When Should I Use Rising Gate Hinges?

Rising gate hinges are a practical solution for gates installed on uneven or sloping terrain. These hinges are designed to lift the gate as it opens, preventing it from dragging along the ground. Here’s a guide on when to use rising gate hinges and the benefits they offer:

1. Sloping or Uneven Ground

When your gate is installed on ground that slopes, using standard hinges might cause the gate to drag along the ground, leading to wear and tear. Rising Gate Hinges are ideal for these situations as they lift the gate upwards when it opens, allowing for smooth operation even on uneven surfaces.

• Prevents gate from scraping on sloped ground.
• Ideal for gates on driveways with elevation changes.
• Reduces wear and tear on the gate and hinges.

2. Self-Closing Gates

Rising hinges are not just for supporting heavy gates or dealing with uneven terrain—they also serve as an excellent mechanism for self-closing gates. When the gate opens, the rising hinge lifts the gate slightly, and gravity pulls it closed naturally as it lowers. This automatic closing feature can improve security and convenience, especially in busy environments or properties where gates should remain closed without manual intervention.

• Automatically closes the gate after opening.
• Ideal for gates where security is important.
• Less wear and tear from consistent manual closing.

3. Gates with Limited Ground Clearance

If your gate is installed in an area with limited ground clearance, rising gate hinges can help by lifting the gate upwards as it opens. This is especially useful for swing gates in areas with gravel driveways or rough terrain. The 2-Way Gate Hinge (182mm) is a great choice for gates that need to rise as they swing open.

• Perfect for gravel or uneven driveways.
• Prevents the gate from scraping the ground.
• Easy to install and provides long-lasting performance.

Conclusion

Rising gate hinges are essential for gates installed on sloping ground or where clearance is an issue. They help prevent damage and ensure smooth operation, especially for heavy or oversized gates. Whether you choose the Rising Hinge Two-Way Set or the 2-Way Gate Hinge, both options provide durable solutions for gates that require added functionality and protection.
