Hook & Band Hinges
Hook and band hinges (hook & band hinges) are the go-to choice for heavy timber gates, driveway entrances, farm gates and wide outdoor doors across the UK. The hook-and-band design lets the gate lift off the pins for easy removal — ideal for field gates, yard entrances and anywhere you need a strong hinge with straightforward maintenance.
What are hook & band hinges used for?
Straight-pattern hook and band hinges suit gates and doors hung from a timber post or frame. Common UK applications include:
- Driveway and entrance gates
- Agricultural and farm gates
- Equestrian yard and stable gates
- Commercial yard and industrial timber gates
- Large garden gates and double-leaf setups
Our range includes pairs of straight band & hook-on plates in lengths from 250mm to 900mm, in black and hot-dipped galvanized finishes for outdoor durability.
Hook & band vs tee hinges
For lighter shed doors and small garden gates, see our tee hinges in 4–12 inch sizes. Hook and band hinges are better when the gate is wider, heavier or subject to daily use — the long band spreads load along the gate stile and the hook-on design allows the gate to be lifted off without unscrewing the plates.
Choosing the right band length
Match band length to gate width and weight. As a general guide:
- 250–350mm — narrow gates and lighter timber doors
- 450–600mm — standard garden and yard gates
- 750–900mm — wide driveway gates, farm gates and heavy timber
Fix with heavy-duty wood screws or coach screws into solid timber posts. Pair with a gate latch or lock to complete the installation.
Black & galvanized finishes
- Black hook & band hinges — smart finish for painted gates, domestic entrances and yard doors
- Hot-dipped galvanized — maximum corrosion resistance for exposed rural, coastal and high-moisture sites
