Would RecommendI does the job but seems a little thinner than my older one which got bent. Have to position just right, there is no play in the hinge so if not perfectly placed or aligned it won’t close or it difficult to open. For the price it is worth what I paid

does the job
Would Not Recommendit's ok, but it seems like it is designed to stay up when you open the gate, but that makes it kinda clunky when trying to bring it down to latch the gate closed. if the store had the double flap style that automatically latches when the gate is closed, I would have bought that instead.

gate latch to keep dogs out of that area
Would RecommendI bought the gate and the kit so my dogs did noyt have access to that part of the yard next to my deck .I did turn the gate it was 4 feet high and 3 1/2 feet wide and turned it so it was 3 1/2 feet high and 4 feet wide as dogs are smaller . It was really simple to do .I am a 69 year old woman and can do it

Missing bolt
Simple gate latch, no thrills but gets the job done. I removed stars, because Lowes only shipped me one bolt. It is supposed to be attached using two. Now I have to make a separate trip to the hardware store, defeating the convenience of ordering online.
