We offer five varieties of gate hinges!

Surface-Mounted: Are you installing a light-duty or medium-duty gate? Surface-mounted hinges are commonly used for barn doors and gates of medium weight. They are generally easier to install and come in a wide variety of decorative styles that will add some charm to the outside of your home. Both tee hinges and strap hinges are surface-mounted.

Single- or Double-Acting Spring: You can make your gate much more convenient by installing a self-closing spring hinge. This hinge will return your gate back to its closed position. Single-acting spring hinges are ideal for doors that swing in only one direction, whereas double-acting spring hinges are ideal for doors that swing in both directions.

Bolt-On / Weld-On: When it comes to installing a heavy-duty gate, you will want to have the strongest hinges on hand. Bolt-on and weld-on hinges are ideal for large metal gates, because they provide the highest weight rating, often exceeding 1,000 pounds per pair of hinges. Hinges of this type may leave a larger gap between the frame and the gate.

Bolt Hook and Strap: Otherwise known as pintle hinges, which are ideal if you want your gate to swing in a specific direction or swing both ways. Pintle hinges can safely handle a lot of weight and come in handy if you need to mount a gate to a masonry wall. Best of all, you can remove the gate by simply lifting it off of the bolt hook.

Butt with Dummy Straps: Hanging a barn door, carriage house door, or some other kind of heavy-duty gate? Butt hinges, also known as full mortise hinges, can sustain a lot of weight and you can give them the look of an actual strap hinge by installing dummy straps on the surface of the gate.
