Lag type gate hinge set designed for hanging pipe and panel gates. These are strong steel hinges that can handle the demands of local farm use. This lag type gate hinge set can be marginally adjusted by limiting the amount of the distance you travel into the wood, but it should be set with at least two inches firmly embedded into the post. Lag type gate hinge set comes with a recommendation to pre-drill the hole with a much smaller bit to ease the effort in driving the lag bolt into your wooden post. However, don't run the risk of having to large of a pre-drilled hole that might strip the threads made when driving the lag bolt into your post.
