Tee Hinges

Tee hinges (T-hinges) are one of the most common choices for gates, shed doors, garage doors and outdoor timber frames across the UK. The flat strap design spreads load evenly across the door or gate stile, giving a strong, reliable pivot for everyday use — from garden projects to trade installations.

What are tee hinges used for?

Tee hinges suit any outward- or inward-opening timber door where you need a simple, robust hinge with good fixing area. Typical UK applications include:

Garden gates and side entrances
Shed and outbuilding doors
Garage and barn-style doors
Fencing access panels and yard gates
Workshop, stable and agricultural timber doors

Our light-duty tee hinges are supplied as pairs in popular imperial sizes from 4 inch to 12 inch, with zinc-plated and black zinc finishes for corrosion resistance outdoors.

Choosing the right tee hinge size

Size the hinge to the width and weight of the door. As a general guide for light timber doors and gates:

4–6 inch — small shed doors, narrow gates and light panels
8–10 inch — standard garden gates and medium shed doors
12 inch — wider or heavier gates and double-door setups

Fix with suitable wood screws — pre-drill hardwood and use corrosion-resistant screws for outdoor work. For larger or heavier doors, see our hook & band hinges.

Zinc & black tee hinges

Choose from:

Zinc-plated tee hinges — bright finish, cost-effective for gates and sheds
Black zinc tee hinges — discreet finish that suits painted timber and modern garden gates

Both finishes offer good protection for typical UK outdoor conditions when fitted correctly.
