Strap hinges are the perfect way to connect doors, gates, or even shutters. These are components with pintles or hinges that are attached to posts or frames. The advantage of these load-bearing elements: they are extremely robust, stable, and durable, and can be installed quickly. In our online shop, we offer strap hinges in different lengths, adjustable or fixed versions, with or without hinges, as well as those for heavy gates.

 

Finding the right strap hinges

To find the right strap hinge, three aspects are especially important:

  • Length: The strap hinge should be at least two-thirds as long as the width of the gate you want to attach. This means that, for example, if you have a gate 90 cm wide, you need a strap hinge that is at least 60 cm long.
  • Material: Whether stainless steel, yellow zinc-plated, or hot-dip galvanized – strap hinges are available in different versions. They are suitable not only for indoor use, but also for outdoor use. In addition, the thickness of the respective material plays a role. The rule is: the heavier the version, the more stable the strap hinge. Heavy doors and gates therefore require more robust strap hinges, while lighter versions can use more delicate strap hinges.
  • Area of use: The intended use usually also determines whether a fixed or adjustable strap hinge is more suitable. While strap hinges indoors are often fixed, adjustable strap hinges are the better choice for wooden doors or gates outdoors. Gates or wooden fences outside the house are exposed to the weather and can therefore warp. If they no longer close properly after some time, they can be quickly readjusted.

3 common questions about strap hinges and our answers

To make your selection and installation easier, you will find below three of the most common questions we have received on the topic of strap hinges, along with the answers:

 

Can strap hinges be used on one side or on both sides?

This cannot be answered in general terms – there are strap hinges that can be used on one side as well as those that can be used on both sides. If doors and gates are opened in only one direction, one-sided strap hinges are used. Two-sided strap hinges, on the other hand, can be opened in both directions and are used, for example, on garden gates.

 

Are there strap hinges with special security features?

Yes – these include theft protection, child safety, or fire protection. Anyone who has a gate or door that must meet certain safety requirements should therefore look into this in order to choose the right strap hinge.

 

Can I install strap hinges myself?

With a little DIY skill, strap hinges can be installed yourself quite well. Depending on the type of hinge and the installation method, different tools are required – in general, screwdrivers, a cordless screwdriver, measuring tape, drill, screws, spirit level, and hammer are essential.
