Description
Quick answer: This pair of straight bands and hooks on plates is a matched hinge set for hanging one suitable timber gate. The long bands fix to the gate and the plate-mounted hooks fix to the posts or frame.
What is the set used for?
Choose it when you want the traditional support of band hinges without buying the gate-side and post-side components separately. The hooks allow the gate to pivot and can make removal for maintenance easier than fixed-pin tee hinges.
- Supplied as a pair for the upper and lower hinge positions.
- Long bands spread support across the gate framing.
- Hooks on plates provide multiple fixing points into the post.
- Available in several band lengths and finishes.
What else do I need?
You need a structurally sound gate post, suitable exterior bolts or screws, and closing hardware. A ring latch or Suffolk latch provides everyday operation; add a Brenton bolt where additional restraint is useful.
Alternatives
Straight hook and band hinges offer another established combined range. Heavy tee hinges are simpler where adjustability and easy removal are not required. Separate adjustable eyes and plate hooks give greater freedom to build a bespoke hanging arrangement.
Before ordering: Match band length to the gate width and framing, not just the overall gate height. Confirm hook pin size, plate dimensions, finish and included fixings. Fit the bands over solid ledges or rails and ensure the post can carry the gate without twisting.
