Gate hardware keeps your fence gates secure, smooth to operate, and built to last. This category covers hinges, latches, locks, closers, drop bolts, cane bolts, gate wheels, stops, guides, and complete gate kits for wood, vinyl, metal, and chain-link installations. Whether you’re outfitting a garden gate, pool gate, driveway gate, or farm gate, the right hardware improves safety, privacy, and curb appeal while reducing maintenance.

Choose hinges matched to gate size and weight: strap and T-hinges for wooden gates, adjustable bolt-through hinges for heavy-duty use, and self-closing or spring hinges for pedestrian and pool gates. For coastal or high-moisture areas, stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized hardware resists corrosion; powder-coated steel offers strong performance and a clean look. Latches range from simple gravity designs to key-lockable and magnetic options, including child-safe, self-latching pool gate latches that help meet safety codes. Add hydraulic or spring closers for controlled closing, gate stops to prevent over-travel, and anti-sag kits to maintain alignment over time.

Sliding and rolling gates benefit from track systems, guide rollers, and robust latches. For added convenience, consider keypad or smart-compatible gate locks, and solar-ready accessories for driveway gates.

Quick buying checklist:
- Gate type: swing or sliding, residential, commercial, or agricultural
- Size and weight: confirm hinge load ratings and gate width
- Material and finish: galvanized, stainless steel, aluminum, or powder-coated
- Environment: coastal, high-wind, or high-traffic conditions
- Safety and code: self-closing/self-latching for pool gates; child-resistant features
- Compatibility: gate thickness, post size, and fastener type

Installation tips: keep posts plumb, use through-bolts on heavy gates, pre-drill to avoid splits in wood, and align latch and strike precisely. After installation, lubricate moving parts, tighten fasteners periodically, and touch up finishes to prevent rust.
