This size is often used on everyday backyard gates, ornamental entrances, side yard gates, and utility gate openings where sturdy operation and decorative appeal go hand in hand.
Made from heavy duty zinc-plated steel with a rust-resistant black powder coat, these hinges are designed for outdoor exposure and everyday use. Their ornamental profile adds visual character while still delivering the strength you count on for a functional gate.
