Description
The Wrought Iron Strap Hinge 90 cm is a robust, hand-forged hinge set designed for large doors and gates. Finished using traditional blackening techniques, this hinge maintains the authentic, handcrafted look typical of classic ironwork. While the black finish does not provide complete weatherproofing, it’s easily maintained with an oiled cloth and adds character to any rustic or heritage-style structure.
Each strap measures 90 cm in length, with a total weight of approx. 6 kg for the set. The hinge pins are installed through the door frame using threaded eye bolts (16 mm in diameter and approximately 14 cm long).
Installation Notes:
In addition to the hinges and bolts, you’ll need tools such as a drill, wood or masonry bits, hammer, wrench, and either masonry mortar or chemical anchor (for stone posts). These hinges are suitable for level door and frame alignment, but custom pins can be made for offset installations.
Secure the straps to the door by driving bolts, nails, or screws through the structural frame. Position the hinge pin holes on the frame after the strap height is set. Drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the bolt diameter for better grip.
If attaching to stone, drill a loose-fitting hole and set the pin with mortar or chemical anchor—wait until it’s cured before hanging the door.
Make sure to leave a small gap between the hinge loop and the pin to ensure smooth movement. The pin side of the strap should always be bolted for strength; the rest can be secured with wrought nails or screws. For nails, drive the end through the wood and bend it securely back using two hammers—a traditional blacksmith’s locking method that ensures a permanent hold.
