How to re-caulk a shower

How to remove old grout and replace with caulking.
Rather than pinching the cable with pliers, and damaging it, run it through a thimble. Thimbles are available at most hardware stores or rigging supply outlets.
I would’ve just changed that piece of wood to a 2 x 4
Will this fix a warped wooden gate
Any thoughts on how to make this work on a vinyl gate?
It appears you installed it in the wrong corners? Maybe just a visual flaw, gates sag at the opening latch not at the hinge side.
Would you mind sharing with me how to purchase the kit?
Cool! Thank you!
You kind of ruin the meaning of extraordinaire when you spell it wrong!
Thanks for posting! It made the job easy.
Nope
Love that vise-grip trick!
Why didn't you have it latch into a hole someone can just push the gate super hard forward and break all that shit
I just posted a similar video on my channel but instead of recessing the lock I used a 2x6 and had strike plates for the deadbolt to secure into the other side. This makes it more like an actual door if anyone is interested
search for " long throw gate mate lock " much easier to install. .
Could add metal plate for added security.
People. If you dont want to screw up your hardware the very first time you use it. DO NOT use tools with teeth on something like a smooth nut. Use the proper tools. Such as a socket, nut driver, box end wrench, even a crescent wrench. The teeth in those pliers will make it to where, nothing else will fit it anymore.
Read the replies. Yes, he installed it correctly as some have pointed out. The only thing that bothered me was using pliers.
I did this 20 years ago... i love it!!!!!!!!!!! to me so much safer. I had key lock on the outside.. and on the inside the turner like you would have in the house. That way in an emergency.. I could get out of the yard.. and anyone needing to come in would need a key. I laugh now.. several people I asked to do this for me thought I was crazy.. UNTIL they saw it done. I thank my room mate at the time Tim Leesley for getting the job done. I think we had it reversed.. the to unge going into the gate.. but either way works.. and you dont have to worry about pad locks.. I had mine keyed to match my security door. GREAT IDEA!
good video 5/5
Thank you, thank you..... now I can fix my gate.
Great video until he started mentioning pressure super full of shi t
Thank you Ricardo !!
I believe he put the cable on the wrong ends. The way he set it up it pulls the gate down not up!
That second turnbuckle fastener looked like it was torqued to 22.5 ft lbs.... Nice Job!
Put a brick or piece of wood under the gate to bring it up to level before installing the kit. This will give you a little bit more room for adjustment in the future cause chances are it will sag a bit more in the years to come.
Great info but you can also use some drills to make the project go faster😉
You installed it wrong... You're supposed to put the top part of the gate tensioner on the hinge side and the bottom part of the tensioner on the latch side... The latch side is always the side that will sag. I know what I'm talking about because I've been doing home renovations for 28 years now!
I was thinking the same thing. It’s basic engineering.
What kind of caulk are you using - sanded ceramic tile caulk?
Would of been nice to say what size hole cutter and drill bit you used
The part you put the key into is a “2 1/8 hole saw”, and the part you install into the side of the door is a “1 inch hole saw”. I don’t know what he used, but a “standard” doors is what I listed. Hope this helped.
You can get the lock jig online or at homedepot store that comes ready with the jog and hole saws
good stuff you did - but doesnt it also cause the gate to bend forward/ or backward ? seems the force action would cause it to buckle inward - or may it also cause it to crush inward / corner to corner ? seems it would make the gate/door out of square too ... opinions ?
I prefer to build with woodprix plans.

Love these plans. good tip Vadym
Thanks a lot Vadym
I heard about woodprix instructions good opinions.
I made similar with woodprix instructions :)
Enjoy woodprix woodworking instructions.
Ricardo was only trying to show how to install the kit, not which way to install it. Ricardo knows that you will run yours from the outside bottom to the hinge side at the top. Now come on guys, that's the easy part. The hard part is to do all the stuff he did which I would probably wind up crimping my hand with the vice grips and getting a wicked blood blister. Or trip over the drill's cord, or worse lock myself inside my gate, then not be able to go inside for all the tools I forgot. Then the dog would get out and run through the neighborhood, and chase the ice cream truck. All in all, a good installation video of the hardest part of installation. And extremely fast job - I would take about 3 hours to do this.
Also, it would be nice to have a kit that did not have 90 degree corner braces or at least ones where you could bend it a little. Some gates are deliberately angled up or down terrain and may be 89 degrees or whatever. In this case, I would have to make a slit in the metal or something to skew it a little. That might weaken the piece. Or perhaps just make custom braces with the proper angle.
Or perhaps use an eyehook approach.

What about a steel gate frame? How would you install a deadbolt onto that?
ReaperXC there is actually a metal set ready made that has to be cut to fit in the frame and install the lock and dead bolt. Wrought iron supplys has it

Won't open out when it's locked but you could sure kick it in pretty easy
Hello, can this be put on the outside facing part of the gate as well. My gate has so much jimmy rigging there seems to be no place for the pieces. Please kindly help,
ty 5 gud video hav a nice dai
Wow, take a pill.
You should go to WoodPrix if you'd like to make it yourself guys :)
you should install a YARDLOCK on your next video.
Don Wepf don't hold your breath for a next video, all the existing ones are five years old. If he does, maybe he'll use an exterior grade lock.
Idiot, there is no time limit on a video. No expiration date silly. You obviously watched it 5 years later. You are one of those forum Nazi's that call out other people that are looking for help and make them feel bad.
jim davidson I know I did; so did don, but I'm not sure he noted the date. 👍
He installed it correctly, he has his gate door swung open to the left, the latch to lock the gate is on the left side.
Do you recommend silicone or latex or silicone latex blend caulk?
better put one on the inside and outside or the bottom corner will bow in.
Oops for the recess! a couple of tricks. Screw the small hole saw into the size you want to make bigger, like stack them together, it will guide the bigger saw in... Hole cut. Or cut a hole in a bit of scrap the larger size, place it over the smaller hole, clamp and use this as a guide for the bigger hole cut. I have no help if you want to drill a smaller hole that what you have drilled! :)
I love caulk
iDX1701 You spelled it wrong. 😊
Nice video I call it caulk not caulking
Best video I've seen out of about 12. Thank you! Love the screwdriver trick...and the advice to get all the old caulking out
