That's a really good video. I bought my at the ugly orange store, and two guys saw me with it, and spontaneously told me that they had used it, and with very good results. I bought to of the 72-inch ones, at $50/each.
I just bought 2 from Home Depot, best gate ever, love the simple set up!!
I have two, and both rusted within a year. So, every year, I prime and repaint. I still like it though, and would buy another.
An installation video should show measurments required for inward or outward installation. These are the important parts of the installation. On a scale of 1 to 10 (best), your video get 3.
@ Brenton Hurst: Yes, you can add an key lock system to gate frame kit, Stanley has several options available at your local home improvement retailer (for example the Stanley National Hardware CD6201). Our square frame is 1.5” x 1.5”, be sure the key lock system can fit our frame.
The Adjust-A-Gate is designed for wood posts but the consumer can modify it to work with metals posts. You would want to purchase two Chain-Link Fence Post Hinges in 2 3/8" x 5/8" (aka male hinges) at your local hardware store and you can hang the Adjust a Gate 5/8" hinges (female end) onto the Chain-Link Fence Post Hinges similar to the 2:07 mark in this video.
I just ordered J-Bolt Galvanized With 2 Nuts Attached 2 Pc Pack 5/8" x 6" (for $16.98) to replace the screw in J-BOLTS. Why? because the top screw in J-Bolt has slowly been pulling out of the 4x4 post with continued use. If you buy the Adjust-A-Gate, do yourself a favor and get thru-bolts and bolt it securely to the hinged side. You may also want to get better quality screws to attach the wooden slats. Other than that, it's a very good product that does exactly what it is intended for.
The music behind the video instruction is very uplifting and makes you feel like YOU TOO, can DO IT!
It's a good system. Too bad there is not one for a not so tall gate. Perhaps '36 IN' and so on. Not all gates are meant to be over 4 FT!
+Lance Manyon Yes, it is very cheerful, "heck yeah, this is easy." music!
Just cut down the boards to fit. I'm cutting 6' dog eared panels down to 4' so it won't look dumb next to my split rail fence...
these are pretty good, not perfect, but good enough for most homes.
there are 3 beam version and 2 beam version, depending on the size of the gate.
yes, those screws that came with the kit are pretty much useless.
I just bought 2 kits one worked really well but the other kit that I bought the frame is crooked and I exchanged it and the new one is crooked too what should I do
Are these gates only made to open in ward? Built a 12' gate for an rv with these. Only way to make it work is open outward. Doing so you need to leave a large gap with the pickets so it will open.
Hi. Thanks for the support! Can we ask what is the model number of the kits you purchased? For a gate width requirement of 67 inches, we would recommend model AG-72 (it adjusts from 36-72 inch width). For projects requiring up to 96 inch width, we recommend AG-60 or AG60-3 (the latter model is part of our Contractor Series and supports three horizontal supports). You can find these on Amazon and Home Depot. Home Depot can ship them to your home or to your nearest Home Depot store.
Next you will need to use a Chain-Link Gate Latch on the Adjust-A-Gate instead of our included latch in order to latch your gate around the second round metal post. Thanks for commenting!
my gate bracket on the top has dropped down about 1 inch. Note: that I absolutely made sure that I tightened both of the brackets very securely. I think that additional hardware is required to secure the brackets to the posts so that the there is no way slipping can occur. Blaine had mentioned a good solution, which i am going to investigate. i am going to change the position of the top post to point upward and hopefully find a top metal security sleeve to fit and mount over the top by attaching to my fence post. Any suggestions on who carries this and what is the diameter of the post? i am also having issues with the gate's Latch staying attached to the gate. The screws that were provided are loose and never stay in. i had to by new screws but...same issue is still happening and its very annoying.
Just saying...i need another frame for the other side of the house but...
The long wood screws provided were total garbage. Every one of them broke off when drilling them into place. I had to substitute "Deck Mate" brand screws.
Is there a video for installing using medal posts rather than wood posts?
There are no holes in the metal to install the lock, am i supposed to drill the holes myself? 3:27
I see it's been a few years but want to emphasize what Ali E said 3 years ago: An installation video should show measurements required for inward or outward installation. These are the important parts of the installation. Of course I have an outward swing gate, and written hinge pin installation is confusing.
I also have an outward swing gate (proposed). Any advice on how to proceed?
@@timfischer Cautiously.
I bought the model AG72 It says it’s made to swing inward but it can be made to swing outward. It then tells how you to set the hinges to swing outward but then doesn’t give you any other instructions on what to do to make it swing out. Like how to set up the latch’s.
I just got my two gates. Is there a way to make it to open the gate from inside and outside of gate?
I have an existing block wall that I would like to use with Adjust-A-Gate. The previous gate was a steel gate, so the block wall pilaster has threaded 2 to 3 inch long straight bolts instead of pintdles. Any suggestions on how to attach the Adjust-A-Gate to the existing bolts?
