Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Elevate your home’s curb appeal with the Gatemate Ornamental Unequal Hinges. Combining heavy-duty structural performance with a striking, old-world aesthetic, these decorative hinges feature an intentional “unequal” design—a long, ornate strap to anchor across the horizontal gate rail, paired with a compact, matching leaf for narrow fence posts or brick pillars. It is the perfect hardware choice for cottage-style garden gates, pedestrian side entries, and decorative courtyard doors.
Elegant Period Styling: Classic fleur-de-lis inspired ornamental tips add instant character and architectural charm to any timber gate.
Smart Unequal Configuration: Long strap delivers extensive load distribution across the gate face, while the short post-leaf fits restricted timber casings or narrow posts.
Premium Textured Finish: Coated in an advanced, rust-resistant antique black powder coat that shrugs off harsh weather.
Heavy-Gauge Steel: Built to provide the perfect balance of decorative style and trade-rated structural strength.

Don’t settle for boring, industrial hardware on a beautiful, custom-made wooden gate. The Gatemate Ornamental Unequal Hinges allow you to secure your boundary without sacrificing your property’s style. These hinges are uniquely engineered to solve a common installation dilemma: hanging a wide, heavy timber gate onto a relatively narrow or restricted frame post.
The elongated, decorative arm stretches far across the gate’s structural framework to clamp the timber securely and prevent sagging, while the shorter mounting plate sits neatly on your frame without overhanging. This ensures a clean, professional, and well-balanced installation every single time.
High-Leverage Support: The extended strap length reinforces the gate’s horizontal rails, reducing shear strain on the wood fibers and eliminating gate dip.
Heavy Duty Powder Shield: The industrial-grade textured black powder coat resists peeling and chipping, preventing unsightly rust runs from staining your timber.
Smooth-Glide Pivot Barrel: High-tolerance central pin ensures a fluid, squeak-free closing arc even under heavy daily use.
Countersunk Fixing Layout: Precision-stamped screw holes guarantee that all mounting fasteners sit perfectly flush for a sleek, premium look.

Pro Tip: Because unequal hinges feature a longer strap on one side, always mount the long, ornamental side directly onto the horizontal face-rails of the gate leaf itself, and the shorter leaf onto your supporting wall plate or fence post. For a perfectly square installation, clamp the hinges lightly to the gate while it is flat on the ground, drill small pilot holes for your screws to prevent the timber from splitting, and drive the color-matched black fasteners home by hand to avoid scratching the decorative powder coat.
