Specifications

Installation

Mark hinge locations on the post. Wrap the strap around the post, insert the specified 3/8″ carriage bolt, and tighten until snug—secure enough to prevent rotation without deforming the post. Mount 5/8″ female strap hinges to the gate upright, set the leaf on the pintles, and fine-tune reveal by loosening/re-tightening as needed. Use two hinges for most gates; add a third for tall or heavy leaves.

Buying Guide
