Long, narrow, wrought iron straps for pintle hinges, these were common in New England. The HF-40 straps we keep in stock fit doors approximately 36" wide and are suitable for interior or exterior applications.

Why use Horton's forge iron? Please visit our blog to learn about how we make it.

Our iron is hand forged in the traditional manner. The black color comes from heat and oil. If used outdoors iron will rust. If you are using any hand forged iron outside, please see our care and maintenance page here. You can choose to let the iron rust, wax or oil it, or paint it. We are are happy to paint the iron for you, just let us know when you order; either on the phone or in the comments section of our order form.

John, our catalog photographer, recently finished his barn with our strap hinges and chose to let it age naturally. You can see what it looks like here.

Why choose one style over another? Installations vary and sometimes special situations apply. Driven pintles are used in stone, masonry or very period restorations. Jamb pintles are mortised into the door jamb and are very common today; as well as simpler to install. Surface mounted pintles can be used anywhere, and are especially valuable for shutters and situations where face mounting is essential.

	HF-37	jamb-mounted pintle
	$87.00 per pair 1/2" diameter pintle Note: Jamb mounted pintles are used for many kinds of applications. They are mortised into the jamb as any butt hinge is, and I recommend them highly for most installations. We can also make the jamb plate any size you need. Supplied with 2-1/4" long black flat head screws. Finish:Black Wrought Iron Quantity:

	HF-36	driven pintles
	$75.00 per pair 1/2" diameter pintle Note: Driven pintles were frequently used in the 1700's; but jamb mounted pintles are more common today. The down side of using driven pintles in wood is that you have only one chance for perfect alignment. The driven part is barbed, and if you place it wrong (the pin is crooked one way or another) or in the process you hit an old nail or a knot; there is no turning back. I often recommend the use of driven pintles in masonry, because cementing them into place is a reliable method of installation. Finish:Black Wrought Iron Quantity:

	HF-35	screw-in pintles
	$80.00 per pair 1/2" diameter pintle, 2-1/2" long threaded shaft,1-1/2" tall pintle to fit 11/2" wide straps Note: Screw-In pintles often called farmers pintles, are a commonly produced custom pintle configuration. They are the same as the HF-36 driven pintles, but instead of the spike for masonry they have a threaded lag screw end. They can be handy for duplicating the appearance of a driven pintle without the tricky installation. They do have a tendency to rotate once installed so we recommend them for lighter doors only. Finish:Black Wrought Iron Quantity:

	HF-38	Surface mounted pintle
	$99.00 per pair 1/2" diameter pintle Note: Surface mounted pintles are used for very special applications. Sometimes shutters use them. They are also used in applications where the most secure wood is around the face of the door instead of in the frame. These are always made to order according to your needs. Supplied with 2" long black pyramid head screws. Surface mounted pintles are a special order item, please allow 4 weeks for delivery. Finish:Black Wrought Iron Quantity:

Items sold in pairs are also available in half-quantities. To order, just entry 0.5 as the quantity. For example, to order 1½ pair, enter 1.5.
