It is a combination of the two posts being plumbed but one is further
inside
by 1.5" then the other post, and the installer forced the drop rod in the
right place (hence twisting the gate etc...)

I need to rebuild the gates and also find a way to mount the hinges such
that an offset is possible.


OK if one post is behind the other by 1 1/2 inches then remove the hinges
from the post that is too far back and bolt on a 2 X something. this should
bring the face back to where you need it. buy some bolts that are an inch
and a half longer and now the hinge side of each gate will be in the right
place.

Now all you need to do is to tweak your gates back into shape and everything
should work fine.
