Types of Gate Hinges
Gate hinges come in many forms for different applications, They are mainly made from steel with many forms of coating such as galvanize and Zinc, Just recently we have able to secure Stainless steel hinges single and double action where the hinge allows the Gate/Door to swing both ways,
Not all gate hinges can be Galvanized as the actual pivot mechanism needs to be honed out for a tight fit, Zinc plating only adds 0.0001”- 0.0005”to the surface where as Hot dipped galvanized adds in some cases 2-3mm and any working part of the gate hinge becomes un-workable. There are hinges that have been developed using polymer (combining synthetic plastics) very strong and have are low maintenance some gate hinges from D&D Technologies can carry weights up to 450kg as this is not recommend as the self closing action does not function properly for long periods after 70kg, these gates hinges from D&D Technologies are a great solution in a seaside environment.
Strap Hinges some times known as hook and band are ideal for timber gates they offer a strap and the holes are off set so the timber won't spilt, a better solution would be to have a plate on each side rather. Hook and band style hinges offer adjustment in the case of timber gates sagging or twisting.
