iron hinges
Metal gate joints
Iron hinges are hinges made of iron, the heavy metal hardware that allows doors, gates, and lids to swing open and closed.
Iron hinges appear frequently in historical and fantasy contexts, where their weight and durability suggest medieval craftsmanship: The old church door hung on massive iron hinges.
The phrase often evokes rustic or gothic settings.
