The bottom part of the part holding the pin would be on the same plane at the "flat" part of the hinge strap if the hinges were folded 90 degrees from their current position as shown in the attached photo. It does not appear there is any offset between the Considering the price, this is a really good deal. I had no problems with the hinges, as they were all of the same quality - strong and sturdy During the manufacturing process, there is good quality control. Thanks! I hope you find this helpful.
I appreciate it very much! Two metal doors 4' x 4' for the back of my dump truck were made by me. They will never fail, I am sure.
No, these gates do not drop. A drop gate requires a special hinge.
Without a doubt. This is a heavy duty product

None of my grease guns fit them, the heads are too small and the grease just squirts on the outsides of the hinges. If you do not want to drill out the hinge and tap for the larger zerk fitting, you will have to install a zerk fitting from your local auto supply store due to the smaller threads. It was stripped of one of the tapped holes from the factory so that the zerk fitting was ready to be removed by itself. I just greased the bolts by hand after I removed them, and I'm sure that's how I will do it from now on. The bolts are extremely heavy duty (you have to weld the bolts While I am still slightly annoyed over the zerk fitting problem, $33 is still a good deal. With the price of 50 (and free shipping with Prime), this is a great There's probably a possibility that I'll drill and tap for new zerk fittings at some point, but since these are back doors on a dump truck, I doubt they will need much maintenance.
For a landscape trailer, I bought some of these hinges. Despite the fast delivery of the hinges, I was rather disappointed when they showed up. In terms of materials, they are made up of heavy gauge steel, but that's all that they are. In the picture, you can see that the grease zerks are all mangled, as seen in the image. Each of the four was twisted. If the zerks were good, it still would not be best to use them since there is no bearing and nothing to hold the grease inside as the hinge is made of metal strapping bent so it wraps around a bolt and there are no other components than that bolt.
5/16" is a really thick gauge of steel for these really heavy things. However, their hinges come with thin plastic bushings that fill in some of the play. That part might end up being rather sloppy, so I'm not sure how long it will last. I've never seen a better deal for this.
Item arrived in good shape and was However, if I had received all four, that would have been awesome! It only comes to me three times. Heavy hinges weren't packaged well enough for a package that was only medium. A piece of UPS tape was affixed to the broken packaging, which meant the packaging had busted loose. There's a chance that one of the hinges fell out. No response came from the seller after I messaged him. Shipping these in better packaging is a must!.
Employee abuse caused them to be welded on a dump trailer where they will be replaced. Having been in use for a little over 4 months now, they are working If I had to buy them again, I would.
I've used it for my dump trailer that I converted to a barn door style.
I could not have ordered a better product.
