From the Manufacturer Stanley-National Hardware has been a leading manufacturer of hardware for more than a century. Over the course of the last 160-plus years, Stanley-National is a name that has become synonymous with quality, innovation, and customer service.

Review: Sturdy and easy to install on large privacy fence gate - 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]
Review: Nice cane bolt! - 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 desertcart 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.
