Suitable Applications
- Garden and field gates, bin-store and shed doors
- Outbuilding, stable and store-room doors
- Cabinets/cupboards (smaller sizes)
Instructions for Use
- Select hinge length to suit door width and weight (larger doors require longer straps).
- Offer up and mark fixings; pilot-drill timber to avoid splitting.
- Fix the strap to the door first, then align and secure the frame leaf; check for free swing.
Limitations & Precautions
- For heavier or high-traffic gates, consider medium/heavy-duty hinges sized appropriately.
- In aggressive coastal environments, additional maintenance or stainless hardware may be required.
- Use appropriate fixings for the substrate; coach screws may be preferred on large gates.
