Standard Hardware

When installing a fence, too often many people try to save money on the gate hardware. However, the type of hinges and latches that you choose could mean the difference between years of problems with gate sag, gates not latching or gates not closing. AOFR always recommends high-quality gate hardware to withstand the everyday use that your gate will endure. Some things to consider when choosing your hardware:

-How much activity will the gate receive?
-Do you need a self-closing hinge?
-Will a standard gravity latch suffice?
-Would you like to be able to lock your gate?
-Is your fence enclosing a pool and do you
 want to keep children from opening your
 gate?
