National Mfg N131-375 Gate Pintle 1/2 Inch Zinc

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N131-375 is a zinc-plated gate pintle designed for heavy-duty gate and door hardware applications. Manufactured from hot rolled steel with a zinc finish, this 1/2-inch pintle provides a sturdy pivot point that allows the gate to be easily lifted off without disassembling the hinge hardware. It is punched to accept a 5/16-inch bolt in 1/2-inch size applications or a 3/8-inch bolt in 5/8-inch size applications. Installation is straightforward for fencing contractors, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working on residential or commercial gate projects.

This gate pintle is specifically designed for use with 294 series hinge straps, making it a direct companion component in standard gate hinge assemblies. It is well suited for wood or metal gates on residential fences, farm gates, and utility enclosures where a removable gate hang is required. The heavy-duty construction supports gates and doors in high-cycle or high-load environments. This SKU ships as a package of 10 pintles, making it practical for multi-gate projects or stocking purposes.

Installation Notes

Gate pintles are typically installed by fencing contractors or general tradespeople using standard hand tools. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and that fasteners are torqued to the post or frame manufacturer specifications before hanging the gate. Power down any automated gate operators before servicing hinge hardware. Verify bolt size matches the punched hole specification before installation to ensure a secure fit.
