What are 200mm Heavy Duty Zinc Plated Tee Hinges?
A Tee Hinge in a 200mm (8-inch) size is a versatile hardware staple used to secure medium-sized timber doors and gates. At ECO HEAT SHOP, our “Heavy” range is manufactured with a thicker steel plate than standard domestic hinges. The Zinc Plated (Z.P) coating involves a process of applying a protective layer of zinc to the steel, which acts as a sacrificial barrier to prevent oxidation and red rust.
Why Choose Z.P (Zinc Plated) over Black Powder Coated?
While black hinges are often chosen for their look, Zinc Plated Tee Hinges are chosen for their performance. The Z.P finish is highly recommended for coastal areas or high-moisture farm environments where decorative finishes might chip. This industrial silver finish is designed to withstand the friction of moving parts and the constant exposure to UK rain, ensuring the hinge remains structurally sound for decades.
Engineered for Stability and Weight Distribution
The long, tapered strap of these Tee Hinges is essential for wide gates. By spreading the weight of the timber across 200mm of the door’s surface, it significantly reduces the stress on the screws and the wood itself. This prevents the common issue of “gate drop” or dragging. The pre-drilled, countersunk holes are positioned to provide maximum grip, even in softer woods like pine or cedar.
