Galvanized hinge bolts are heavy-duty fasteners used primarily in gate and door systems, especially in outdoor environments like chain link fencing. Here's where they’re typically used:
- Entry Doors: Provide strength and security, especially with heavy or exterior doors.
- Interior Doors: Ensure smooth swinging and alignment.
- Cabinetry & Furniture: Used with concealed or decorative hinges for aesthetic and functional support.
- Some industrial systems use a hinge bolt to make chain links adjustable or replaceable without needing to remove the entire chain.
- When a chain link or mechanism requires a swinging or pivot motion, a hinge bolt is used to maintain alignment and allow movement.
- In some applications, hinge bolts are shear bolts that break under overload, protecting other components.
