You might be interested to try Amsteel in lew of wire. Johnson makes very nice pelican hooks just for this. Alternatively you can use a regular pelican hook. I particularly like being able to wrap the line around the ladder which supports the gate and holds the ladder while not marring or damaging either. You can also assemble DIY and replace for very cheap. I have pictures and additional guidance upon request.
