Overview

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.

Key Features

• 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.

Installation Tip

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.

Overview

Your front garden gate or side entrance is the first thing guests see when approaching your home. Standard industrial hardware keeps boundaries secure, but our Ornamental Tee Hinges ensure your property stands out with timeless, historic elegance. Modeled after traditional hand-forged black ironmongery, these hinges feature distinct decorative points that instantly complement natural wood grains, painted finishes, and pressure-treated timber.

Beyond their looks, these hinges are built for structural longevity. The wide vertical butt plate fastens securely into your fence post or wall frame, while the extended horizontal strap acts as a protective brace across the gate face, reinforcing the wood fibers against warping and dropping over time.

Key Features

• High-Leverage Structural Strap: Spreads the rotational pulling force of heavy gates across a wide surface area, significantly reducing stress on individual fixing screws.

• Textured Black Shield: The premium powder-coated finish acts as an ironclad barrier against rain and UV rays, preventing peeling, chipping, and unsightly rust bleeding.

• Smooth Fluid Action: Features a tightly machined central hinge barrel and a solid interlocking pin that guarantees a quiet, squeak-free swing cycle.

• Countersunk Screw Layout: Precision-stamped, countersunk mounting holes ensure that screw heads sit completely flush against the hinge plates for a premium, snag-free finish.

Installation Tip

Pro Tip: To achieve the best structural support, always position the long decorative strap directly over the horizontal face-rails (the internal structural braces) of your timber gate, rather than just screwing into the thin vertical cladding boards. For an immaculate finish without tool marks, drill small pilot holes into the wood first, and use a manual screwdriver to drive the color-matched black screws home. This prevents the drill bit from slipping and scratching the beautiful, protective black powder coating.

Overview

If you are restoring a period cottage, building a bespoke garden feature, or upgrading rustic interior cabinetry, standard industrial square hinges can break the design’s visual harmony. Our Ornamental Butterfly Hinges are designed to be noticed. Modeled after historic blacksmith designs, these surface-mounted hinges feature elegant scalloped edges and flared wings that instantly complement natural wood grain, painted surfaces, and pressure-treated timber.

Unlike traditional T-hinges that require long horizontal rails, the compact, balanced layout of the butterfly hinge spreads the physical load equally across both sides of the joint. This makes them exceptionally versatile for installations where space is limited but style is paramount.

Key Features

• Balanced Weight Distribution: The flared wing plates provide multiple anchoring points close to the knuckle, ensuring structural stability without needing an elongated strap.

• Textured Anti-Peel Coating: The advanced, industrial-grade black powder finish protects the underlying steel from rust bleeding, keeping your woodwork pristine and stain-free.

• Fluid & Squeak-Free Action: Crafted with tight engineering tolerances around a solid central pivot pin to ensure a smooth, reliable closing cycle.

• Surface-Mount Simplicity: Eliminates the need for tedious mortising or chiseling—simply align the wings flush across the face of your timber frame and drive the screws home.

Installation Tip

Pro Tip: Because butterfly hinges are entirely surface-mounted, visual alignment is key. Clamp your gate or door firmly into its frame using temporary packing shims to maintain an even clearance gap all around. Position the hinges flat across the front seam, centering the main barrel knuckle exactly over the gap between the wood. Drill small pilot holes to prevent the timber from splitting, and use a manual screwdriver to secure the black screws flush, avoiding high-torque drills that might slip and mar the protective black finish.
