The Heavy Duty T-Hinge Western Walk Gate Hardware Kit is a complete hinge and latch solution designed for wood walk gates, backyard access gates, and ranch-style fence openings. Featuring two 8" T-hinges, this kit delivers dependable gate swing support with straightforward installation. The included post latch system with receiver plate and striker bar ensures consistent alignment and secure closure, while the ornamental handle provides a finished western appearance.
T-hinges are commonly used on standard pedestrian wood gates because they offer solid pivot strength with a compact mounting footprint. For larger, wider, or heavier wood gates that benefit from broader load distribution across the gate face, consider our Heavy Duty Western Walk Gate Hardware Kit with Double Strap Hinges for Wood Gates.
