Before you begin?

Before you fit your hinges, bolts or latches, it is important to check that the gate is facing the right way. On most gate designs there is a front and a back. This is determined by the gate supports. If your door or gate has diagonal supports, these should be on the inside of the gate, with the good side facing out. These supports will also help you to identify where the hinges should be fitted?

Important Tip: The bottom of the diagonal support is pointing to the hinge side of the gate. It is crucial to the support of the gate that the hinges are fitted to the correct side.
