Gate hinges 

What is a hinge?

A gate hinge is a type of hinge specifically designed to secure gates to posts or to adjacent fixed structures. Gate hinges are available in a variety of styles to support different weights and sizes of gates, from lightweight garden gate hinges to heavy duty styles for large, heavy driveway gates. They are designed to create a secure connection while allowing the gate to open and close easily. Some hinges allow adjustment after installation to correct any sagging of the gate over time.
