Our Heavy Duty Cranked Strap Hinge Set includes two of our Cranked Strap Hinges and two matching mounting plates with 6" adjustable pins. This hardware set ensures a secure installation and provides full lateral adjustment to help prevent sagging over the years. The minimum gate gap is 1/2" between the gate frame and gate post. This hardware set is ideal for double driveway entrance gates, rail gates, and dumpster enclosure gates that are built with variable thickness. 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 kits in two finishes (Galvanized and Black BPPCG) and in four sizes: the 12" kits that are designed for gate leafs up to 4' wide; the 18" kits that are designed for gate leafs up to 7' wide; and the 24" and 36" kits that are designed for gate leafs up to 10' wide. Order one set 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, keeping both the gate and the post flush on the same plane. This hinge set is designed to be through-bolted, which helps to lock your corners at 90° and to prevent the gate from sagging.
Heavy Duty Cranked Strap Hinge Hardware Set (8305-S) Features:Ordering Notes:
Carriage bolts for this hinge set 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. Each mounting plate requires five 3/8" carriage bolts.
Optional Back Plates are available for the hinge and the mounting plates, 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 length of your post and thickness of your gate. If you are using the optional Back Plates (#8256-BP/#8305-BP), then your carriage bolts need to be 1-1/2" greater than the length of your post or thickness of your gate. Back Plates and 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.

Here are some great pictures from our customer Brad over in Bellevue, Ohio, showcasing some very nice board on board gates built by Brad, and installed using our wood gate hardware. To hang the gate, we are pleased that Brad chose the high quality Snug Cottage Hardware 18" Heavy Duty Cranked Strap Hinge Hardware Sets (8305-S18P). The installation looks great Brad, Thank you for the pictures!
Customer Comments:
"Hello Mr. Locher,
I have attached several pictures of my gate project. I custom made these two gates to match the rest of the fence I built. These hinges are a bit overbuild for my need, but that's how I like to build things. That, and I was drawn to these hinges while researching and pondering which to get. I'm very glad I made the decision to purchase them. Please feel free to use any/all these pictures as a means to show others."

So during these times with Covid-19, I found that Hoover Fence Co. service and quick delivery using UPS was outstanding. Wanted to build a double gate that would stand up to the test of time with strong quality parts. I found those parts at Hoover Fence. Thanks for the great service, parts, selection and quick delivery....
Great products and super quick shipping, thank you!

The wood fence gate hardware was exactly as advertised and make the gate look very professional.
