Adjust-A-Gate Frame Kit Installation Review

Hello! In this video, I talk about the Adjust-A-Gate Frame Kit I recently installed for the side fence. Since I used galvanized posts instead of wood posts, I had to use a different J-Bolt setup, which I share below where I purchased that unit if you're interested. I also installed a 2-side lockable latch instead of the basic latch included with this kit. That information is below as well. Overall, after those basic modifications, I took my time and figured out how to get this gate frame kit installed. It comes with instructions, but I realized that it was still a bit of trial and error and learning as I went. Fyi, the frame was shaky until I screwed the 2x4s on the frame, which tightened the extension I needed for the frame to reach the 5ft 7in length I needed. I do recommend installing this frame kit and the fence pickets before you install your latch to ensure proper alignment and placement. While you are installing the j-bolts you can use the latch to get an idea of how far out you need to screw the j-bolts so you reach the catch. Overall, I got it set up and the kit saved me time from building a wood gate. Thanks for watching and if you have a personal experience or tips regarding the Adjust-A-Gate frame kit leave them in the comments below for other viewers to learn from. Stay safe and well.

Good review. Thank you. I woulda put those panel-to-2x4-screws in from the outside. Stay safe.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the call out of the Bullet Fence Systems -Adjustable gate hinge. Had a customer tell me that is how they found out how to get the hinge sets. Great Video.

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Oh, you're welcome. I really like this product a lot. I had to use the bullet fence system gate hinge set again for another gate I put up. Thanks.

[@livennick9]

That was a very long informative idea. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@nowires4]

Thanks so much for your post. The bullet set is just what I was looking for!

[@luisphr]

which size did you get for the bullet set?

[@jk_22]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering about using the adjust a gate with my existing galvanized posts, glad I found your video.

[@annaschmanna1]

Great review! Thank you! We bought 3 of these and were wondering about things you answered.

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Fantastic! Good luck on your project!

[@kimberlykelly7280]

You encouraged me to give this a try myself. I bought the adjust a gates months ago and have been waiting on my gardener to install it. He placed the posts already so that part is done. Thank you!!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

That's great! If you feel overwhelmed, you can still have your gardener help you out. That's nice.

[@wizdumwifey]

Thank you ...I have metal post and was trying to figure this out.

[@fastj1962]

tip for the tight openings you had to hammer the 2 x 4s into. You can use a "crescent wrench" (Adjustible wrench) and open it just enough to fit on the metal and just bend it. Super simple and you can use this trick on a number of things. I've used it on things like inline hockey frames that have gotten hit by a puck and bent, to Aluminum plates on a $300k printer that hold circuit boards bent in shipping. ITs a low tech, low energy solution.

I bought the bullet fence set so thank you.. I just noticed that you put the bottom bolt on upside down.. you’re supposed to have one L upwards and 1 L downwards to lock the gate into the hinges.. right now you can just lift that gate off the hinges completely.

[@codygregory5883]

I’ve been looking for a way to hang a steel frame gate on a round post for a while now it’s been very exhausting and nothings worked
u casually mention the the bullet fence hinges lol. They’re exactly what I was looking for. Just ordered a set. Very helpful!

[@stunningmisadventures]

Good idea to use galvanized posts instead of wood posts!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Yes, thanks, I have seen how fast wood posts can rot. My neighbor is having that problem right now. I didn't want to deal with it too. Take care!

[@squattingnomad6298]

Just bought one and came here for help installing it., I do not see any holes for the hooks (at the end of the diagonal cable) to go into. Did you drill holes?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Oh, that means most likely the sides are backwards because they are pre-drilled for you.

[@justinmireles8006]

The j bolts from bullet fence fit into the provided "adjust a gate" hinges no problem?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Yes, I had no problem

[@luisphr]

What's the correcto size for the Clamp on adjustable gate hinge pair. I have in ther webpage 2 3/8, 2 7/8, 3 1/2, 4 and 4 1/2. I don't know which one to buy, your help is really appreciated.

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

I used the same size as my metal posts.

[@csara71]

The way you have the hinges, someone could just lift it up and take it off.
