Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Take total control over your gate alignment with the trade-favourite Gatemate Adjustable Hooks & Bands on Plates. Timber is a natural material that inevitably expands in wet winters and shrinks during dry summers, causing heavy gates to drop or bind over time. This heavy-duty kit features an adjustable threaded eye bolt. With a simple turn of a spanner, you can realign dropped gates in seconds without ever having to unscrew the hardware or re-hang the timber frame.
Infinite Post-Install Adjustment: Features a heavy-duty threaded bolt system that lets you perfectly level and square up your gates years after installation.
Engineered for Heavy Timber: Massive load capacity safely shoulders the substantial weight of wide double driveway gates, courtyard entry doors, and estate gates.
Hot-Dipped Galvanised Defense: Industrial zinc coating provides outstanding corrosion protection against road salt, soil dampness, and extreme winter elements.
Anti-Sag Strap Design: Long structural bands wrap deep across the gate face, securely binding horizontal rails to eliminate sagging.
Collection / Delivery allow 3-5 days
Price range: £47.75 through £51.45 + VAT
When installing heavy timber driveway or estate gates, using standard non-adjustable hinges leaves no room for error. If the fence posts shift slightly over time or the wood absorbs moisture, your gates will quickly begin to drag on the floor. The Gatemate Adjustable Hook and Band Hinge Set is the ultimate structural solution.
By separating the horizontal band from the pivot pin with an adjustable threaded eye, this kit allows you to extend or retract the distance between the gate leaf and the post. This means you can easily fix seasonal gate sagging or binding with a standard wrench in under two minutes.
Threaded Adjustment Eye: The high-tensile threaded bolt features dual locking nuts, allowing you to lock the gate securely into position once perfectly leveled.
Heavy Duty Hook on Plates: Robust vertical backplates distribute the gate’s immense rotational pull evenly down the face of a timber post, concrete pillar, or brick framework.
Stain-Free Galvanised Finish: Thick hot-dipped zinc wash prevents unsightly orange rust bleeding, keeping your premium pressure-treated timber looking clean and professional.
Security Coach Bolt Hole: Each strap features a specialized square punch-out near the front knuckle to accept an anti-tamper security coach bolt, preventing intruders from unbolting the gate from the outside.

Pro Tip: When installing adjustable hinges, mount the threaded eye bolt with the adjusting nuts positioned roughly in the middle of the thread. This ensures you have an equal amount of clearance to adjust the gate either inwards or outwards in the future as the timber shifts. For an essential anti-theft setup, always mount the top hook plate with the pin pointing downward and the bottom hook plate with the pin pointing upward—this locks the gate frame on its hinges so it can never be lifted off by opportunists.
