National Hardware N129-213 T Hinge 8 Inch Steel Black 2-pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N129-213 is a steel T hinge designed for heavy-duty door, gate, and shutter applications. With an 8-inch strap length and a 60-pound load capacity, it provides reliable pivot support in demanding installations. The hinge features a 1/8-inch leaf thickness, a pin diameter of 0.388 inches, and a black finish that resists corrosion while maintaining a clean, finished appearance. Each package contains two hinges. Carpenters, contractors, and general tradespeople install this hinge on outswing gates, barn doors, cabinet doors, and utility panels where a traditional strap-style pivot point is required.

This T hinge suits residential and light commercial applications including wood gates, fence panels, garden doors, and shed enclosures. The dual-hand design accommodates both left- and right-hand mounting without requiring additional hardware. With 8 mounting holes per hinge and a pad length of 5.5 inches, the N129-213 distributes load across a wide surface area, making it appropriate for heavier door assemblies. The black finish blends with painted or powder-coated metalwork common in exterior gate and fence installations.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or skilled tradespeople using standard hand tools and wood screws or bolts appropriate for the substrate. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the intended load before fastening. When installing on exterior gates or fence panels, use fasteners rated for exterior or pressure-treated lumber contact to prevent galvanic corrosion. Confirm door or gate weight does not exceed the combined load capacity of all hinges used in the assembly.
