Cat Flap in a Baby Gate 8 Steps with PicturesThis step is possibly optional, but I take no chances After lining up the bracers and placing them in the gate, mark which is the top and which is the bottom.Set the gate aside, and dig out your copper pipe retainer bracket things.If I ever remember what theyre really called, Ill fix this instructable up.Using your needlenose pliers and regular pliers, straighten the tabs so the bracket is U shaped, not speed bump shaped.This takes some practice, and I wish I had a video of this so you dont have to destroy as many of these as I did getting it right, but its mostly trial and error.Grab the flat tab as close to the bend as you can with the regular plier, then work the needlenose in as close as you can get it to the regular pliers nose on the other side of the bend.Straighten the bend slightly, then move the needlenose closer to the regular plier.Repeat until straightened.Because the brackets I got were only 12 I had to widen the large curve slightly to fit around the 1 end of the 1x.I could probably have made this look nicer instead of straigtening the 9.I could have added another 18 past the existing ones, so the 12 curve bend fit snug to the pipes and then the bracket itself would fit snug to the board.Ah, well. Test fit the now U brackets to the ends of your bracers, and mark the holes for drilling.Try to get the brackets in as close as possible, they should be tight when theyre finally attached.How To Install Gate House Hinge Pin Door Stop' title='How To Install Gate House Hinge Pin Door Stop' />
