this is no tractor supply in any of that . bought the long straps from craigslist for 30 and made the rest . took a while to figure out what to do and how to do it . but I like the finish look . and they work pretty good to

Our local Tractor Supply carries those hinges.  The long strap is meant to be bent around a post or the trunk of a tree.

I think it's a cool way to hang doors. The ones on Lockjaw are the next to the largest "Barn Door" hinge from TSC and they are smooth, sturdy, and silent!!
