32mm Cranked Steel Backflap Hinges – BZP/Galvanised

These 32mm cranked backflap hinges provide a practical surface-mounted fixing for gates, shed doors, boxes and timber joinery. The cranked profile offsets the hinge leaves, helping adjoining surfaces sit in the required position when a standard flat backflap hinge would not provide suitable alignment.

Manufactured from steel with a BZP/galvanised finish, these compact hinges have a protective zinc-coated surface suitable for general joinery applications. This listing contains one pair of hinges.

Product Specifications

Why Choose a Cranked Backflap Hinge?

The offset formed by the cranked leaves can help position adjoining components where a standard flat hinge would leave them incorrectly aligned. The broad leaves are fixed directly onto the surface, avoiding the need to cut a conventional hinge recess.

Installation Guidance

1. Check that the cranked profile provides the required offset before drilling.
2. Position both hinges with their leaves sitting flat against the fixing surfaces.
3. Mark the fixing holes accurately and drill suitable pilot holes.
4. Secure the hinges using screws appropriate for the substrate and application.
5. Check alignment and free movement before fully tightening every fixing.

Fixing screws are not stated as included. Select suitable screws for the material, fixing-hole size and intended environment.

What is the hinge made from?

It is manufactured from steel with a BZP/galvanised protective finish.

Where can these hinges be used?

They are suitable for gates, shed doors, boxes and general timber joinery where a compact cranked surface-mounted hinge is required.

Are fixing screws included?

Fixing screws are not stated as included. Choose screws suited to the substrate and intended application.

Are these hinges maintenance-free?
