Choose the right hinge set

T-hinges are quick, traditional and perfect for lighter picket and decorative leaves. Hook-and-band hinges add strength and adjustment for heavier closeboard gates and exposed side passages; cranked bands help centre the leaf within posts for tidy reveals. For a complete system, pair hinges with robust gate posts and a clean base detail that keeps timber out of splashback.

Latches, locks and everyday usability

A ring latch is glove-friendly and dependable for front paths and garden entrances; add a long-throw lock for extra security on side returns, and use tower bolts to park a gate open during barbecues or bin runs. Pet owners appreciate lift-to-open latches mounted just high enough to defeat curious noses. Choose galvanised or stainless components for longevity and match finishes for a professional look.

Fixings and alignment—small details, big difference

Use exterior-grade screws and through-bolts sized to the job; pre-drill near edges in timber to avoid splitting. Offer up hardware before drilling to confirm that keeps will land cleanly—slamming shortens service life. For consistent appearance, align bolt heads and screw lines across the leaf; your eye will thank you every time you pass.

Integrate hardware with the fence system

Carry style and colour through the boundary. If your run uses closeboard panels, choose stout hinges and a latch set that matches dark stains; with picket gates, lighter T-hinges in galvanised finishes feel honest and friendly. Protect adjacent cladding with timber gravel boards or concrete alternatives, and finish the skyline with panel capping so the whole run reads designed, not pieced together.

Installation and safety

Support the leaf on packers when marking out, set hinge screws long enough to bite firmly and consider hinge bolts on outward-opening gates. Keep swing arcs clear of planters and paving upstands, and set latch heights that work for all users. For straightforward footings when you’re setting posts, pick a reliable mix from our cement products range.

Care: quick checks, long life

Once a year, tighten screws, re-grease hinge pins and confirm latches close with a single push. Clean off grime gently; avoid aggressive jet-washing over moving parts. Replace tired components like-for-like to maintain the look and feel you chose on day one.

Order with confidence

Specify hinges and latches to suit gate weight and exposure, fix with the right screws and through-bolts, and coordinate finishes with your posts and panels. With East Coast Fencing’s garden gate furniture you’ll get an access point that looks right, feels solid and lasts—backed by free delivery on orders £99+.
