Hook & Band Strap Hinges are a traditional method of hanging heavier doors and gates etc. This impressive CRANKED pattern hand forged version is suitable for doors/gates up to 70" (1770mm) wide and is a popular choice for garage doors. Forming part of our "Rustix" range this hinge is expertly hand crafted using hammer and anvil and finished in Rustix External Beeswax for a highly traditional look.
**NOTE: These hinges are sold and priced per single hinge**
Supplied complete with round-head slotted wood screws in matching finish.
This 'CRANKED' pattern Hook & Band Hinge is designed for applications where the door face is flush with the frame. As a rule of thumb, light to medium weight doors (soft wood, pine) will require hinges approx one third to half the door width. For heavier doors (eg solid oak) select a hinge one half to two thirds the door width. For doors over 84" (2100mm) high we recommend a third hinge fitted centrally.
Due to the hand forged nature of this product all published dimensions are approximate only.
To keep these hinges in optimum working condition we recommend a once yearly application of light machine oil (3 in 1). The finish on your Rustx External Beeswax product can be maintained with a periodic application of quality beeswax polish. This adds further protection to the metal and helps to prevent any rust or white blooms forming. This finish is NOT recommended for coastal applications or other harsh environments.
These hinges are a non stock product and will normally need to ordered in from the manufacturer. You should therefore allow approximately 3 - 5 days for despatch.
