Garden Gate Hinges for Timber Gates & Doors

Browse gate hinges at Clarke Fencing for timber garden gates, side gates and suitable external doors. Our range includes tee hinges, band and hook sets, adjustable hinges and reversible designs.

Hinges carry the gate while allowing it to open and close. Their size, construction and mounting arrangement need to match the gate and its supporting post or frame.

Choosing Your Gate Hinges

Tee hinges combine a strap fixed across the gate with a shorter mounting plate on the post or frame.

Band and hook hinges use a separate gate band and supporting hook. Straight, cranked and adjustable versions provide different mounting and alignment options.

Consider the gate’s width and weight, the position of its structural rails and the required opening clearance. Check the manufacturer’s application guidance alongside hinge length and finish.

Gate Hinge FAQs

How do I choose the right hinge size?

Use the gate dimensions, weight and construction together with the hinge manufacturer’s guidance. Hinge length alone does not establish its load capacity.

Are adjustable hinges useful for gate alignment?

They allow alignment changes within their adjustment range, including during fitting. Persistent movement also calls for checking the gate frame, fixings and posts.

Can I reuse existing screw holes?

Only where the timber is sound and the holes provide the required fixing grip. Replacement hinges may have different hole positions or fixing requirements.
