National Hardware V835 Cane Bolt Door Latch 1/2 in x 18 in Black Steel Gate Hardware for Heavy Wood Gates and Doors with Variable Bolt Throw Vertical Horizontal

Installed 2 —one on each side of heavy 10 foot double gate for 6’ tall wood privacy fence—work great, easy to install. A few notes: Did have to make a couple of modifications from the package directions. I had to adjust the bracket placement on my fence due to the gate supports. Package said put lowest support 3” from gate bottom but had to go with 4.5” and definitely had to lower the middle support 1” otherwise would not have had enough drop to make sue both top and bottom of rod would have enough support for high winds. Also when putting on the top hardware on the first rod, I was off a little from level (which was an error on my part) which caused the rod to rub and interfered with dropping it down. Fixed the screw placement and made sure to check the rod had free movement when installing the second. Found it easiest to just mark a straight line down center of post then used level to mark cross-lines—allowed me to quickly align the brackets to avoid the error made on the first one. Would recommend checking to make sure drop rod stays in both lower supports when setting height of top bracket so the rod stays in alignment in the “up” position. [pictures are from before adding the receiving pipe in the ground for the drop rod in the down position]

This is solid! I like this version that has the "hook" to be able to hang the cane bolt when not in use. I went to a big box store and got the SAME version but realized it was a 5/8" which honestly is not only overkill for my little 4x4 gates that I am making but also heavier. I am glad I found this on Amazon because it's the same exact version of the bigger brother in terms of hardware/finish/quality, just not as heavy which in my case is a much better thing! I'll post updated pictures once I install my gates this weekend! (Taking a section of 90" fence and then making double gates out of the section) EDIT: Welp got my double gates done over the weekend and used these cane bolts. See attached pictures. Everything is solid. I did use 1/2" galvanized pipe and pounded that into the ground so that the cane bolts can go into them. VERY solid! I will update in a few months to see how the finish of the product is from being in the weather/hit with the sun ALL day.

Good quality, works great but some of the black paint has worn off where it rubs on the guides

Great for deck gate hardware

Item was well packaged and arrived safely. Easy install, took about 5 minutes total. Have used it 6-12 times and there are no issues. Unit is sturdy when installed and screws are long enough to hold. We opted for a longer model to go deeper into the ground. Not sure of longevity as far as color fading, rusting, etc. Installed on wood and goes into grass.

Great product, work great, easy to install.

Excellent thick iron fence stop post. Works great and goes right into the hole in the concrete to keep my gate from shifting out of place with the wind. Very pleased with the quality and the price…

I purchased two pairs of this product based on Adjusted a Gate recommendations. It comes with wood screws which don’t match with attaching to Adjusted a Gate metal frame. Had to purchase different screws to attach. Not a big deal but another run to the hardware store.

Perfect for my needs which was a trailer pin lock. Would have preferred stainless steel but this pin will fit the bill.

Very solid and holds one side of our driveway gate well with a smaller 48” gate banging into it every time it’s used

Excellent

Good

Parfait pour nos besoins, facile d’installation et utilisation.
