4″–12″ Heavy Duty Gate T Hinges

These are nice, attractive hinges, the paint looks good, and they will handle a good size door, but I would not recommend using them on something very heavy. They are certainly not the quality of good brass door hinges. The pin is not removable, so taking the door or gate off will require removing the screws. There also appears to be a plastic bushing between the hinge sections. While this gives the hinge a very smooth action, I suspect a lot of heavy usage will cause the bushings to wear fairly rapidly resulting in a very loose hinge. No way of knowing how the plastic will handle heat, cold, and sunlight in an outdoor environment. For indoor applications and lightweight doors they should be fine. The screws provided are not very long or robust. They are inadequate for attaching a hinge through something like a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood into a two by four frame. It would appear that the beveled hinge screw holes would accommodate a slightly larger screw and certainly a longer one.

I built a custom door for my wife's chicken coop that easily weighs 80lbs and these hinges supported the weight with no problem at all. The finish is nice, and they add the farmhouse vibe well.

Original order received as a sealed empty bag. I do not owe for replacements. Small hinge side was too short to use once I did receive replacements and I had to order longer hinges.
