NATIONAL HEAVY STRAP HINGE, ZINC PLATED - 5"National Hardware heavy-duty strap hinge in zinc-plated steel for barn doors, shed doors, storage bin lids, gates, and other utility-door hinge work. Offset screw-hole pattern spreads the fastener load and reduces wood splitting at the mount. Tight non-removable pin lets the hinge mount in either a left- or right-hand orientation.

Use case. Typical shed or playhouse door, mid-size storage bin lid, lightweight garden gate.
Tip: space hinges along the door height in proportion to door weight - a typical shed door takes two hinges in the upper third and one at the bottom; tall gates and barn doors take three or four spaced evenly. Drive #10 or #12 wood screws long enough to bite into solid framing behind the door skin, not just the skin itself, or the hinge will sag over time.
