/diy/ - Do It Yourself

No pic available. Wakandans hired by corporate landlord to repair a worn property gate. They abandon handle, latch and spring system provided. Change swing direction of gate to friction fit close against an opposite concrete column. Every use of this gate involves pulling on the no handle gate wood and breaking the scrape friction of the wood plates against the concrete. The gate does not close naturally or open in a techtonically coherent way. If I go to the butcher, buy chicken feet and nail one to the gate, will it work better?
