Our Top of the Line Hinges for PVC
Made entirely from stainless steel our Old Fashioned Hinges for use on PVC are
designed along the lines or our regular Old Fashioned Hinges which have be
manufactured in England for over 150 years.
The strap has one inch slots that provide a half inch of lateral adjustment in
either direction. Backing plates are attached to the gate so that
the hinge is bolted from one side to the other, sandwiching the gate in between.
This not only hangs the gate, it strengthens it.
If the rails are a different thickness to the stiles then it will be necessary to use filler blocks. We suggest a solid cellular pvc product such as azek. The use of a gate post insert is also required. Cast stainless steel hinge cups attach to post using stainless steel tek screws.

Installation is Quick and Easy
Step 1
Place the first strap back plate so the bend hooks around the edge of the gate
upright (stile) on the hinge side. It should be centered on the horizontal
rail. Attached the back plate to the gate using two screws. If
the rails are a different thickness to the stiles then it will be necessary to
use filler blocks. We suggest a solid cellular pvc product such as azek.
Step 2
Using a 5/16" drill bit drill three perpendicular holes at least half way through the thickness of the gate.
Step 3
Flip
the gate over and attach the second back plate on the other side so it is at the
same level (measure down from the top of the gate so that the distance is the
same on both sides) as the first back plate. Drill holes as in Step 2
above.
Step 4
Attach
the trap with the pins to the front side of the gate using carriage bolts.
Pass the bolts through the strap, both back plates, and secure with washers and
nuts. Secure firmly but do not over tighten. Depending on the
thickness of the gate bolts may have to be trimmed.
Step 5
Place the gate in the opening between the gate posts. Adjust the position of the gate using blocks and shims under the stiles of the gate so that it is sitting in the desired position. Insert the bottom cups on the bottom pins and attach them to the gate post using two of the four screws in each cup. Remove the blocks and shims. Test that the gate swings properly. Insert the top cups on the top pins and install the remainder of the screws.
