How to use

To install the hinge, ensure the mounting surface is clean and level. Align the hinge with the gate frame and the post, marking the screw holes accurately. Pre-drill the necessary holes if working with wood to prevent splitting. Secure the hinge firmly using appropriate fasteners that match the material of your gate and post. Once attached, verify that the gate swings freely without obstruction and adjust the alignment if necessary to ensure smooth operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the weight of your gate to ensure it does not exceed the capacity of a 5 cm hinge.
• Check the material of your gate post to select the correct type of mounting screws.
• Ensure the 0.2 cm thickness is sufficient for your specific clearance requirements.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the hinge for signs of debris or mechanical wear. Applying a light lubricant to the pivot point periodically will help maintain smooth operation and extend the lifespan of the galvanized finish.
