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 T-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 T-Hinges are designed for applications with narrow frame or post, such as tool chests, barn doors, shed doors, and gates. Screw holes are staggered to spread out load and to prevent wood splitting. Can be used for left or right hand installations. Galvanized plating with solid brass pin is ideal for use with treated lumber and exterior applications.
