A gate frame hinge is the female (receiver) part of a chain link gate hinge assembly. It mounts on the gate frame and has a pin hole that accepts the male pin from the post-mounted hinge, creating the pivot point for the gate swing.

The gate frame hinge (female) mounts to the gate frame and has a receiver hole for the pin. The gate post hinge (male) mounts to the fence post and has the protruding pin. Together they create the complete hinge assembly.

Gate frame hinges are sized by the gate frame outside diameter. Common sizes are 1-3/8, 1-5/8, and 1-7/8 inch. Measure the outside diameter of your gate frame tube before selecting a hinge.

This gate frame hinge accepts a standard 5/8 inch hinge pin, compatible with the male pin on standard residential and commercial chain link gate post hinges.

Clamp the hinge body to the gate frame tube using the included U-bolt and nut. Position the hinge at the correct height to align with the post hinge pin, then tighten the U-bolt until the hinge is firmly secured.

Yes, provided the pin diameter matches (standard is 5/8 inch) and the frame and post OD sizes are correct. Always confirm pin diameter compatibility when mixing components.

Use 2 gate frame hinges per standard single-swing gate, one near the top and one near the bottom of the gate frame. Pair each frame hinge with one matching post hinge.

Our gate frame hinges are manufactured from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor installation in all weather conditions.

Yes. Loosen the U-bolt, slide the hinge to the new position on the gate frame, and retighten. Adjust before loading the gate onto the post hinges for easiest repositioning.

Hinge wear is caused by continuous friction between the hinge receiver and the post hinge pin. High-cycle use and heavy gate weight accelerate wear. Lubricate the hinge pin with grease annually to extend service life.
