Need strap hinges
I need help finding a good source for strap hinges. I've scoured the
local hareware stores and Internet sites but haven't found what I need. I'm looking for iron strap hinges that can be mounted (as center mounts) on pintles to brick columns. I need pintles that are mounted to metal plates that can be anchored against the column. Most of the strap hinges I've seen have either flush mount, screw-in or drive-in pintles. I've found some ironworker folks who can make what I need, but at a steep price. Anybody know where I can find these types of hinges/pintles? |

I have no idea what a pintel is so I'm not sure what you are looking for. Vandykes has some groovy looking repro type strap hinges. Here are a few examples. Do these have pintels? I know my pintel is a bit long but please don't step on it. http://www.vandykes.com/product/02004889/ http://www.vandykes.com/product/02008266/ http://www.vandykes.com/product/02010611/ Not suggesting these as a solution to the OP's problem but here's some pictures of pintles and their matching parts, gudgeons. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

You'll find them as marine supplies so either aluminum or stainless for the most part, but you should find something that will do the job for you. If I understand you correctly you're looking for something like the stuff about halfway down http://www.apsltd.com/Tree/d3000/e727.asp only in iron instead of aluminum. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Thought pintles were widely known. My bad! Partly explains why I'm
having such trouble finding them. Here's a pic of pintles: http://www.horton-brasses.com/produc...intlehinges/64. The one I need is similar to #HF-38 in this pic...only larger. I need a 7-8" mounting plate with larger holes to accomodate 3/8 anchor bolts. |

spake: Thought pintles were widely known. My bad! Partly explains why I'm having such trouble finding them. They are, but only on trailers. http://www.trailer-parts-forless.com...ntle_Hooks.htm Here's a pic of pintles: http://www.horton-brasses.com/produc...intlehinges/64. The one I need is similar to #HF-38 in this pic...only larger. I need a 7-8" mounting plate with larger holes to accomodate 3/8 anchor bolts. Google for "lift-off hinges" or "separating hinges", or "gate hinges", 88. Can't those be drilled out? It's only iron; cuts like cheese. P.S: Don't try using a brad point to drill 'em, though. -- Don't forget the 7 P's: Proper Prior Planning Prevents ****-Poor Performance ---------------------------------------------------- http://diversify.com Website Application Programming |
