Product Description
10" Black Heavy Duty Double Strap Hinges for Wood Gates – Pair
- Heavy duty double strap support — 10" strap length per side provides increased mounting surface for larger wood gates.
- Built for outdoor use — Zinc-coated steel with a rust-resistant black powder coat finish for long-term weather exposure.
- Sold as a pair — Includes two matching 10" double strap hinges for one standard gate installation.
- Ideal for larger gates — Longer strap hinges are commonly selected as gate size and weight increase.
- Hinge quantity guidance — Use two hinges (one pair) for many gates; use three hinges for larger or heavier builds.
These 10" Black Heavy Duty Double Strap Hinges are designed for wood gates where added strap length helps distribute load across more of the gate face. Strap hinge sizing refers to the length of one strap (one side of the hinge), not the total combined width across both straps.
Constructed from heavy duty zinc-coated steel and finished with a black powder coat, these hinges are built for years of exterior performance. The longer strap footprint is a practical choice on heavier, wider, or frequently used gates where greater fastener engagement improves long-term alignment and reduces sag.
For smaller or lighter walk gates, consider the 8" Black Heavy Duty Double Strap Hinges for Wood Gates – Pair.
If you’re looking for a complete, coordinated hardware solution (hinges + latch + handle), see the Heavy Duty Traditional Walk Gate Hardware Kit for Wood Gates.
