Heavy Duty Cranked Strap Hinges (8305-S)

Our Heavy Duty Cranked Strap Hinges are sold in pairs and can be used with any of our 3/4" pins. These hinges are through-bolted to ensure a secure installation and provide support to help prevent sagging over the years. These hinges are ideal for double driveway entrance gates, rail gates, and dumpster enclosure gates that are built with variable thicknesses. These hinges can also be purchased as a set (#8305-S). If your gate is 3" or 3-1/2" thick, you may want to check out our Heavy Duty Rear Eye Double Strap Hinge Hardware Sets (#8325-S/#8324-S).

We offer these hinges in two finishes (Galvanized and Black BPPCG) and in four sizes: the 12" hinges are designed for gate leafs up to 4' wide; the 18" hinges are designed for gate leafs up to 7' wide; and the 24" and 36" hinges are designed for gate leafs up to 10' wide. Order one pair per gate leaf on your project. Your strap hinges should be 1/4 - 1/3 the width of your gate leaf.

This hardware set is designed to work with various gate thicknesses. The offset (crank) portion of the strap hinge allows for the eye of the hinge to align with the pin. These hinges are designed to be through-bolted, which helps to lock your corners at 90° and to prevent the gate from sagging.

Heavy Duty Cranked Strap Hinges (#8305) Features:
  • Extremely heavy duty!
  • Intended for use on large and heavy gates that are constructed using wood or cellular PVC.
  • Each pair includes two 12", 18", 24", or 36" Cranked Strap Hinges.
  • Straps are 2-1/4"W x 3/16" thick.
  • The 3/4" eye will fit any of our 3/4" Pins (Sold Separately)
  • Minimum 1/2" gate gap required between the gate post and gate leaf.
  • Manufactured from forged steel.
  • Available in Hot Dipped Galvanized or Black (BPPCG) finishes.
  • Fasteners NOT included.

Ordering Notes:

Carriage bolts for these hinges are sold separately. Each 12" - 24" Cranked Band Hinge requires one 1/2" and two 3/8" carriage bolts. Each 36" Cranked Band Hinge requires one 1/2" and three 3/8" carriage bolts.

Optional Back Plates are available for these hinges, providing a more secure installation and a finished look on the front and back of your gate and post.

Your carriage bolts must be 1" greater than the thickness of your gate. If you are using the optional Back Plates (#8305-BP), then your carriage bolts need to be 1-1/2" greater than the thickness of your gate. Carriage bolt packs are shown in the PARTS FOR THIS PRODUCT section below.

All gates will require two Hinges per gate leaf. Only use three hinges per leaf if the gate is over 8'H.

If you are building a double gate, then you will need a minimum of one cane bolt/drop rod to prevent damage to your hardware and/or gate. Use two cane bolts/drop rods if you will need to hold both gate leafs open.

Customer Photo - Custom Decorative Gate using Snug Cottage Hardware

Awesome picture from a customer in Canada, of a custom decorative gate using Snug Cottage hardware. The gate is hung using two 24" Heavy Duty Black Cranked Band Hinges (8305-24P) attached to Mounting Plates with 6" Adjustable Pins (8256-34P) To latch the gate, they used the Irish Gate Latch (8328-00SP).

Customer Photo - Solid Dog Ear Wood Gates Hung on 4x4 Steel Posts Using Snug Cottage Hardware

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).

Customer Photos - Custom Wood Interior Door Using Snug Cottage Gate Hinges - Avery, Idaho

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!

Exceeded expectations 5 out of 5 stars

Reviewer: A viewer from Oregon

The heavy duty hinges and hardware far exceeded my expectations. Stout. Solid, Built to last.

Ordering was easy 5 out of 5 stars

Reviewer: A viewer from Nevada

Ordering was easy. I called and spoke with a very knowledgeable associate. She forwarded me to another person who was kind enough to retrieve an item from stock, and provide the measurements I needed to finish making a decision on which strap hinge to purchase. The hinges are super duty to say the least. They arrived in a single box (heavy), individually wrapped in paper to prevent clanging and scratches during shipment. The hinges I purchased are galvanized steel, so scratches would not have mattered really, but I was completely impressed that someone took such care. Thank you!
