Which side do hinges go on a gate?
The hinges for gates are always fitted on either the front or rear face of the post or wall plate and never between the post and the gate. Handing is the side of the hand on the gate. This can either be on the left hand (LH) or on the right hand (RH) when looking at the good side.
How far apart should hinges be on a gate?
For gates with standard 2×4 framing and 4×4 posts, leave a 1/2- to 3/4-inch space between the latch post and the gate frame. On the hinge side, it will depend on the hardware you use. About 1/4 inch is usually sufficient.
