Which type of hinge may be used to flush-mount a gate with a narrow gate posts?

• A. T-Hinges
• B. T- Strap Hinges
• C. Pneumatic closures
• D. T-Bolts

Answer: (B)

For flush-mounting a gate on narrow posts, you need a hinge that can anchor securely without demanding a thick post. The T-strap hinge fits this situation because its strap design wraps around or sits tight to the post and gate, distributing the load over a larger area and allowing the leaves to sit flush against the post faces. This makes it possible to mount the gate so it closes tightly and swings freely even when the post is narrow, without needing bulky mortises or oversized posts. Pneumatic closures are for closing the gate automatically, and T-bolts are fasteners rather than hinges, so they don’t provide the appropriate mounting behavior.
