Downspout hinges are a great addition to many gutter systems. They help prevent the vital extension from blowing off in the wind leading to foundation issues and water in the basement. They are also very convenient when mowing and doing yard work. There is no need to remove the extension risking loss or damage, simply lift it up. Most hinges come with fasteners that are made of plastic, hook and loop or flimsy aluminum. They don’t last and many wear out just from being exposed to the elements. The TDL Downspout Extension Retention Clip paired with a rugged powder coated steel hinge by Gutterworks Mfg. is the strongest, longest lasting device of its kind. This device will keep your extension in the up position until you are ready to lower it. Even on windy days. Perfect for when the pets, kids or grandkids (or grandparents) are playing in the yard! It is very durable and easy to install. Designed to be used with 2x3” or 3x4” aluminum or steel downspout elbows. Includes 1 steel hinge, 1 magnetic clip, 7 screws, 1 washer, and instructions.
