Flat-Back Hinge – Pressed Steel

Flat-back hinges are a type of male hinge used in tandem with female frame hinges to enable gates to swing freely. The specialized design of flat-back hinges enable them to be fastened directly into walls or flat surfaces. From there a frame hinge is affixed and connected to the framework of the gate and slotted onto the male hinge post, allowing it to open and close. Most gates require two sets of male and female hinges to function properly. This is the most common way of creating gates for residential fencing.

Flat-back hinges are made from factory pressed steel and given a zinc based galvanized coating. This makes the component very resistant to rust and corrosion, in addition to providing protection against all but the most severe of temperature and weather conditions.
