Onward No-Sag Gate Bracket Kit
A diagonal bracing kit that keeps a wood gate or shed door from sagging over time, using a turnbuckle-style brace across the frame's diagonal instead of relying on the hinges alone to carry the weight. Rated to 100 lb.
The kit fits openings from 25 in. to 72 in. wide and works with either a left- or right-hand swing. Lumber for the gate frame is sold separately; this is hardware only.

How to Install
- Assemble the wood gate or shed door frame to the opening width you're bracing (25 in. to 72 in.); lumber is not included in the kit.
- Run the brace from the bottom hinge-side corner to the top latch-side corner, which is the diagonal that resists sag.
- Screw the two brackets with hinges attached at the top and bottom of the hinge-side corner using the included screws.
- Screw the remaining two brackets at the latch-side corner and connect the diagonal brace between both corners, tightening until the frame sits square.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the widest gate this will brace?
72 in. wide. For anything wider, you'll need a different bracing approach or a heavier-duty kit.
Does it come with a latch or extra hinges?
No. This kit is the anti-sag bracket and brace only; two of the four brackets have hinges built in, but a separate gate latch is not included.
Left or right swing?
Either. The kit isn't handed, so it works for a gate swinging either direction.
