| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Brand | John George |
| Finish | Black or Galvanised |
| Available Sizes | 12 inch, 15 inch, 18 inch |
| Application | Garden gates, shed doors, outbuildings |
| Material | Steel |
What it's used for
- Hanging garden gate doors on timber posts and frames
- Fitting shed doors where extra strap length gives better load distribution across the door face
- Securing outbuilding and workshop doors subject to frequent opening and closing
- General timber gate repairs where an existing hinge has corroded or failed
Fitting and handling
Fix the strap arm across the face of the door and the short leaf to the frame or post, using coach screws or suitable timber screws for a firm hold in the timber grain. Galvanised hinges are the better choice for exposed outdoor positions where moisture is a constant factor, while the black finish suits more sheltered or decorative installations. Store in a dry location before fitting to prevent surface rust on cut edges.
FAQ
What is the difference between the black and galvanised tee hinges?
The black hinges have a painted or lacquered finish suited to sheltered gates and sheds. The galvanised versions carry a zinc coating that resists rust in wet or exposed outdoor conditions, making them the more practical choice for gates facing prevailing weather.
Which size tee hinge should I use for a standard shed door?
As a general guide, use a hinge length that covers at least half the width of the door leaf. A 12 inch hinge is adequate for a narrow shed door, while a 15 or 18 inch hinge gives better support on wider or heavier doors.
Can I use these tee hinges on a feather edge close board gate?
Yes. The strap design spreads the load across multiple boards rather than concentrating it at a single fixing point, which makes tee hinges a sensible choice for close board and ledged timber gate constructions.
These hinges are stocked at Nottage Timber Merchants in Bridgend and are available for collection or local delivery across South Wales. If you are building or repairing a gate, browse our ironmongery collection for bolts, latches, and gate furniture to complete the job in one order.
