A tee hinge, also known as a T-hinge or strap hinge, is a type of hardware commonly used to hang gates, doors, and other heavy objects. Its name derives from its shape, resembling the letter “T” when fully installed. Tee hinges consist of two parts: one plate with a long arm attached to the gate or door frame, and the other plate with a shorter arm attached to the gate or door itself. This design provides stability and support, allowing for smooth swinging motion. Tee hinges are typically made from durable materials like steel, wrought iron, or stainless steel, ensuring longevity and strength. They come in various sizes and finishes to accommodate different applications and aesthetic preferences. Tee hinges are popular for their robust construction and versatility, making them suitable for both residential and commercial use.
