When it comes to attaching a 1-3/8” gate frame to a chain link fence featuring 2-1/2” end posts, it’s important to use the right combination of latches, hinges, and properly sized carriage bolts. This residential gate kit includes all the necessary components: two female hinges accompanied by two male hinges for securing the gate frame to the posts; a latch hanger and a fork latch allowing you to open/close your gate; and six carriage bolts to help secure everything in place. All of these items have been fabricated using galvanized steel. This means the parts are imbued with superior rust resistance. After all, a gate is an outdoor product, subject to moisture and precipitation. Galvanization can help prevent the development of rust, thereby extending your gate’s strength and longevity.
