Cut to Your Gate
The 20-foot cable can be cut during installation to fit a broad range of gate sizes.
The 20-Foot Stainless Steel Gate Anti-Sag Cable Kit adds adjustable diagonal support to wide or long aluminum swing gates. Installed from the lower hinge-side corner to the upper latch-side corner, the tensioned cable helps keep the gate frame square and reduces downward sag at the free end.
The kit includes a 20-foot stainless steel cable with a stainless steel hook-and-eye turnbuckle already connected, two 3/8″ × 4″ 304 stainless steel eye bolts, and one 5/32″ aluminum double-barrel crimp sleeve. Cut the cable to the exact length required, form the final loop with the sleeve, and fine-tune support with the turnbuckle.
A properly installed diagonal cable transfers adjustable support from the lower hinge side toward the upper latch side, helping counter the downward load at the gate’s free end.
The 20-foot cable can be cut during installation to fit a broad range of gate sizes.
Rotate the connected turnbuckle gradually after the gate frame has been aligned and squared.
Use one kit on a single swing gate or one kit on each double-gate leaf that needs support.
The diagonal cable supports the latch side of a properly constructed and hinged gate frame.
Every supplied component is stainless steel except the purpose-built aluminum crimp sleeve used to lock the cut cable loop.
Two 3/8″ × 4″ marine-grade 304 stainless steel eye bolts provide secure attachment points.
The stainless hook-and-eye turnbuckle arrives connected to the 20-foot cable.
The included 5/32″ double-barrel sleeve secures the cable at its finished length.
Inspect the cable and attachment points and make small tension corrections if the gate settles.
Included: One 20′ stainless steel cable with connected stainless steel hook-and-eye turnbuckle; two 3/8″ × 4″ 304 marine-grade stainless steel eye bolts with nuts and washers; and one 5/32″ aluminum double-barrel cable crimp sleeve.
Sold separately: Gate frame, posts, hinges, cable cutter, crimping tool, wrenches, and project-specific installation hardware.
Review the cable, eye-bolt, turnbuckle, and crimp-sleeve specifications before cutting or tensioning the cable.
Square and properly support the gate before adding cable tension. Tighten the turnbuckle gradually—excessive tension can pull the frame out of square or overload the hinges and attachment points.

It provides adjustable diagonal support that helps keep a swing-gate frame square and reduces downward sag at the latch side.
It is designed for framed aluminum single swing gates and double swing gate leaves, especially wide or long gates that benefit from diagonal support.
Use one kit for each gate leaf that requires support. A two-leaf gate may therefore require two kits.
Yes. Cut the 20-foot cable to the required length and use the included aluminum sleeve to form and secure the finished loop.
No. Damaged hinges, loose fasteners, weak posts, or frame damage must be corrected before the cable is tensioned.
One 20-foot stainless cable with connected turnbuckle, two 3/8″ × 4″ 304 stainless eye bolts with nuts and washers, and one 5/32″ aluminum double-barrel crimp sleeve.
The cable, turnbuckle, eye bolts, nuts, and washers are stainless steel. The cable crimp sleeve is aluminum.
Run it diagonally from the lower hinge-side corner to the upper latch-side corner so it supports the free end of the gate.
Square the gate first, then rotate the turnbuckle in small increments until the cable is firm. Do not overtighten.
Installation generally requires a drill and bits, wrenches, measuring tools, a wire-rope cable cutter, and a crimping or swaging tool suitable for the sleeve.
Yes. The supplied cable and primary hardware are stainless steel, and the crimp sleeve is aluminum. Inspect the assembly periodically.
