Our History
Why such an importance on hinges? Because, they are the foundation of a good gate system. If you have a automatic gate at a gated community with 150 residents, the average gate action per day will be around 4 times per home (more for an apartment) or 600 times a day. That calculates to 219,000 times the gate will open and close in a year. Do the math on your gate system and then decide how important that hinge is. You better have a good hinge to handle that activity or you are just asking for problems. We want you to make an informed decision about your hinges and not use just a cheap barrel hinge that you will be replacing in short order. And, we also want you to know that you can have full trust and confidence in the Guardian Hinge. Absolutely Guaranteed Satisfaction. We are so thankful and appreciative for the dealers and distributors who have recognized the quality of the Guardian Hinge and have made our products so successful. Thank you. |
GUARDIAN GATE HARDWARE began manufacturing hinges and gate hardware in the mid 1980's. From its onset, the company earned an outstanding reputation for quality products that were well engineered. Our flagship product was the Guardian Hinge. Designed and engineered with unique qualities that carried the weight of the gate differently and more effectively than any other hinge on the market. The claim to fame was that it just didn't wear out and it worked marvelously even under severe conditions. What sets it apart is that our Model 2000 hinge has a weight bearing surface of almost five (5) times that of the closest competitive hinge. Plus, we offer the largest surface attachment to both the gate and the post or jamb which makes for better weight distribution. To top that, it is the only hinge on the market that has a full lubrication cavity that keeps our hardened roller bearing fully lubricated. That is why we offer our Limited Life Time Warranty.
And, that is the reason it is now the most specified hinge for heavy duty gates by architects and engineers nationwide. For prisons, heavy gates in industry, education, government, military, businesses, apartments, private estates and community gates the Guardian Hinge is the hinge of choice when you want a quality gate system.
