I keep getting let down by people coming to fit driveway gates, so I decided
to have a go myself, however, I don't want to drill through the concrete
posts. Are there fixings I can get that will allow me to hang the gates
without drilling holes in the posts. Thanks


I thought if you were going to fit a gate to a post you used posts
that already had holes though them for that purpose?

eg, Our paneled fence uses slot in panels including the one next to
the gate, but that only has a slot in one side for the panel and then
a plane face for the gate 'frame'.

Assuming the wrong posts are already in place, I believe you may be
able to drill through the post if you stay in the middle and don't
touch the reinforcing rods (they cast the holes though the middle
after all) and there may be external ironwork you can buy but I'm not
familiar with any.
