Using a simple layout process, correct hinge placement, and a clever anti-theft trick, Rob shows how contractors approach gate installation in real working fencing jobs. You’ll also see how tools like THOR post drivers and Rotech weld-on hinge pins and sockets help speed up the job while maintaining precision.

If you build fences, install gates, or manage livestock infrastructure, this is a practical technique worth knowing.

Whether you’re a fencing contractor, farmer, or rural property owner, this method will help you install gates that:

• Swing freely
• Stay aligned
• Resist sagging
• Cannot be lifted off the hinges

This is real contractor knowledge from the field.
