Frequently Asked Questions
What type of hinge do I need for a heavy steel gate?
Use a heavy duty bolt-on or weld-on hinge with sealed bearings or greasable pins for smooth operation under load. Richmond’s industrial gate hinges are built for this purpose.
What’s the benefit of adjustable gate hinges?
Adjustable hinges allow you to fine-tune the gate’s position after installation — ideal for long swing gates where sagging or misalignment can occur over time.
Can I use these hinges with automated gate motors?
Yes. Richmond’s swing gate hinges are designed for use with both manual and motorised gate systems. Proper hinge alignment ensures smoother automation performance.
Do you supply hinges for outswing gates?
Yes. Offset and rising hinges in our range are ideal for outswing or sloped driveway applications where ground clearance is required.
