Architectural metal and woodwork
in Vaughan, ON
We required heavy-duty weldable gate hinges with a mechanical self-closing function for a pool gate, ensuring it remains securely closed.
The gate measures 2¼” thick, the jamb 2” thick, and the door leaf weight is approximately 450 lbs. The requested finish is satin stainless steel.
Recommended Weldable Gate Hinges
for Pool Gate
To meet the project’s requirements, we recommend two weldable mechanical gate hinge options suitable for a 2¼" thick, 450 lbs exterior pool gate:
K51MP-500D-5 or K51P-500-5.
Our standard four-hinge sets support 330–440 lbs, depending on hinge configuration. Since this gate is 450 lbs, we provided a customized five-hinge set to meet the required capacity.
Waterson can adjust the hinge configuration to match your exact specifications!
