Introduzione

Vai al passo 1

If your wooden gate is not closing appropriately or latching as it should use this guide to repair your wooden gate. The gate allows you to keep pets from escaping the back yard. If the gate does not function properly it can allow your pets to escape from the back yard and roam. Before using this guide inspect your wooden gate to make sure there is no debris keeping the gate from latching or closing entirely. Step three requires you to use a power saw to remove a portion of the fence. From there you will need to replace the old latch with a new one and sand the sawed edge of the fence to ensure a smooth finish and that the gate closes and latches appropriately. Before beginning make sure everything is out of the way of the gate so that it can be fixed appropriately.
