National Mfg N100-053 Spear Tee Hinge 13 Inches Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N100-053 is a 13-inch black spear extra heavy duty decorative tee hinge designed for demanding gate, door, and barn-style applications. Built with a bearing design that eliminates metal-to-metal contact, the hinge delivers smooth, quiet operation under heavy load. The spear-tip styling provides a traditional decorative appearance while maintaining the structural performance required for heavy panel work. This hinge is intended for installation by carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working on exterior or interior projects where both strength and aesthetics matter.

This hinge is well suited for use on garden gates, barn doors, shed doors, and large decorative entry panels in residential and light commercial settings. Its extra heavy duty rating makes it appropriate for heavier door and gate assemblies where standard hinges would deflect or wear prematurely. The black finish provides a classic wrought-iron look that complements traditional and farmhouse-style hardware schemes. Each package contains 5 hinges, making it practical for multi-hinge installations on larger panels or gates.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or general contractors using standard hand tools and fasteners appropriate for the substrate material. Always ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the full load of the door or gate before fastening. Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended to prevent wood splitting and to ensure proper fastener seating. Follow all applicable local building codes for gate and door hardware installation.
