T Hinges

T Hinges feature an extended leaf that spreads weight across a larger area, providing sturdier support for surface-mounted doors and gates.

At Hinge Outlet, you’ll find T Hinges built for light-, standard-, and heavy-duty projects in several materials and finishes, including stainless steel, galvanized, and black.

  • Standard T Hinges: Reliable performance for lightweight gates, sheds, garage doors, and other moderate-use doors.

  • Heavy-Duty T Hinges: Built for larger, heavier gates and exterior doors that need extra support.

  • Decorative T Hinges: Styled options for farmhouse, carriage house, rustic, or restoration projects.

  • Marine/Corrosion-Resistant T Hinges: Made from high-grade stainless steel for humid, coastal, or wet environments.

 

Buying Guide

 

  1. Door/Gate Size & Weight: Heavier or larger panels need longer leaves and thicker steel.

  2. Material & Finish: Marine-grade stainless steel and galvanized finishes resist moisture; black finish and steel construction are both stylistic and strong.

  3. Hinge Use: Choose standard models for sheds and garden gates; heavy-duty or corrosion-resistant options for oversized doors and weather-exposed gates.

  4. Mounting Needs: The strength of your frame or post matters. Heavier doors and gates require installation into a solid structure for proper support.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a T Hinge and a standard hinge?

The difference between a T hinge and a standard hinge is that a T hinge’s extended leaf provides better, more stable support for wider or heavier doors than standard butt hinges.

2. How much weight can a T hinge hold?

How much weight a T hinge can hold depends on its size, material, and duty rating. A 10” heavy-duty steel T hinge can support up to 150 pounds, while a 4” decorative T hinge can support up to 23 pounds.
