At one point or another you are going to have to change your gate hinges, locks and springs that have rusted or broken overtime. Even though this can be an easy task, it can be time consuming if you are unsure about what type of tools to use and what type of materials to buy and install. As well as the problem of rust.
However, no need to fear, if you have never replaced or installed a hinge, latch or gate spring, our experienced team can come and do it for you.
We use the right materials to decrease rust
Every metal starts to rust eventually, however, depending on what type of lock, spring or hinge you install determines how often you will have to replace the item.
Rust develops faster on metals placed in moist areas with high humidity in the air (above 60 %), acid rain, salt water or salt air. As you know, Auckland can be a very moist city during winter, as it rains a lot. This means if you use a lock that is made out of the wrong metal, the lock or item will rust quickly and you will have to replace the item more often.
Yes, there are some methods you can try which remove rust from an old hinge or latch; however, it isn’t an easy task and you are not guaranteed that all the rust will come off of the metal item.
That’s why our team uses galvanized locks, hinges and springs that last between 70-85 years until they need maintenance.
This is due to the fact that galvanized locks are coated in a zinc coating, which prevents rust from forming on the metal and is corrosion resistant.
