Ordering Sizes
-
Width (Fits Opening): This measurement is the opening size you will need between brickwork or existing posts for the gate to fit. We have already factored in the space required for the hinges and latch within these dimensions. You do not need to make any adjustments for these components.
-
Physical Height: This dimension is from the underside of the framework and the highest finial. It does not include the additional space required for ground clearance.
Example Ordering Size
If the gap between existing walls or columns is 914mm (3ft), then you must order a gate to "fit an opening of 914mm (3ft)".
Are Metal Posts Required?
You must add metal posts if you need to install the gate without any existing support for the hinges and latch. If required, please be mindful that they will take up more space.
Example: A gate to fit an opening of 914mm coupled with 2 x 70mm posts will require an overall width of 1054mm.

Important Information about the Saxon Wrought Iron Style Metal Side Gate
Fittings: Each gate comes with a latch fitting and a set of surface-mounted hinges. We do not include the screws required to install these components.

Installation: You should only attach the hinges and latch onto pre-existing masonry (or other support), provided it can adequately handle the weight of the gate. Please read the installation instructions for additional information.
Width: The "fits opening" dimensions in the menu include the space required for the hinges and latch. It does not refer to the physical width of the gate. Please learn how to select the right size if you are unsure what this means.

Fitting Advice: Universal metal posts provide the installer with flexibility in positioning fittings. You will need to use suitable self-tapping screws to attach the fittings to the posts but be careful not to overtighten the screws, as this could strip the threads. After installing, you will need to paint the screw heads, nuts, and bolts to prevent rust. In addition, all moving parts will need to be repainted regularly to maintain protection against rust.
-
Note: Screws and drill bits are not supplied with the posts. If any screws are included with the posts or fittings, this is not a standard guarantee for future orders.
