Perfectly mount your garden gate or shutter

Windows and doors complete our homes and are an eye-catcher for every visitor. Especially pivoting elements such as shutters or magnificent gates are decisive in design for creating a harmonious overall impression. However, to install a garden gate or a shutter, you need not only the right tools, but also functional components such as high-quality gudgeons. That is why you will also find these in our comprehensive range. Whether you need gudgeons for through-bolting or screw-in gudgeons – all of them score with the highest quality and durability.

Installation of screw-in or through-bolted gudgeons

Gudgeons are not all the same – after all, these clever connecting elements are used for doors and gates as well as shutters. Depending on the purpose, there are various types: while you attach the gudgeon for a garden gate, for example, in the door post or frame, the shutter gudgeon is screwed directly onto the window frame. Or more specifically: the screw-in gudgeon is screwed directly into the wall or a frame. The through-bolted gudgeon, on the other hand, is first bolted through the element to be fixed and only then attached at the desired location.

Types of gudgeons: adjustable angle gudgeons and other variations

You also have a choice between different variations: simple or straight gudgeons are well suited for shutters or gates that open in one direction – i.e. forwards or backwards. They can be used for both light and heavy shutters or gates. Angle gudgeons, which are adjustable, are mainly used for particularly heavy elements, as they provide even more stable support. Inclined gudgeons, in turn, are in demand for shutters that open at an angle on the façade. Depending on preference, the gudgeon can be mounted at different angles and still provide stability. In addition, there are decorative gudgeons. They have a decorative function and are primarily used for moving gates that adorn the entrance to the home. Sounds complicated? Don’t worry, we supply instructions for all our products so you can get them into place quickly. What’s more, all our gudgeons are durable and weather-resistant.

High-quality materials for years of outdoor use

Which material you should choose for your gudgeons – whether adjustable or fixed – once again depends on the intended purpose. Factors such as size and weight should in any case play a decisive role in your decision. While inexpensive steel gudgeons score points with their load-bearing capacity, brass gudgeons are characterised by their exceptional corrosion resistance, which is also reflected in the price. More affordable are die-cast gudgeons, which also cope well with heavy loads. Stainless steel gudgeons are the ideal solution, especially for damp or salty environments. They are not only very strong and robust, but also aesthetically pleasing – and at a moderate price.
