Hinges, latches, drop rods, gate kits, post caps, tension bands, and brace hardware supplied to Haven, Hutchinson, Wichita, and Reno County, KS — pickup or local delivery. Free estimates and a 5-year workmanship warranty on installs.
The Small Parts That Make a Fence Work
A fence is only as good as the hardware holding it together, and that is the part most homeowners and ranchers never see until a gate starts to sag or a latch quits catching. River Creek Fence keeps the practical stuff on hand — hinges, latches, drop rods, gate kits, post caps, tension bands and wire, and brace hardware — and supplies it to folks all over Reno County, from acreages outside Haven to job sites near Hutchinson and the edge of Wichita. Owner Cody Yoder grew up around livestock and farm ground, so he knows the difference between hardware that survives a Kansas winter and the cheap stuff that rusts solid by spring.
We match the hardware to the fence you actually have. Wood privacy and ranch-rail fences want heavy strap or T-hinges and a self-closing latch; chain-link needs the right tension bands, brace bands, rail ends, and a fork latch; pipe and continuous fence call for weld-on or bolt-on hinges built for the weight. Bring us the gate opening, the post size, and what the fence is made of, and we will spec parts that fit instead of handing you a bin of guesses. Most of it is DIY-friendly, and we are glad to walk you through it.
River Creek Fence built its name installing fence across Central Kansas, and we are now supplying the same quality materials we trust on our own jobs to homeowners, farms, and ranches who want to do the work themselves. You get honest advice on grades and gauges, fair per-item pricing, and the option to have our crew set it for you — backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty when we install.

Things to know
- Hardware has to match your post size and gate weight — measure before you buy

- Bargain-bin latches and hinges rust and seize fast in our freeze-thaw winters
- Some specialty or oversized gate hardware is sourced to order, so allow lead time
Hardware Built to Take a Kansas Beating
Central Kansas hardware lives a hard life. Hot, dry summers swell and shrink wood gates, hard wind slams them against the latch, and wet, freezing winters seize up any hinge that was not built to last. We stock hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated hardware because plain steel or thin zinc rusts through fast out here. Heavier hinges, self-closing latches that actually catch, and drop rods that hold a drive gate steady in the wind are the parts worth spending a little more on.
Setting a gate post deep in concrete below the frost line is half the battle — the other half is the hardware. We will tell you which hinge throw and latch style suits your opening, when a gate needs a diagonal brace or a wheel, and how tension bands, brace bands, and a tension wire keep a chain-link run tight for years. Get the small parts right and the whole fence works better and lasts longer.

Gate Hardware & Fence Accessories FAQ
A standard wood gate needs a pair of heavy strap or T-hinges, a latch (a self-closing spring latch is great for keeping pets and kids in), and ideally a diagonal brace or turnbuckle so it does not sag. For wider or taller gates we step up to heavier hinges and may add a wheel. Bring us your opening width and post size and we will spec the right set.
Both. We stock individual hinges, latches, drop rods, and caps for repairs and DIY builds, and we can supply complete walk-gate and drive-gate kits or weld-up frames sized to your opening. For pipe and continuous-fence gates we source heavier weld-on hardware built for the weight.
Residential hardware is sized for lighter wood and chain-link gates and finished to look clean. Farm and ranch hardware is heavier — thicker hinges, beefier latches, drop rods, and cane bolts — to handle big tube and pipe gates that take abuse from livestock and wind. Cody grew up around farm ground, so we will steer you to the right duty rating instead of overselling.
Our freeze-thaw winters and wet springs rust through plain steel and thin-zinc hardware fast, and a seized hinge or rusted latch is the first thing to fail. Hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated parts hold up for years out here, which is why we stock them. Spending a little more on the hardware is cheaper than rebuilding a gate.
