Making Wooden Gates for My House

There was these openings on the side of my house that were begging for some wooden gates! So I built gates, because I AM AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER!!

    You probably already realized this, but the reason that there is a loop at the top of the lock is for tying a chain/rope to, add a pulley above (doesn’t have to be far), and drop the free end of the string/chain onto the opposite side for opening the latch from the opposite side. Just make sure that the string weight is lighter that the latch so that the weight of the latch can relock itself when it drops back into place.

    Something to be aware of: The glue on the post affixed to the chimney is gluing the wood to the stucco. Structurally, it's only as strong as the bond between the stucco and the brick/concrete underneath. Just like Command Strips are only as strong as whatever it's on (paint, wallpaper) sticking to the surface underneath. I've had plenty of Command Strips come off because the paint separates from the wall. So really, the screws are doing almost all the work.

    To a degree that's true however the glue is still locking onto all the micro and macro dips, valleys, grooves in the cement/brick wall. But yeah the glue alone wouldn't have been sufficient and wouldn't have lasted. The screws are most important but I bet the glue adds resistance to movement over a million times for es are applied to that post. Might help prevent the wood from gouging around those screws from all the decades of slamming gate. Note, I'm not a structural engineer.

    It is pretty common these days to use a cable going the other way (tension) instead of the diagonal piece of wood. It is easier to adjust the tension of the cable using a turnbuckle to square up the door.

    @@pulloutski01 Just a little wire rope. Doesn't need to be super strong or anything. Anchor with some eye-bolts. I've seen custom gates and kits which use that, but how common probably varies by reigion. A piece of wood and some screws are cheaper, but the wire way is a bit easier to make and adjust. You know I'm sure, but the issue with the wood brace is that it needs to be cut pretty much exactly right.

    Gates turned out really nice. Good call on bracing that one against the house siding as well, out to stabilize the fence quite a bit. As a side note, if you plan on doing more stuffs with hinges, handles, or the like then you should get one of those self-centering drill bits. It's a small pilot drill bit with a spring-loaded collar around it, and as the name implies it centers itself in a hole, ensuring that the screw will be centered in it. Another tip is to clamp a narrow board so it won't split. Let the clamp hold the wood together, essentially. Faster than pre-drilling and useful when doing many such joints. Also the US building code says that you only need two screws per two inches of board width since too many screws actually weaken the board. So for a 2x4 it's two screws, for a 2x6 it's three.

    15:50 quite the opposite. screws are good when you want to pull things together, nails are good for shear forces. Nails are not hardened and will not break apart under load, good for shear resistance. Nails are terrible for holding 2 pieces together. You could add some glue to the screw if you are worried that it might come loose, but then you will never get it out without a drill.

    Hardened fasteners are stronger in all loads than non-hardened. Shear to tensile ratio is about 0.6 of tensile for steel fasteners. A low carbon steel fastener is about 60k psi tensile, with a hardened fasteners being 100K+. A mild steel fastener may yield before failing, but a yielded fastener has already failed.

    Sometimes it is better to see yielding before total failure. Nails give you that indication by yielding before total collapse. That's why they are used in structural joining. If you want more strength, you can use a bigger fastener, there are many to choose from.

    Mehdi, you generally want to put the latch at the same height as the door handle, its stronger for the gate over the long term. Putting it up high like you did gives you alot of leverage on the latch from where you are pulling on the handle, making it much easier to break the latch or rip it off the door. Plus they make door handles with thumb buttons that you can link to the latch to open the gate.
