Functionality of the gate is based not only on their reliable locking, retention of power loads and strength, but also convenient opening / closing. Ideally, the last two characteristics, as well as the absence of gaps between closed gates, are achieved with the help of qualitatively welded loops. Anyone who knows how to use electric manual arc welding will be able to weld high-quality hinges to the gate if they know how to do it correctly.
How to weld the hinges on the
gate Opening and closing the gate without squeaks and jerks is the best thing that can be given by the correct installation of the hinges. How to achieve this? First, choose the correct way to install the hinges for a particular material of the gate and pillars. Gates made of metal, wooden, made of profiled or polycarbonate, metal posts, wooden, concrete, foam concrete, of brick, stone or cinder block: in any case, the choice of hinges will be best ball. In the cavities of such loops are balls, which greatly facilitate the course of the gate.
To begin with, it is necessary to inquire how the hinges on the gates work in pairs: on one gate, both hinges should be on the mental line of the straight line. That is, after finishing the qualitative work, the lower loop should be exactly under the top, and both loops should have an even axial arrangement in space. With such a welding of the hinges, the load of the weight of the door will be distributed evenly to the hanging supports.
Getting started
The cylindrical shape of the loops often makes inexperienced welders wonder: "Is it even brewed?"Brewed. The loops made of hexahedron or tetrahedron are actually harder to brew. According to the correct technology, the hinges are welded to special plastics for the beginning. It is desirable to do this on a flat horizontal surface, for example, on the anvil( along with it you can attach a "minus" welding machine).An indispensable requirement: weld the platics to the hinges with a solid seam.
It is not difficult to find a suitable size plate. We take into account the weight of the gate and the strength of the material from which they are made and determined by eye, the welding seam of what length can withstand weight and not allow the door structure to deform. Platikov organizes a convenient working "platform" for welding, as well as they serve as distribution plates for the gates, which does not allow the latter to "burst" even with the overall weight of the gantry structure.
Door installation
To weld the hinges with already welded platics, it is necessary to permanently install the gate into the "home window".That is, the gate will have to be fixed "idle" and reach their required position even before welding. The position of the doors must be checked and rechecked as many times as the average first-grader knows numbers-at least ten.
Welding Work After a thorough check of the gate location, the previously measured and marked fields for the plates, you can start welding operations from the lower loops on the poles. Vertical seams are the hardest job for a welder. But thanks to the plates, even an inexperienced welder can handle them. When one bayonet part of the hinge on the leaf is welded, it will be possible to use the laser level to verify the correct position of its axis and to determine the exact location of the second bayonet loop.

loops. Completion of
. After careful welding of the bayonet parts of the loops on the pole, they will need to be pasted into the upper parts of the loops immediately with the balls. Then, as closely as possible, press the baited part to the door leaf and continue the welding work.
After welding, the seams can be processed with a Bulgarian.
This technology has long been used successfully by all door installation services. Do it yourself will not be difficult if there are skills in welding and the necessary equipment with consumables:
- Metal door hinges;
- Plates / plastics;
- Welding machine;
- Electrodes;
- Locksmith;
- Welding mask, mittens and overalls;
- Bulgarian.
