Doors and gates wear out hinges and posts over time. Weight, size, and constant use can contribute to hinge wear. When combined with a narrow mounting surface, standard t-hinges concentrate stress resulting in failure. With Hardware Essentials Broad Heavy Duty Strap-Hinges the stress on a mounting surface is more evenly distributed. A wider strap provides better support and stability. Great for 4 x 4 posts.
Heavy Strap Hinges are designed for barn doors, shed doors, gates and fences. Ideal for applications with wide mounting surfaces. Screw holes are staggered to spread out load and to prevent wood splitting. Can be used for left or right hand installations. Stainless Steel material is ideal for coastal, treated lumber and other exterior applications.
