Double Straps with Rear Eye - 3" Gap (8324)

Our Rear Eye Double Strap Hinges are incredibly robust and durable! They combine heavy duty construction and strength with easy adjustment while reducing the space required between the gate and post to as little as 1/2”. They are ideal for use on heavy gates such as rail gates, driveway entrance gates, dumpster enclosure gates, agricultural gates and the traditional English ‘Five Bar Gate’.

Double Straps not only hang the gate, they strengthen and support the gate. By sandwiching the lumber between the straps the corner of the gate is effectively locked at 90 degrees to prevent sagging and distortion. Strong, Full Lateral Adjustment and only 1/2" between the Gate and the Post. This Hardware Combination has it all!

This hardware is ideal for use with wood gates.

Rear Eye Heavy Duty Double Strap Hinge (8324) Features:
  • Extremely heavy duty!
  • Intended for use on large, heavy gates constructed using wood or cellular PVC.
  • Available in 5", 12", 18" or 24" lengths.
  • Straps are 2" wide x 1/4' thick.
  • 3" or 3.5" space between straps.

  • Sold individually.
  • Manufactured from forged steel.
  • Available in Hot Dipped Galvanized or Black (BPPCG) finishes.
  • Color matched carriage bolts included.
  • Double Straps Sandwich the Wood Between the Straps to Lock the Gate at 90 Degrees to Prevent Sagging and Distortion.
  • The "Rear Eye" Double Strap enables one to hang large, heavy Gates with a space between the Gate and the Post as little as one-half inch. Ideal for use with more ornate sleeved Posts. Depending on the thickness of the Post the Gate can be mounted even with the front of the Post or slightly in front of the front edge of the Post. Gate can be opened about 135 Degrees.
  • A Long Double Strap is Usually Used on the Top Rail of the Gate (12" For Gates up to 4' Wide, 18" For Gates up to 7' Wide, and 24" For Gates up to 10' Wide).
  • The 5" Double Strap can be Used on the Bottom of All Sizes of Gates (We also offer the Adjustable Bottom Fitting (#8250) which allows for Easy Adjustment).

Customer Photo - Maine Board Gate Installed on Lap Rail Fence Using Snug Cottage Hardware - Bethel, CT

Here are some great pictures from our customer Matthew out in Bethel, Connecticut, who built a Maine Board Gate using our DIY Gate Plans. He installed the gate on a West Virginia Lap Rail fence using Snug Cottage 8324-18SP Hinges in Combination with the 8256-34P male hinges. The gate list secured with a Snug Cottage Contemporary Style Ring Gate Latch with the addition of a drop rod to keep the gate in the open position. The gate, fence, and hardware look wonderful, thank you Matthew!

Customer Comments:

"I built a twelve foot wide double Cape Cod board gate with rear eye hinges using pressure treated pine deck boards following the gate plans provided on the Hoover Fence website, with slight modifications. The slope of the land where the gate is located grades downward. This results in any gate to be able to open one way; hence, the rear eye hinge selection. My 6x6 gate posts had already been set at about 70 inches high when I found the gate plans. The plans have the post side boards at 72 inches high so I cut them to 68" to be slightly lower than the posts. This also required a modification to the length of the diagonal boards. I also attached 48 inch high fence wire to my gate to keep smaller animals inside the fenced in area. This caused the gate to be slightly thicker than the gate plans requiring 4 inch carriage bolts rather than the 3.5 inch bolts listed in the plans. The plans also call for 1.75" wood screws. The large home improvement store that I purchase from does not carry an exterior grade screw in that size so I stepped down to 1 5/8 inch screws to use on some parts of the gate, but mostly 3 inch screws on areas where 3 boards and fence wire meshed.

Using the Hoover Fence gate plans took me a little while to understand. The video that they provide on the website helped. Once you figure out what all of the pieces are for, the second gate is easy to build. My gates are thicker than the gate hinges were meant to be, so I had to use a plunge router to inlay the hinges into boards. Once I got the first gate completed I found out how heavy it is. If it's not 200 lbs. it's pretty close. I used my tractor with pallet forks to place the gate. I set the gate on a spare deck board to allow for clearance and made sure it was mostly level. I marked where the hinge holes were locate, drilled holes in the post with a 3/8 auger bit, hooked the gate bolts onto the gate, tapped the carriage bolts through the hinges and the post, tightened down the bolts with a washer and nut. I then finished leveling the gate by turning the large nuts on the hinges. It went surprisingly quick and easier than I expected. I'd like to note that when you open the gates all the way you lose about 6 inches of clearance on each gate. This means that my 12 foot wide gate opening has about 11 feet of clearance.

Everything turned out perfectly. Every piece of Hoover Fence hardware that I got is great and the gate looks great. I highly recommend the hinges and hardware from Hoover Fence. I already have Hoover Fence hardware to make a 20 foot wide double gate using Central Eye hinges. I don't know how much heavier a 10 foot wide gate is compared to the 6 foot ones that I made and if the Central Eye hinges can hold them up, but I'll find out and so will Hoover Fence."

Here is a great picture from a customer of ours who installed these wood gates for the city. The city and customer are pleased with the choice of Snug Cottage Hardware to hang the gates. Brian chose to hang the gates with 8322-05SP Double Strap Hinges, and 8256-034P Mounting Plate with Adjustable Pin. He also used the 8234-24SP 24" Double Strap Hinges, the 4200-03SP Throw Over Gate Loop Latch, and the 5110-00SP Heavy Duty Gate Wheels.