Best kit ever
I have 2 metal post (galvanized) which measure 2 3/8'', how do I install the hinge? Thanks
If I wanted to forgo the supplied gate lock and use something different like a key lock system, is that possible? Basically buying a different type of latching mechanism from Home Depot etc and not using what came with the kit?
Do you have a video for an outward swing install?
Can I drill directly into cinder pillars or do I have to drill into wood that has been secured to the pillars? Also what size bit is needed for drilling into cement? Thanks.
Thank you for this video. What is the estimated time needed for installation by a DIY, or an experienced worker? Thanks again.
How can I put the brackets into a brick pillar?
My kit is a bit different, it has no middle board option
Do you have video from this decade? That 10 yr old video shows old, different looking product
The gate slide down after you leave it
Is there hardware to open the gate from both sides?
Thanks for the great video. You need to design a gate where you can put the boards horizontal and not just vertical. A lot of contemporary style homes construct horizontal type fences. It would seem that would not take a major change on your part. Just put the same brackets you use on the top on the bottom on both the left and right side.
+Vic Rose You can just add vertical boards to the horizontal boards used in the frame, and then install the rest of your horizontal boards as usual, right?
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists Yeah,,,duh,right?
@@ricklaine4064 Totes, duh indeed good buddy!
My gate is not leveling out. How can I adjust so it is level?
Does this work for slanted gates?
32 seconds into video about installing gate it shows J bolt hinge with a screw thread. What I received with the AG60-3 was a totally different post hinge that can not be installed with a round post. Called Jewett-Cameron support at 800-955-2879 and the customer support told me the product has changed and the video is old and to go to a hardware store and buy your own J bolt hinge with screw thread. I really thought Jewett-Cameron would send me the part that their company video demonstrates for how to install gate. If you have a round post think twice before you buy this product. I guess I'll be returning the gates to Home Depot.
No one where I live ever uses wooden posts, they always use metal.
So, I was wondering, this shows the gate being built after the gate posts are already installed. What if you want to put the gate together before you have the posts installed? Should be okay, right?
Maybe, If you know the exact with your gate will be. But don’t take my word for it.
My review of the AG72 (I think that's the one I used). First, it's not an easy Do-It-Yourself project for just any homeowner. You better know basic carpentry skills and have the right carpentry AND mechanical tools.
Second, throw the included hardware away and replace it with quality hardware designed for building decks. You want the fence and gate to last more than a year or so.
Second, once the gate is assembled and hung, but before the upper and lower 2x4s are installed, drill more holes through the bars. Once the gate bars are assembled where they need to be, none of the holes used to screw the bars to the 2x4s will be aligned. Just drill them out in order to get decking screws through the bars.
Thirdly, The locking part of the latch that goes on the fence post isn't very well made and will not automatically latch when your gate is closed. The gate must be held shut to let the latch fall and catch the latch bar. Otherwise the latch just bounces and the gate stays open. Replace the latch with a quality mechanism.
My only other gripe is that if you want to be able to open the gate from the outside, you need to design your own latching mechanism. Some type of handle or gate latch designed to be opened from the outside.
The cross bars should be made to fit more snugly inside each other. The small diameter bar is FAR too small. It should be designed to fit better inside the larger diameter bar.
Other than that, it seems like a very sturdy gate frame once assembled. The included support cable adjust the frame and holds well. We'll see how well this gate holds up after a couple of years. It's definitely more sturdy than an all-wood gate would be.
That is a lot of complaining for a 50.00 product.
@@jostrander71 Who's complaining? 🤔
The video shows the top wood post hinge pointing downwards. The instructions that came w the gate show them both pointing upwards. Which is correct? I have the larger 3 rail gate
Yes which is it? bolt facing upward or downwards?
+James Vest I would think that you would want the bottom one pointing upwards and the top one pointing downwards. That way, someone can't just lift your gate up to remove it from the hinges.
Although it seems as if you would have more support with the hinges both facing upwards. Perhaps a threaded hinge with a lock nut on top would be the best security alternative.
Blaine Bugaski thats really a great solution to the total problem
Thanks!
Annette Herrera With the top hinge pointing down, all of the weight of the gate is being supported solely by the bottom hinge. But then the top hinge being upside down will hold the gate in tight and will not allow it to be slid upwards.
So......I don't know, I don't have one of these. I have a Cedar Rustic PVC fence with different hinges.
Im using 2 kits to make a double opening. What should the gap be between the two metal frames?
Where you able to make the double opening? If so, what was the gap?
@@onboarddatracks4247 i used a scrap piece of 2x4 i had trimmed down to 1" thick about 3ft long. I closed both gates with the 1" between and used a bar clanp to hold it together while i adjusted the tension cables.
This is more like an ad than an installation video. Skip to the 2:00 mark to start install info.
On the box it says never sags. Guess what? It sags.
