Gate Hinge Extension Allows Gate to Open Around Post to Nearly 180 Degrees

Kieler, WI – The need to help livestock producers has led M&A Manufacturing, Kieler, Wisconsin, to develop a universal hinge extension that allows an agricultural gate to swing around the corner post to nearly 180 degrees in each direction.  The universal gate hinge extension is added to the lag bolt gate hinge pin. The extension is placed directly on the existing hinge pin to extend the pivot point of the gate. The gate then is allowed to clear the corner post and come around to nearly 180 degrees.

 
"Several of my customers had expressed frustration with gates that would not swing all the way open, or bounce back of off the corner post and either close, or slam into their vehicle as they passed through," said Doug Heiar, inventor of the Gate Hinge Extension.

The universal hinge extension is manufactured using American steel in Kieler, Wisconsin and can be shipped throughout the entire United States. The hinge extensions are sold in pairs, one pair required for each gate. The package includes all hardware needed for installation.

In addition to the Gate Hinge Extension, M & A Manufacturing manufactures fence posts, continuous fence, gates, corrals, ATV crossings and guardrail using galvanized steel. Coated with a protective zinc layer galvanized steel is the best and most durable material you can use to ensure a lifetime of durability. M&A Manufacturing is a division of a family business, Heiar Fencing and Supply, Dubuque, Iowa. Heiar Fencing is one of the top fencing installers in the Midwest. Heiar fencing installs more than 125 miles of agricultural fencing in a given year.
