Installation
The E-Z Brace is designed to come out of the box and onto the gate. It is fully preassembled and installs in minutes.
Tools needed for installation:
- Drill with 10mm or 3/8 socket
- Shovel
- Block of wood
Installation directions for existing or new gate:
- On an existing gate, remove diagonal cross brace if present.
- Install bottom brace one inch from end of gate on hinge side.
- Install top brace on bottom or rail on latch side.
- Use a block of wood and a shovel (as a lever and fulcrum) to raise the latch side of the gate one inch PAST desired level.
- Drive self-tapping screws into brace at desired extension, then drive the remaining wood screw with clamp into the centre rail of gate.
Pro tips: Telescopes out to work on gates that are up to 8’ high and 6’ wide. For wider gates you can install two side by side.
