Cranked Band & Hook on Plates Hinges – Hot-Dipped Galvanised – Pair

Hot-dipped galvanised Cranked Band & Hook on Plates hinges provide robust gate hardware with an offset (cranked) band to help centre the gate within the frame and improve clearance over posts, cladding or furniture. The straight-forward hook-on-plate design lets the banded gate leaf lift on and off for easy installation and maintenance. A deep zinc coating delivers long-lasting corrosion resistance for dependable outdoor performance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hot-Dipped Galvanised: Thick zinc layer for durable rust protection in exposed environments.

Instructions for Use

3. Mount cranked bands to the gate, then lift the gate onto the hooks; check for free swing, centring and clearance.
4. Use coach screws on larger/heavier gates and pilot-drill to reduce splitting.

Limitations & Precautions

• Confirm hinge rating and use appropriate fixings for very heavy or high-traffic gates.
• In aggressive coastal environments, inspect periodically and maintain as required.
• Re-check fixings and alignment after initial settling.
