Choosing the Right Hinges for Wooden Gates
Gate hinges are essential fittings that allow a wooden gate to open and close smoothly while supporting its weight. The correct hinges help keep the gate properly aligned and provide reliable operation when installed with suitable fixings and supporting posts.
At Intergard, we supply hinges for garden gates, timber doors, shed doors, fencing and shutters. Our range includes traditional strap hinges, hinge hooks, adjustable fittings and other hinge designs for a variety of applications.
When choosing hinges, consider the gate's width, height, weight, construction, supporting post and exposure to the weather. Heavy gates and wide openings may require specially rated fittings.
Strap Hinges for Wooden Gates and Shed Doors
Strap hinges are among the most widely used fittings for traditional wooden gates and shed doors. Their long metal straps provide multiple fixing points along the timber.
They are suitable for a range of gate styles, depending on the hinge dimensions and load capacity.
Hot-Dip Galvanised Strap Hinges
Our hot-dip galvanised strap hinges feature a protective zinc coating designed to help resist corrosion.
They are a practical choice for suitable outdoor applications, including garden gates and timber doors exposed to changing weather conditions.
Stainless Steel Strap Hinges
Stainless steel strap hinges offer another option for outdoor gate installations. Their suitability depends on the stainless steel grade and environmental conditions.
Black Rustic Strap Hinges
For a traditional or country-style garden, our black rustic strap hinges provide a distinctive decorative finish.
They complement wooden garden gates, cottage-style entrances, shed doors and traditional timber fencing.
Hinge Hooks and Adjustable Gate Fittings
Hinge hooks are used with compatible strap hinges to form the pivot connection between a gate and its supporting post or structure.
Depending on the model, hinge hooks can be mounted to timber, masonry or another suitable supporting surface using the prescribed fixing method.
Adjustable Hinge Hooks
Adjustable hinge hooks allow certain gate installations to be aligned more precisely. This can be particularly useful when fitting wide or heavy wooden gates.
Hot-Dip Galvanised Hinge Hooks
For suitable outdoor applications, browse our hot-dip galvanised hinge hooks.
Stainless Steel Hinge Hooks
Our stainless steel hinge hooks offer an alternative for installations requiring an appropriate stainless steel finish.
Important: Always check that the strap hinge and hinge hook are compatible in size, design and load rating.
Gate Hinges for Different Timber Gate Designs
Different wooden gates require different hinge arrangements. The design and weight of the gate, as well as the supporting post, determine which fittings are suitable.
Hinges for Garden Gates
For standard garden entrances, browse our garden gate hinges. Choose fittings suitable for the gate's dimensions and the frequency of use.
Hinges for Heavy Wooden Gates
Heavy timber gates may require longer or higher-capacity hinges, suitable hinge hooks and a sufficiently strong supporting structure.
The load rating of the complete hinge arrangement, including all fixings, should be appropriate for the gate.
Hinges for Shed Doors
Strap hinges and other suitable hinge types are commonly used on timber shed doors and outbuilding doors. For a complete installation, combine your hinges with appropriate door bolts and latches.

How to Choose the Correct Gate Hinge Size
Choosing the correct hinge size is important for the stability and operation of a wooden gate.
Gate Width
Wider gates create greater leverage on the hinges and supporting post. Select fittings that are suitable for the gate's width and construction.
Gate Weight
Check the weight of the complete gate, including timber, framing and additional hardware. The hinge arrangement must be capable of supporting the expected load.
Number of Hinges
The required number of hinges depends on the gate design, weight and manufacturer's specifications. Some applications may require additional hinges.
Supporting Posts and Fixings
The gate post must be sufficiently strong and securely installed. Browse our post supports for suitable timber post installation solutions.
Use fixing screws, bolts and other components compatible with the hinges and timber.
Galvanised or Stainless Steel Gate Hinges?
Outdoor gate hinges should have corrosion protection appropriate to the conditions in which they are installed.
Galvanised Hinges
Galvanised hinges have a protective zinc coating that helps reduce corrosion. The level of protection depends on the coating and exposure conditions.
Hot-Dip Galvanised Hinges
Hot-dip galvanising can provide durable corrosion protection for suitable outdoor applications. Always check the product specifications.
Stainless Steel Hinges
Stainless steel hinges may be suitable for damp or more corrosive environments when the correct stainless steel grade is selected.
Black-Coated Hinges
Black-coated hinges provide a decorative finish. Their outdoor suitability depends on the coating system and the product specification.

- Choose suitable hinges: Select the correct hinge type, dimensions and load capacity.
