Designed for the biggest jobs and boldest builds, our Plain Straight Iron XL Functioning Hinge Strap delivers unmatched strength and durability in a clean, straightforward design. Ranging from 32" to 60" in length, this extra-large hinge strap is hand-forged to handle extreme heavy duty applications like drive gates, garage doors, carriage house doors, shop entrances, and oversized barn doors.
The squared, utilitarian form is deceptively simple—free of ornamentation but rich in craftsmanship. Every hinge is forged for load bearing and weight bearing support, making it a key component in any project requiring long-lasting structural integrity and visual presence.
Choose from multiple hinge types including barrel, low barrel, butt, mortise, reverse mortise, or pintle, and customize for left-swing, right-swing, or double-swing operation. As part of our heavy duty gate hardware line, each strap can be finished in any of our signature patinas and textures to suit the architectural style of your build—from rustic cabin to industrial estate.
Made to order in our Idaho forge, this XL iron strap hinge is more than hardware—it’s a statement of strength, simplicity, and skilled American blacksmithing.

I'm planning to build a garden gate ( single door @ 48" wide by 80" tall, weighing @ 70 lbs ) and a driveway gate, ( two doors, @ 60" wide by 80" tall, weighing from 100-125 lbs each ). I plan on 3 hinges for each door. I don't want to have to use a support wheel on the large doors, so will be looking for a heavy duty hinge for that plan. Do you have any hinges in stock that will carry these loads comfortably? If custom designs are required, can we send you details and have something fabricated? What would be the better approach for the projects as described? Thank you,

Hi Doug. We don't carry many items in stock, typically everything is made or to order. Please look through our functioning hinge straps and choose the design you like. From there you can customize it from length, type of hinge, direction, etc. If you need help, we are happy to assist over the phone or email during business hours. When ordering online, please include the approximate gate weight so we can be sure the hinge will hold it.
