Sometimes the cheap thing just works better.

That $6 turnbuckle kit is a band-aid that bites you later, hate to say it. On a heavy cedar gate the wood keeps moving with every wet season, so the brace just fights it and eventually the frame twists or the screws tear out. New hinges and a proper rehang cost more up front but you won't be back out there next spring doing it again.

Noticed the same thing with car dashboards, bright screens at night hurt way more than they help.
