Why We Do What We Do Vol 1, Issue 3

Bolt On Hinges Vs. Weld On Hinges

Reason C. Whether damaged by the lack of a gate stop, allowing the gate to swing backwards through the opening, or by a vehicle, vandal, or just plain wear and tear, hinges need to be replaced from time to time. Cutting and welding on new hinges in the field means dealing with reasons A and B again. Using Modern Fence Technologies bolt on hinges means not only getting the replacement hinge for free under our warranty, it also means quick, hassle free replacement.

Modern Fence Technologies includes with every hinge the right fasteners for your gate system. These screws or bolts are matched for strength and material performance to the demands of the hinge you are using. We offer stainless steel screws as well as galvanized tek screws and carriage bolts, depending on the type of hinge and your preference, all coated to match the hinges and protect them from corrosion.



If your crew member can operate a cordless drill or impact driver, installing MFT hinges properly is a straightforward operation. Once installed, the hinges are complete, with no need for touch up grinding or painting, and the factory powder coat finish is intact to protect the strength and appearance of the hinge and gate for years to come.

When the time comes to repair a gate with MFT hinges, the removable hinge pin design also makes mounting and dismounting the gate simple, and if the hinge needs to be replaced, the installer can quickly install the replacement hinges with the new screws provided.
