Original Series 36 in. - 60 in. Wide Gate Opening, Steel Gate Frame Kit

This gate frame is fantastic. The hardware is sturdy, and the final result is professional looking. The directions are easy to understand and use, and it makes the job of building a custom-fit an easy task. The variable width is a real plus because it can be tailored to exactly fit a variety of different width openings, and it can be placed with the latch on either the left side or on the right. The gate hangs square, and it opens and closes smoothly. I definitely recommend this product.

Very solid product. I installed it on a masonry wall with hinge plates (not included in package).

The instructions come in good print and different languages. It took a little longer to install than expected, but it turns out well in the end.

This product is great if you are a handyman or professional gate-builder looking for a shortcut, but if you are a regular person looking for an inexpensive gate you can put up in an hour or so, this product is not for you. The directions leave out information about what size drill bits you need, what size wrenches you need, and even the fact that you will need these tools. The directions do not mention drilling guide holes for screwing into the metal frame, and there is nothing about attaching the boards of the actual gate beyond a fraction of a second in a video I accessed on youtube. Also, the latch mechanism was completely wrong for our fence configuration, so I had to go to the hardware store and buy a different one. Now that the gate is done, it works fine, but it took me several days to finally finish it.

Two years ago, I created a blind fence gate using this kit along with some minor modifications. I'm writing this review for others like me, as I had to do a lot of research and was worried that the kit might be flimsy, the metal too thin, or possible not a very versatile design for applications like mine. However, AdjustAGate turns out to be quite versatile and offers a range of installation options beyond what's in the printed instructions. The image I'm uploading with this review doesn't do a great job of showing the custom configuration I used, but the intended result is clear: a horizontal slat gate that seamlessly matches a modern fence design. Even if you can weld and paint, this kit saves so much time and effort that the price is definitely worth it. It's easy to install, and if your posts are plumb and your work is precise, it will open and close beautifully for years. I'm back to write a review because I'm adding an outdoor closet and door that will also match up perfectly with these lines. The main challenge with modification of this kit is getting the hinges mounted in an optimal location to ensure proper clearance. Some configurations may reduce how far the gate opens. In this application, there's no need to go left towards the neighbor's yard (it's a narrow walkway behind a row of townhomes) - so the fact that I only get about 100º at full open is not an issue. (This design features an outdoor-range combination lock on the outside, so that I can get in if I ever lose a key - and it remains locked most of the time.) You may notice the top cap (which does not move with the gate) is in separate pieces. I'll be redoing that this time and will replace it with one long section of 2x10.

Very easy to put together and use. Works wonderfully.

Gate kit worked exactly as promised good price replaced gate for under $75. Only took about an hour to build it. Very sturdy looks great! Highly recommend.

Installed and works well, love the truss wire to eliminate sag.

I gave only one star but still recommend. Why? The frame is very well made but the instruction manual and all the photos are not. Look closely at ALL the photos here and other places. The fence posts are 2 x 4. Never use that dimension lumber for posts. Use treated 4 x 4 and plant them 2 feet deep. When deciding on this I only looked at the photos and decided to buy. Now about the instructions. I want my gate to open inward (with the gate cedar planks lining up flush with the fence) so I had to think about which side of the fence to mount the hinge. Look at the main promo photo. it shows the hinges mounted on the inside. Looks great but that fence is built with 2 x 4 posts. I looked closely at the instructions Two drawings show the hinges mounted on the inside of the fence and one drawing shows them mounted on the outside. (not consistent) But the one with outside mounting has the words to indicate inward swing, so that is how I did it. Looked good till I had to think about the gate latch. The latch will now not do it's job even if I mounted it upside down. I went back to Home Depot and had to spend another $12.00 to buy a latch that would work with the way I installed the gate.

Easy to install. Has many options as far as in swing or out. The only (small) negative is that the locking mechanism sticks out the front of the gate. Meaning if you are looking for a hidden entrance you will have to get creative.
