 |
| There are two ways to hang a gate, either on the back or between posts. |
| Single Gate hung on back of posts: |
| Size of gate required = Distance between posts + 2" (50mm) - i.e. gate overlaps each post by 1" (25mm). Use double strap hinges and spring fastener or auto catch. |
|
| Double Gates hung on back of posts: |
| Size of gate required = Distance between posts + 2 1/2" (63mm) - i.e. gate overlaps each post by 1" (25mm), with 1/2" (12mm) gap in centre. Use double strap hinges and drop-over loop and adjustable drop bolt. |
|
| Single Gate hung between posts: |
| Size of gate required = Distance between posts, less 6" (150mm) for double strap hinges and 2" (50mm) for mortice gate latch. Use double strap hinges and mortice gate latch. |
|
| Double Gates hung between posts: |
| Size of gate required = Distance between posts, less 8 1/2" (212mm). Use double strap hinges, drop over loop and adjustable drop bolt. |
|
| This crook is correctly positioned when there is 2 1/4" (56mm) between centre of pin and face of posts. | The same applies as opposite when hanging between posts, making 4" (100mm) between gate hanging stile and post. | |
