No Sag Gate Kit B

Sturdy, looks good, it functions well, no problem with rust and I assembled it on a concrete slab. Best though if you have a piece of plywood or a table. 🤨. Pre drilling is important, I used a self centering hinge bit first followed up by a regular bit for the longer screws. (Shorter screws do okay with just the centering bit). I had no issues with the screws when pre drilling. As long as your boards are straight and flat, it is easy to use. Used this for a chicken run I built. Keeps the corners square and secure. Plus a fast build, as long as your boards aren’t warped or twisted or BOTH😖.

These kits are great very easy to install and build a gate, and very durable.

After I’d built and installed the gate, I was impressed by the clean, simple look and the sturdiness. This gate will hold up nicely for years to come. (One note about that: I used my own powder-coated screws, because the ones that came with the kit were on par with drywall screws, which are not the right fasteners for an outdoor job.) In retrospect, I have to laugh about the estimated assembly and installation time of 25 minutes. I’m a self taught carpenter with years of experience and above average skill. And this gate took me 6 hours to build. Part of this is my own fault, because I changed my mind mid-project to have the gate swing inward rather than outward. In any case, the 3/4 page set of instructions and tiny DIY illustrations were insufficient. They needed to be clearer, larger, and more detailed. Instead, I had to figure out many of the details (which way should this hardware face, what is the precise order of steps, and so on), which led to improvisation and a bunch of “do-overs.” So, the bottom line is, take time before starting to get your cuts right and make a plan of attack. Don’t underestimate the complexity of this “simple” build. It worked out very well in the end but took far too long.

As a DIYer, this gate kit has been a game-changer for my wooden gate projects. This heavy-duty kit provides everything needed to reinforce a sagging gate, ensuring it remains straight and functional over time. The corner brace brackets are robust and easy to install, providing excellent support and stability. One of the standout features is the self-locking gate latch, which adds an extra layer of convenience and security. It ensures the gate stays closed securely without any hassle, which is a significant improvement over standard latches. The kit comes with clear instructions, making the installation process straightforward even for someone tackling this for the first time. The only minor downside is that the kit may require some adjustment or additional hardware depending on the specific dimensions and weight of your gate. However, once properly installed, the benefits far outweigh this small inconvenience. This product is an essential investment for anyone looking to maintain a sturdy and reliable gate. Its durability, ease of use, and added security make it a highly recommended product for any DIY enthusiast.

The directions that they sent me didn't match the style of brackets that they sent. It was still easy enough to figure out how it was supposed to be built and it works great.

Sturdy, great design, good value. Well functioning.

These are great. I have bought them multiple times and they will be the only thing I use for a gate. Custom size to fit whatever you are doing.

I previously purchased three of these kits and was totally satisfied with the product. This last purchase was quite different. The frame around the hinges was slightly warped and difficult to assemble. A bigger problem was the screws. The previous three kits came with star head screws that were easy to use. This kit, however, came with phillips head screws which were difficult to use even after predrilling the wood. A number of the screws twisted off while installing. Also, the shorter screws for the latch installation were not included. The drill bit that was included for predrilling broke immediately. Why this kit was different who knows.
