National Mfg N166-004 Anti Sag Gate Kit Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N166-004 is a complete anti-sag gate kit designed to correct existing gate sag or prevent it from developing on wood gate installations. The kit ships with all hardware needed for a full tensioning setup: top and bottom corner brackets, cable clamps, a steel cable, a turnbuckle, and mounting screws. A black finish is applied over a Weatherguard Protection coating that resists corrosion and stands up to repeated exposure to moisture, UV, and temperature swings. At 2.97 pounds, the kit is lightweight enough to carry on a service truck as a standard stock item for fence and gate calls.

This kit is intended for exterior gate applications, primarily wood gates that have racked or are showing early signs of sag due to weight, seasonal movement, or frame stress. The corner bracket and cable-and-turnbuckle system redistributes load diagonally across the gate face, restoring square and extending service life. Typical install locations include residential fence gates, garden gates, and light commercial wood gates exposed to outdoor conditions. The included mounting hardware makes this a self-contained repair or preventive maintenance solution without requiring a separate fastener run.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a fencing contractor or experienced carpenter. Ensure the gate is temporarily braced square before mounting the corner brackets and tensioning the cable. Use appropriate wood fasteners for the gate material and follow the hardware layout included with the kit. Do not overtension the turnbuckle, as excessive cable tension can stress the gate frame joints.
