Can this be used on a shadow-box style wooden gate?

We had this product installed and it did not work for us -- unfortunately. We had a handyman make our gate less wide and now it doesn't sag. I doubt it would work well for any type fence considering our experience with it.

I don't know what a shadow-box style wooden gate is. But it sounds like the one pictured next to this question. I would assume that as long as there is a top and bottom and middle cross member of wood to screw into that are all in the same plane, then it should work for any gate that isn't too small or too big. The smallest would be when the cross brace is all the way closed together. The largest would be when the cross brace is all the way extended as long as there is enough overlap inside the two members of the brace to screw into each other to lock themselves into place.

I really don't think this will work for the shadow box style gate, I call those type gates board on board but as you can see from the picture there is now place to put the upper and lower cross support. You have to have horizontal wood going across your gate on the top and bottom and a center board on the outside, Those supports on this type gate are sandwiched in between the slats. Hope this helps...

If a shadow-box style means that the frame is square or rectangular, the answer is YES.

It depends on are you building the gate new then yes or is it existing then no. I say this because you need access to the gate's framing and cross members

If you attach a wood strip to the wall on each side of the gate, you will make a great anchor for the gate and it can narrow the opening. John

You can set the big closer arm in 45 degree increments, it's a square peg and a star hole. So you should be able to set it up any way that you like. I would only attempt this if you are pretty handy and will pay close attention to the instructions. But this is a pretty heavy closer. When i think of a wooden gate i think of something fairy light weight. This will put a serious twist in a lighter door. I would only use this on a solid core door, or something pretty substantial.

It should not be a problem to install on a wooden gate but my best answer is to call the company the tech dept has been very helpful as long as you have the patience to be put on hold for a while Not sure but the size of gate have to do with the lenght of the cycle since it is all about timing

You can angle it at any of those connecting points...so if you were ok with a curved gate it would work

The gate is pretty easy to use and I suspect it will work fine in a doorway that is not exactly, completely square...depending, of course, on how un-square the door in question really is.

Sorry I'm not really sure. I have a munchkin gate and it worked great. I had another gate (sorry I don't remember what kind) and the holes were too small in the gate for these.

It's a pretty generic setup. It should work with any type of gate that you screw into the wall. The product is basically a piece of wood you screw into the plastic clamps, then you screw your gate into the wood.

Doubt it. We were not happy whereas dimensions were not applicable. This must likely needs wood to anchor it securely..whereas you must screw it in. Also the extension does not nice it extends gate to size of extension not dims in between..falsely advertised!! Ended up having custom gate made.

No, the 2 mounting surfaces need to be in the same plane. Also the gate would need to be well balanced with good hinges to work.

Yes it can. I just finished installation yesterday and it is working fine. You need to move your pivot point closer to the post instead of 5 and 8 inches as they suggest in a manual. By the way I have double gates push to close.

I think you in theory could turn it sideways (if that's what you're thinking) and install in that way- or at an angle. Just make sure when you install your gate to the installation kit that you measure carefully and install level. As long as you fit it tight to the railing you should be good. Hope that helps!

I have mine on a tubular gate. Actually, I think it was easier to use because I just got some "U" bolts from the hardware store that had the appropriate spread to meet the lock. When I installed it, it worked out great. It locks tight and stays locked.

Probably not. It needs a very solid post underneath and the hardware that comes with it is for that exact purpose. We have ours mounted to a 4 x 4 inch piece of wood installed in cement. We really like it for lots of reasons, but you would have to buy different hardware to attach it to a gate or fence, and you might not be equally happy with the result

yes this will . but to hold the fence so it will not come off i would use a little glue and then use a 1 1/2 nail .this is the way i would do the job. i have worked in wood for 40 years.

It works on a large wooden gate because that is exactly what I used it on. Mine are 6 foot tall board on board. i used two of these on each of my gates to automatically close my gates to prevent dogs from escaping.
