  • Quality Hinges
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 3-1/2 Inch Style: Updated Packaging
I bought three of these for a new gate I was building and decided I was going to need one more after I placed this order. I purchased the extra hinge at HD at a few dollars less than I paid for these. Same hinge, same maker, same quality. The hinges installed easily and are perfect for the heavy gate I made. I would buy, use and recommend them but, honestly would just buy them locally. ... show more

  • Decent value
Color: Stainless Steel Size: 3-1/2 Inch Style: Updated Packaging
I always think it is low-class to sell stainless steel products without stating the grade of SS. That's helpful to know for most anyone needing stainless steel. By the lack of information and the price, I think it's safe to assume these are 304 grade. Also, not crazy about the 1" screws they include; too short. Since I was hanging a gate I replaced the 1" screws with #9 3" stainless screws. All that being said, these hinges are fine for a fence gate at the coast....until they eventually rust...which they will. ... show more

Installed 3 on my heavy wooden fence gate (way over described specs) and works good so far. We will see the test of time though.
