Yes, you can get 100mm (4") barrel bolts. For a 4x2 gate where you want everything sitting flush with the posts, a 100mm straight barrel bolt should work well. If you can't find one long enough for the exact setup, you could also use a 100mm tower bolt or fit a longer bolt and recess it into the timber.
