N177-188 V835 Cane Bolt in Black,1/2" x 18"

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]

Update: First cane bolt worked well on our main shed door, so i installed a second. Took me about 15 mins even with having to notch wood on the door.Make sure you plan out component placement before drilling screw holes as each door can be different from the illustration on the back of the package. Even my dual shed doors required different layouts for range of travel needed for each cane bolt, etc. Original review: The parts and the installation are pretty straight forward. Parts are of good quality, and are coated to protect against corrosion. My plan is to simply let this cane bolt drop on my lawn to keep my shed open, but depending on how that works, I may have to put a pipe in the ground as the directions suggest (note that the pipe isn't included). Haven't completed the install yet - just templated it and have to drill a notch on my door for the bolt to clear (likely just specific to my application), but once I have some experience with the use of it, I'll post an update and some pics.

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

We have a wooden double gate on the side of the house next to our bedroom. A windy night can make it very annoying. This worked out great. I hammered a half inch copper pipe into the ground. This just slides inside so that there is no room for it to shake in the wind. Eighteen inches is enough so I don't have to reach down too far and I don't open it that often. Easy to install. Includes a bracket to hold the bar when it is up, two brackets to mount the bar and enough wood screws to secure it. Chrome finish looks great.

We just moved into a new house that has an RV access. Double wide gate with an anchor to hold one side in place with a latch to hold the other side to the anchored. We had some crazy 25+ mph winds with a big storm a few weeks ago that blew the one half of the gate open. This happened twice within a week. Decided to buy this to anchor the other half down. Simple install as i already had a masonry drill bit. Lined everything up and screwed into place. The gate has not blown open since.

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.

Sturdy, well made, perfect for our needs. All hardware supplied, screws, brackets, and easy to follow instructions, though with this type of hardware, well, it ought to be one of those that installation should be self-explanatory and only a two year old would need the instructions. At any rate, we measured where we wanted to install the drop down bolt, drilled start up holes for the screws, applied some WD-40 so the screws would go in without much of a problem, and the bolt was ready to go. A good, solid product, fast delivery, easy to install, very happy with our purchase, but then it's hard to go wrong with a Stanley Hardware and Amazon combo.

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.

Good quality, as shown good size. I installed this on the inside of my external side entrance to the house down below the knob near the bottom of the door. I installed this after my side door lock was picked recently. Nobodys gonna be able to kick that door in now without making alot of noise first. It's as shown and comes with two sizes of large screws to put it in. Took me 10 mins, and Voila.

It does the job!

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

Product was of good quality and easy to install the shipping was horrible 3+ weeks to get it amazon is starting to slip

Excellent
