
| Fixes to | The front face of the post, on the same side as the strap | The side of the post that faces the gate |
| How the pin is held | Through an oval hole in a bracket, with a nut and washer each side | Through the centre of the plate, locked with its nuts |
| Stands off the post | 65mm bracket | 30mm boss |
| Post plate holes | Four round holes at 70 x 120mm centres | Four 22 x 12mm slots at 60 x 119mm centres |
| Weight | About 2.28 kg | About 2.04 kg |
Choose this one when the front of the post is the face you can get at, or when the gate and post sit flush and you want both plates on the same side. Choose the other when the side of the post that faces the gate has room for a 100mm wide plate.
Why choose this hinge
Two ways to adjust. Wind the two nuts along the pin to close up or open the gap between gate and post. Slacken them and the pin can also move along the oval hole, which is 36mm long for a 24mm pin, so about 12mm of travel towards or away from the post face.
A thick bracket where it counts. The bracket is 10mm thick and 50mm tall, and it is welded to the post plate on its centre line, so the pin has solid steel around it at the point that takes the load.
Bolt-on, no welding. Both plates fix to the face of the timber, so it suits new gates and replacement work on existing posts.
Rated for heavy gates. The manufacturer rates this hinge for gates up to 700kg. Posts and fixings must be strong enough for the gate you hang on them.
Where it is used
Heavy timber field and farm gates, estate and yard gates, and wooden gates on oak or softwood posts where the plates fix to the front of the post.

Fitting
Use two hinges per gate, one near the top rail and one near the bottom rail. Stand the gate on packers in the closed position. Bolt the post plates to the front face of the post with the brackets standing out square from it, then pass each pin through its oval hole with a nut and washer on each side of the bracket. Fix the strap plates to the front face of the gate with the knuckle at the hanging end, so that each knuckle sits over the head of its pin.
Set the gap by winding the nuts along the pin, then tighten them against the bracket from both sides. If the gate needs to sit closer to or further from the post, slacken the nuts, slide the pin along the oval and lock it again.
Care
Grease the knuckle, and check the nuts and fixings each spring.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one hinge?
Yes, one complete hinge, with a minimum order of 2. Most gates need two hinges.
Is it left or right handed?
No. The strap plate and the bracket are symmetrical, so the same hinge suits either hand of gate.
Will it work on a gate set between two posts?
This hinge fixes to the front face of the post, so the plates sit on the same side as the gate strap. If your plates need to sit on the side of the post facing the gate, choose the plain post plate version.
What fixings do I need?
Coach bolts or coach screws to suit the plate holes and the size of your timber. They are not included.
How heavy a gate will it carry?
The manufacturer rates it for gates up to 700kg, provided the posts are strong and well set.
