A gate serves as the interface of your facility. It controls access to a specific area, such as a passage, an entrance, or a doorway. Although most people only focus on the aesthetic appeal or the security requirements of this gate, they rarely think of hinges that support them. The gates may all look the same, whether at your home, office, commercial or industrial facilities. However, the difference lies in the standard and heavy-duty construction of these hinges. As the name suggests, the standard hinges can support light duty gates used in homes or other areas whereas heavy-duty hinges are custom-designed to support the gates in commercial and industrial facilities where high traffic can be a concern. Having known this, you may have several questions regarding these heavy-duty hinges, their types, benefits, and so on. If so, this post discusses the same and more.
