So, we have this interior gate installed on the second-floor landing here at Tradition Manor. The gate is designed to keep children, pets and drunks from falling down the spiral staircase from that second-floor landing.
Anyway, over the years it got saggy, and you had to lift up on the gate in order to strike the latch and secure the gate.
I was thinking that corner braces might fix this problem and I was right! I found some decorative book shelf brackets at the big box store that were the right size.
Here's the part that I'm so proud about: I lifted the gate one-half inch ABOVE the latch strike point, installed the corner braces, and PERFECTION!
The gate is now perfectly square like it was when new and hits the latch just right!
Here's a pic:
Git 'er DONE!
