Whether you're installing a new gate or upgrading your current setup, choosing the right hardware is key to ensuring security, ease of use, and long-term durability. This guide covers the essential components you'll need for 3/4 split entrance gates, including hinges and posts - helping you make confident, informed decisions for a smooth installation and reliable performance.
The general rule of thumb with hinges is, that if they are adjustable bands and hooks, they need to be at least a 1/3 of the gate width. Whereas with Tee Hinges, they need to be at least 1/2 the gate width.
Similarly, with posts, we say that a 1/3 of the post needs to be in the ground.
