Chain Link Fence Gate Bulldog Hinge - Black

Color Coated Bulldog Chain Link Hinges for round posts are an economical alternative to standard box/butt hinges. Two are required for most single chain link gates, four are required for most double gates. Consider using three Bulldog hinges on gates which are taller than 8' high, or heavy. These chain link hinges will fit 1-5/8" O.D. and 2" O.D. gate tubing uprights simply by moving the collar on hinge. Hinges are very easy to install and may be used on gates which are automated. The larger portion of the hinge shown with U-Bolt simply bolts around the gate post. The smaller portion, or collar, wraps around gate upright. The collar does not fit snug around gate upright, therefore allowing the gate upright to pivot freely. The hinge must be positioned so that one of the horizontal rails rests on the collar. You may bolt hinges just below the top horizontal rail, or build your gates so that they have a longer leg on one side to slide into the Bulldog hinge.

These hinges allow for a 90 degree swivel in either direction. To allow hinges to swing a full 180°, you will need one 180° hinge adapter per hinge. 180° adapters are easy to install. The U-bolts bolt around gate frame, 1-5/8" or 2", and the 'leg' portion simply slides into butt hinge.
