This kit seemed to be decent quality. I am always concerned that 2 hinges are enough for a shadow box style gate, but these seemed to do well.Lay everything out with your lumber so you can see how it will go together, measure twice and cut once. The gate should be about 1.5" narrower than your opening width...this will allow 3/4" on each side for clearance of your posts. Don't make the gate the exact size of the opening, it won't work. Take your time so that you get it right. I drilled pilot holes during assembly and install so that there was no wood splitting, this is important as you will be very frustrated if you took the time to cut the wood and then split it out putting it together. It takes seconds to add a pilot hole first, just do itAs I've learned from these kits, the screws they provide are trash and some will strip out almost guaranteed. I threw the included screws straight into the trash and used my own outdoor screws with a good bite on them and strong torx head for good grip to put everything together.Attaching the new gate to the post should really have 2 people or some kind of contraption to help you hold the gate in place and screw it into the post. I had some help fortunately. I got it screwed into the post, again with my own quality screws. Toy relief the hinges supported the weight pretty easily. This is about a 46" gate opening, enough to.drive my 42" deck riding mower through.Then I ttached a sold separate gate latch to the gate, again using pilot holes and my own screws. Everything operates, calling it done.I'll have two more gates to replace in the spring and will use this kit for both of them since it worked so well.

Really good product, strong and stable helps a lot and saves a lot of headache.There are reviews here that posted a picture and commented that the iron is not straight.It's not a problem once you put the screws in the right place and aligns!

I just built three gates using these, and it went fairly well. One more to go. I think the bracket set looks nice and complements the rustic rough-cut wood I used. The braces include extensions to which you screw your 2x lumber, and those provides much-needed additional strengthening.Unfortunately, this useful design feature requires one to build with 2x material, such as 2x4 for verticals, 2x6 for horizontals. If this is your plan, make sure you get very straight lumber and cut precise right angles. For greater torsion resistance and because I chose to sandwich PVC mesh to hide staples and edges, I chose to go with 1x6 and 1x4 with offset lap joints. You might see the problem here. The braces are designed to fit against the edges and ends of the lumber, and my offset lap joints get in the way. Again, this is not an issue if you go with standard 2x lumber.I ended up cutting off the bracket extensions and using the brackets more or less as designed. Also, because my rough-hewn lumber is close to 4" wide (versus 3.5" for kiln-dried store-bought lumber) I needed to cut off the hinges from their integral brackets and mount those separately. Again it does work, and requires a metal-cutting blade, a vise, some patience, and some spray paint touchup. Why go to this trouble? These brackets look the part, seem sturdy, and cost about a fifth of hinges and braced L brackets bought separately.A couple additional negs if you're using 1x lumber like I did: several of the pre-drilled mounting holes are difficult to use as designed, because they sit somewhat centered in the bracket, which means you must drive screws at angles to avoid putting a screw between your lumber. This issue is a non-issue if you use 2x4 or 2x6 lumber, as are the metal modifications. Certain pre-drilled mounting holes also are difficult to access as well, if you plan to attach mesh fencing with no edges showing (e.g., sandwiched). A couple sizes of screwdriver bit extensions help, and I also opted to use GRK torx screws to replace the supplied Philips screws that would otherwise likely strip out.

Makes building a gate a simple task. Provides great results and a perfectly square gate that is strong. I added composite trim over the 2 x 4s and love the results. Highly recommend this product.

It kit is easily assembled, looks great, but with a 6foot board… 5/8 “ thick , the metal still pulled itself to the board; which translates to pointless.

Heavy duty. Gate came out straight. Surprised how easy it was. Hinges are heavy. One of the better products I've bought

These brackets were so easy to use. I had to replace a 7 foot and 3 foot gate recently that I had built years ago. I always had trouble with the sturdiness of my previous build. These brackets solve all those problems and are just so easy to use. I did use longer screws as was recommended by other reviewers to mount the hardware. I then used the shorter black screws to attach the fence boards.One note, the hinges contain a bit more of a gap between the post and the gate so be sure to take that into account when measuring for your gate.

I used 2 sets of these to make two 5ft gates. I was precise in my cuts but found one pair was produced a slight parallelogram. There was around 1/2” difference in height where the gates met. I resolved the problem by just lining up the pickets accordingly so it’s not noticeable from the front. It’s kind of annoying from the back though as it looks like I messed up!The gates have been up a month and haven’t sagged at all and these are very heavy gates. I’m happy with the design of the system and they work well. It’s hard to see how they could ever sag so that’s a good thing.
