How To Install Wood Fence Gate Hinges

Installing hinges on a wooden gate is a straightforward DIY project! Start by marking the desired height for your gate, typically around 3-4 inches from the bottom. Position the hinges on both the gate and the post, ensuring they’re level. Drill pilot holes for screws to prevent any splitting of the wood. Secure the hinges with screws, checking that the gate swings smoothly before tightening everything completely. And just like that, your gate is ready to swing open!
