Vibration/Noise from Metal Gate Hinge
Next door have an ironwork gate between their house and ours. The
hinges are mounted on our wall - (brick built). When they slam the gate there is an awful clang, rattle and vibration. I am thinking of volunteering to seat the hinge brackets on some flexible vibration/noise absorbent material - foam rubber or the like. Do people think it will make any difference? - if so what material would you suggest? -- PeteR |

Experiment with a few of these to see what works best. It might help in the long run to remove the gate and re-fix on 3" wooden posts.

You could mount it on a solid rubber block, such that the gate hinge fixing was separated from the fixing of the block to the wall. The biggest difference you could make would be to add a rubber cushion of some sort to the gates closure to prevent the clang as it closes. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
