Hi!  I actually have 4 groups cause I want the doorhandle to turn & have some movement.  I have a very little familiarity with the joint editor, but I keep trying till I get it right.  All the other props in the garden are ready. I just have this gate & one more to rig before I move on to texture. 

Another screenshot of how I have it set up.

Have a creative day!
