I used toilet bowl wax on the first one. Saw blocks of beeswax while I was in the hardware store and tried that on the second one. A lot easier. Used beeswax on the rest of them. I think toilet bowl wax used to bee beeswax.
zipbolts are crap, ive gone through 3 of them and each one broke at the joint or the "spinning" bolt stripped and broke. once its on it will never come off. its crappy a chinese product
Good brief video of install procedure. I advise prospective consumers to get the manual latch mechanism over the magnet because magnets lose their magnetism over time especially when hit together with the repeated closing of the door. Why, you might ask? Because, magnetic dipoles at the atomic level are oriented in parallel & in same polarity & when heated or hammered these dipoles are deviated in random directions thereby reducing the net magnetic field; eventually the magnetic property becomes so weak that it can no longer defeat the spring tension of the screen & it will fail to effectively retain closure of the door. Treat & maintain the latch closure with care & it will last much longer than the magnetic closure.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge. I need to attach 29" legs to the bottom of the table, and was not sure if to use just 5/16" hanger bolt or to put it into some insert or teenut. May i ask what size of the nail was used, it is #18? Thank you.
These are GARBAGE!!!! The cam stripped on first one and I had to cut the bolt with sawzall. Ok,,,my bad. I used impact like he demonstrated but maybe too much speed. So I go another one, this time using a rachet and socket with the bit provided. Stripped again while struggling to draw rail tight to newel. It won't do that either. Now I have holes for using this product which won't work.
I've used these products all over the balustrades in our 50+ year old home. Nothing lasts forever, but but these are cheap, easy and really strong. (My 3 year old grandson can hang on them, and he does.) Great for newel posts. Read the instructions carefully. Most are common sense, but, like all projects, think every aspect through in advance. Good luck to the next people who buy our house. They will not have a clue as to how everything holds together.
Super helpful for reinstalling our stairway balusters after getting new hardwood floors. Our home was built in 1910, so we're trying to save what we can from the stairway. Appreciate this video! Just purchased the fasteners from your website too.
Must all run with electricity? I'm interested in providing something around my 16ftx9ft garden. Due to distance from the house-no electricity. After viewing some of ya'lls sites, I noticed some people after walking in like sliding doors were just "closed" by some people. Any pointers/suggestions? co$t$ estimates? would really appreciate ya'lls time. Thank You .
is the newel post and the cap a different wood type? Poplar vs Red oak? I know its a small detail but I wonder if they have the kits specific to the wood type so it matches and you can get the grain direction closer. thank you
