Bolt On Hinges Vs. Weld On Hinges

  Convenience is important. So is appearance. Once a hinge is welded on it may need a touch up with a grinder to make it look good, then it should ideally be primed, then painted to prevent rust. The fact is that no matter how many times a business owner tells his crew to follow all the steps, we all know that the easiest one to skip is also probably the most important. Crews consistently cut corners by skipping the primer. A quick coat of finish paint and you can almost hear what's going through their mind,

“Looks good from my house!” We also know that the paint will fail quickly, leaving your company name on a rusty gate.

Even if the primer and paint are done right, the resulting finish is rarely better than an obvious patch job on the factory powder coat or e-coated paint. MFT's color matched bolts and screws eliminate the need for touch up paint, giving you a better looking, long lasting protective finish.
