4″–12″ Heavy Duty Gate T Hinges

I would’ve given it a five star but the powder coating is coming off of the hinges.

These are hinges with a lot of play in them. I installed 3 each side, but since I built my doors installed 1 at top and bottom and 1 about 1/3 the way from top. I also kind of made sure to gently pull down on hinge as I screwed so to preload the door where as if you put on hinge straight door would immediately sag a little. Will update if they don't last. I painted mine same color as doors as others complained about rust. 2 stars for quality 4 stars for cheap gives a net of 3 stars

I ordered the 12" version of these hinges after reading so many positive reviews and getting a great purchase price. I inspected the hinges upon arrival and immediately found that all 6 hinges had approximately 1/16" of slop between the hinge pin and hinge barrel.

There is a need to understand how much movement that play in the hinge pivot point translates to at the other end of a door or gate (the wider the door/gate the greater the up/down movement).

If you decide to use these hinges be sure to account for the hinge pin slop when installing them. Otherwise the far end of your gate/door will hang lower than you expected.

I returned this item since I was building a high quality shed for a family member.
I ended up using the Everbuilt 3-1/2" Tee Hinge from Home Depot for this shed project.

I really don't know how to approach this. This is the sixth set of these I have purchased. So, obviously, I am okay with the hinges. But, let's get real about the screws! The supplied screws were little #6 X 3/4 inch screws like you would use on kitchen cabinet hinges - NOT heavy duty 10 inch barn style hinges. The heads did not quite fall through the holes in the hinges, but it would not have taken hardly any effort at all to pull them through. They should have been at least #12 X 1 1/4 inches. I don't know what they were thinking.

Several of the hinges were bent. They bound up when extended or folded back. The screws that came with the hinges were so small they were not usable. I had to purchase screws from a big box store.

Price was right. The large hinges were perfect size for my barn style door. My door was heavier than average in that 2x4's sandwich 1/2 sheathing to create the door. The hinges were plenty strong enough to get the job done with the heavy door. At first I was a little concerned because the hinges were made of metal that were a litle thinner than I wanted. However, it turned out to be plenty strong. It has nice powder coated paint, looks attractive and I expect it to be a durable finish.

The way I built the door is that I actually added the 2x4 stiffeners into the wall as I was building the wall. Added more 2x4s to hold the door in place. Then I cut out the door from the wall. While the door was being held in place by the temporary 2x4s, I attached the hinges in place, then, removed the temporary 2x4s and the door did not sag but maybe 1/8 of an inch at most.

I purchased these well in advance of my fence/gate project, so I missed my return window or I would return these.
As I was ready to mount these "Heavy Duty" hinges, I noticed the tang (long strap) wobbled a bit too much. If you hold the hinge, and the end of the strap/tang, you can move the strap up and down, there is nearly 1/2 inch of up/down room. This will end up being several inches of sag when you go out 4, 5 or 6 feet. So I though I would pull down the wobble as I mounted them to several test pieces of 2/4's, and the wobble, or rather sag, well it just got worse. There didn't seem to be any end to the sag possible to the point where the hinge would bend.

I have no idea how anyone could use these except for very light, and/or decorative uses. I could care less how thick the metal is (as some have mentioned,) or how short the screws are as others have mentioned, I just want it to work. Again, I have no idea how these hinges could support anything of any weight or span.

I tested the 40 year old hinges I pulled off my old gate, and these worn out rusted hinges still had almost no wobble or sag, even with the rusted hinge pin.

I purchased these for a door on an outdoor shed. They are flimsy and poorly designed; the hinge hardware section that attaches to the jam is undersized and the provided fastening screws are humorously inadequate. These might be better suited for a cabinet door or an interior pantry door.

the hinges are thin and have a lot of play in them. they are probably fine for a garden gate but not much more. also, the description was a bit misleading....they gave the impression that each hinge could hold 110 pounds, but further down the page they state the the 110 pound rating is based on 3 hinges....either way, there is so much slop in the hinge it would be very difficult to hang a door without it sagging. would not buy again....would not recommend

Great product. Worked great for what I needed.