What's the difference between contractor series, original series and consumer series?
Thank you for commenting.
Contractor series allows for a 3-rail application and the frame is 65” tall in the New 2016 redesign.
Original series is a 2- rail system and the frame is 50” tall in the New 2016 redesign.
Consumer version is a lighter duty, 2-rail system and the frame is 45” tall
There is no instruction for the cable position on 3 rail systems.
The instructions say to mark the hinge screw position 1" from the edge....then drill a 1/2 " hole and put in the 5/8 or 3/4 " screw. That leaves only 1/4 inch of wood???
Some drawings show the hinge screws pointing top dow and bottom up. Is this correct? Why aren't both oriented bottom up to help support the weight.
When I called the 800 number for your company to ask questions, the response was they only sell the product, can't answer questions on installation. Is there another way to contact you for instructions?
The instructions say down/up position is to help prevent theft. I guess people are going around just taking people's gates all willy nilly....
Thank you.
The only problem with this product is the brackets for the 2x4's are too narrow. Had to sand down the ends of the lumber to make them fit.
Big Hammer.
looks like the gate is only to be opened from the inside
My general contractor installed this gate per these instructions. Why is the upper hinge pin pointing downward? Why not upwards so the gate can be removed. As is, the entire weight of the gate is 100% on the bottom hinge pin. Seems to me that both hinge pins should share the load.
I agree with you, and I turned the upper one, up! No problem.
It is like that for security. It locks in the gate so someone cant just lift it off the hinges.
@@scottmckelvy8593 , yes, this would make for better security. Too late for me, but the instructions should point out both mounting methods and the advantages of each. Security? Meh. I would prefer both pins mounted upwards for strength and flexibility.
hmmmm.......did this. parts missing from kit, not 3 support bars.... only two, ambiguous direction booklet, latch bar is not long enough for round posts....took 5 hours...NOT 1 hour! Time will tell if this was worth the 80 bucks in total that it cost!
The estimated installation time is one hour. Thanks for watching our video!
It's a great gate, but don't use those cheap screws the kit provides!! They look like stainless but they are very cheaply made. Not unless they've changed to better screws.
can you include the link to order
Hi there, here is the link thelifetimefence.com/fencing-products/adjust-a-gate
Thank you!
I need instructions! 😭 someone lost the one that comes with it 😒
Hi Audrey, here are the instructions for the Adjust-A-Gate.
www.jewettcameron.com/media/wysiwyg/AG_72_Manual_2016-04-11.pdf
Two comments: 1) It's a shame that this video is not accessible on your website, and, 2) It would be helpful to the novice to have a little more detail than just the gloss-over explanation of your instruction video. Especially when it comes to attaching the fence boards to the frame. This video completely ignores the step where using the self-tapping screws to secure the wood to the metal frame.
Rick Lane This is the first time I have ever used this type of gate system and in retrospect I think it would just be easier to build a standard wood box and then install a truss cable to tension the sag. With the old school method the swing angle is much greater than with this prefabricated frame. The other problem is creating a flush nailing surface for the gate fence boards that would line up with the nailing surface of the fence rail because of the set-back design for a gate that swings inward. In the end, I would not buy this product again for these reasons and would just build an old school gate.
I have bought 5 of these. 2 from Home Depot and 3 from Lowe's. They are only 45" tall the one in this video is misleading. Also the slots for the 2x4's are too narrow for a 2x4 I had to bend them out and beat in the 2x4's. The company should really do a better job designing these especially at almost $100 a piece! I will try another brand on my next job.
Where can I buy this online in Canada?
Hi Noel, you can find the Adjust-A-Gate on Amazon at www.amazon.ca/Adjust-Gate-Building-36-openings/dp/B000AMQC7S/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=adjust-a-gate&qid=1614113001&sr=8-3&th=1
Also, available at Wayfair.
Make sure that you throw the instructions in the trash and watch this advertisement/ partial video first!
Bet these dudes charge 2500 for these gates
Nice commercial. Didn’t learn anything!
🤣🤣🤣
Well there was the sales pitch.
Why do none of these videos show how to take off the fence ? Y’all just start with a hole in the fence lol
The gate is designed to be opened from the inside for security reasons, but it can be easily modified to be opened from the outside too. Thanks for the comment!
How do you make it open from the outside? I am not concerned with security. I am concerned with gate being shut for my dog, but being able to get in and out from the outside when I have yard work to do.
what modifications do you recommend. The biggest issue is the gap required between the posts and gate.
This is a terrible installation video. What they don't tell you is this gate has to open toward the side with the frame. It also will not fold completely back, the most it will go is to a 45 degree angle. That's a problem if you need to drive a car through a double gate and don't have room to drive around the open gate.
So before you buy, keep this is mind. I'm super disappointed because it won't at all for the double gate I need in back and the whole thing has to be taken down and rebuilt.
