Tools and Hardware Reviews of Adjust-A-Gate AG 72 2-Rail Consumer Quality Gate Kit, 36-Inch to 72-Inch by 45-Inch HighCustomer Review: Big Hassle Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this gate kit thinking it would be easy to put together a sturdy, square gate. As it turns out, the engineering of the product was a problem, and the instructions were poorly done.
The simple, ubiquitous gate latch was made improperly. The tongue was not bent far enough to allow it to parallel the gate. So I had to place my own washers under one end of the tongue to compensate.
The instructions do not explain everything. There are two diagrams that show the "stop" in two different positions.
Additionally, the instructions had me screwing the metal frame to 2 x 4's before squaring up the gate. This would have meant that I would have made it rigid while it was not square. After making it rigid and not even close to square, I was supposed to place great stress on it by forcing it into being square. How ridiculous!
Upon trying to insert the two bars into both the top and bottom of the frame, there were no holes that would allow me to screw the frame to the horizontal 2 x 4's as instructed because the holes in the inner square tube and the outer square tube did not match up. This left me unable to follow the instructions to screw through the tubes into the 2 x 4's. I had to drill my own holes to align those of the inner and outer tubes, thus allowing the screws to pass all the way through both tubes.
Finally, the engineering of the hinge brackets is such that a bolt head protrudes into space that is needed for the front vertical pieces of the gate. Therefore, one cannot produce a gate with a flat front. The piece of wood covering the hinge brackets will bulge out by the thickness of the bolt heads and cause that piece of wood to stick out from the rest.
Overall, there are some well carried out aspects of this product, but the negatives far outweigh the positives. It was a time-consuming hassle to work with this gate kit. I would not recommend it. It would have been easier to make my gate completely from wood, and less expensive.
