The Heavy Duty Traditional Walk Gate Hardware Kit is designed for wood walk gates, backyard access gates, privacy fence gates, and garden entrances where dependable performance and classic styling are desired. This coordinated kit combines two 8" traditional double strap hinges with a matching latch and handle for a professional-grade installation.
Each hinge is classified as an 8" strap hinge, referring to the length of each individual strap. When installed as a double strap hinge, the total hinge span measures approximately 16" across the gate face (8" per strap). This broader footprint helps distribute gate weight more evenly than narrow hinges.
If you prefer a more decorative ranch-style appearance, see our Heavy Duty Western Walk Gate Hardware Kit for Wood Gates.
