The 8305 Back Plates for Cranked Strap Hinges from Snug Cottage Hardware are an optional accessory that provides extra strength for the installation along with maintaining aesthetics on both sides of the gate. 8305 Back Plates are available in 12", 18", 24", and 36" lengths to match the sizes for the Cranked Strap Hinges. Using the backing plates will increase the overall strength of your installation because the gate will be sandwiched between two plates of steel and the carriage bolts will get a much better grip since they won't be pulling into the wood.
This hardware is ideal for use with Wood Gates.
Back Plates (8305-BP) Features:Note: The first carriage bolt hole (to the left in picture) is designed for a 1/2" carriage bolt while the remainder are designed for 3/8".

Here are some great pictures from our customer Abel down in Deer Park, Texas, of a very heavy duty gate he built and attached to his dog-ear wood fence, installed on 4x4 steel posts. He used our Snug Cottage wood gate hardware to install this gate, to provide a very secure installation.
The gate is hung using three 18" Heavy Duty Galvanized Cranked Band Hinges (8305-182) paired with Back Plates (8305-BP182), attached to Mounting Plates with 8" Adjustable Pins (8256-342), also using Backing Plates (8256-BP022). Note how the top pin faces down, which keeps the gate from being lifted off the hinges. To latch the gate, Abel used our 15" Slide Bolt (5002-L152). For added security, and to relieve stress on the latch, Abel also installed two stainless steel gate stops (1400-316).
Here are a couple of pictures of a very heavy duty door that our customer built and hung for his new bar/restaurant over in Idaho. Larry chose to use a variety of Snug Cottage Hardware to hinge the door, and he couldn't be more pleased with the results.
The Gate Hinges used are a combination of 8305 Series Heavy Duty Cranked Strap Hinges, 8307 Series Heavy Duty Straight Strap Hinges, and 8256-34P Mounting Plates with 8" Adjustable Pins. All this hardware is finished in a black powder coated polyester which is applied over hot-dip galvanized steel, creating an incredibly durable product.
The project looks great Larry! Good luck with the new restaurant!
