Hooks and bands are essential hardware components in the wood industry, particularly for gates and doors. Let’s explore their features:

Hook and Band Hinges:
Composition: These hinges consist of two parts: the hook (attached to the gate post) and the band (attached to the gate itself).
Functionality: Hook and band hinges allow gates to swing a full 180 degrees (depending on mounting), making them ideal for gates that need to open wide.
Application: They are popular for heavy-duty gates, such as those used for driveways or estates.
Sizing: The hinge size should be approximately one-third of the gate width. For example, a 6ft-wide gate would require a pair of 2ft hook and band hinges
