Troubleshooting
Gate still sags after installation
Ensure the turnbuckle is fully tightened and the cable is taut. Check that the corner brackets are securely fastened to the gate frame. Verify the diagonal bracing is within the 7.5' limit.
Cable seems too short or too long
Confirm you are using the correct length of cable and that it is attached properly to the brackets with the rope clips. Adjustments are made via the turnbuckle.
Rust spots appearing on the kit
While designed for corrosion resistance, extreme conditions can sometimes cause minor surface rust. Gently clean with a soft brush and consider applying a protective clear coat for added defense.
Difficulty turning the turnbuckle
Ensure the cable is not excessively tight before attempting to turn. Clean any debris from the turnbuckle threads. If it remains stiff, a small amount of penetrating oil might help.
