Dark Bronze 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Heavy Duty Template Hinges with Button Tip
(Sold as Set of 3)
A set of three beautiful dark bronze hinges to hang one wooden gate or door. The template hinge is identical in all ways to our other Dark Bronze Heavy Duty Butt Hinges, except they are not cast so the surface is smooth.
Fasteners are included. #12 x 1-1/4" size (This hinge is provided with 1-1/4" long screws. You may want to substitute your own longer screws to grab deeper into the wood. The spec to ask for at the hardware store is #12 made of 18-8 stainless x whatever length you need.)
This hinge can be installed directly to the surface edge of the gate and edge of the post, or can be mortised for a more finished look. For surface-mounted installations, allow a 5/16" gap between edge of gate and post. For mortise installations, allow a 1/16" to 1/8" gap between edge of gate and post.

About This Bronze Hardware:
This bronze hardware contains 90% copper and 10% tin. When it first leaves the mold, the hardware is copper-penny colored. Next, the pieces are patina’d dark bronze. Finally, the hardware has an exterior-grade dark bronze-colored wax applied to it that adds to its weather- and wear-resistance. Bronze ages gracefully and may change in appearance due to varying environmental conditions. The wax helps maintain the color of the hardware for the long term under most conditions. On items like gate latches and door handles where your hand comes in contact with the material regularly: we’ve seen over time that the oils on your skin will slowly wear down the wax where the skin contacts the metal. On all other items where skin doesn’t come in contact with the hardware, you should see dark bronze coloration for the long term.
How does this hardware hold up to the elements?
When submitted to a salt-water chamber test, this hardware began to patina at the 16-hour-mark, versus 10-hours for other name-brand, high end bronze products. A client recently wrote that this hardware installed on an waterfront boathouse two years ago looks slightly darker and shinier than the original, but looks otherwise exceptional.
The bottom line is: this hardware is the perfect choice for oceanfront, waterfront, and coastal installations.

Coastal Bronze warrants all locking goods, including locks, latches and deadbolts, to be free of defects in material and craftsmanship for 1 year from the original invoice date.
