GATE FITTING FASTER FIT TIMBER POST HINGE 400MM ROTECH FG2
Install with only one hole to drill.
Strong, reliable & long-lasting.
Hang your gate quickly and easily.
The FG2 has a unique top strap design that allows you to fit the gate after you’ve installed the bolt-through backing plate.
Unlike most timber post hinges where the strap must be inserted over the gate and through the post, the FG2 allows you to simply sit the gate on the gudgeon and place the saddle over the two studs.
The FG2 uses our new ACME thread.
This is used to provide a full hot-dip galvanised coating that is an average of 103 microns thick along the thread.
Standard zinc plated threads have a coating that is only 25 microns thick, and standard hot-dip galvanised threads have to be recut after galvanising to ensure the nuts can spin properly.
This removes most of the coating from the thread and reduces the rust resistance.
The stronger and wide ACME thread means there is no recutting on the FG2.
Common Questions
What makes the FG2 easier to install than other timber post hinges?
The FG2 has a unique top strap design that lets you fit the gate after you've installed the bolt-through backing plate. Unlike most timber post hinges where the strap has to be inserted over the gate and through the post, you simply sit the gate on the gudgeon and place the saddle over the two studs. You only need to drill one hole, so hanging your gate is quick and easy.
Why is the ACME thread better?
The FG2 uses a new ACME thread that gets a full hot-dip galvanised coating averaging 103 microns thick along the thread. Standard zinc plated threads only have about 25 microns of coating. Standard hot-dip galvanised threads have to be recut after galvanising so the nuts spin properly, which removes most of the coating and reduces rust resistance. The ACME thread is stronger and wider, so there's no recutting needed on the FG2, meaning better rust protection and longer life.
What size is the FG2 hinge?
The FG2 is 400mm.
Is this hinge long-lasting?
Yes. The FG2 is strong, reliable and designed to last. The hot-dip galvanised coating and ACME thread design provide excellent rust resistance and durability.
