Q: Which Gecko Gauge do I need for my siding?
A: The Gecko Gauges are separated by the thickness of siding being installed. We have models for 5/16”, 7/16”, 3/8”, and 5/8”. The thickness of siding each model is intended for is listed in that Gecko Gauges description on our website.
Q: Do you have a Gecko Gauge that will support 12” tall 3/8” thick siding? I need to do a reveal larger than 8”.
A: Unfortunately, we do not currently make a Gecko Gauge that will support reveals higher than 8” on 3/8” thick siding.
Q: Are replacement parts for the Gecko Gauge available?
A: Yes, we sell the majority of parts in our replacement parts kits, RK902 and RK903, dependent on whether you have one of the 903 models or 902 models. The parts not included in this kit are the nylon straps that the cam handle presses into. Those straps are purchasable separately, part # 90206-4.
Q: What are the minimum and maximum reveals possible with Gecko Gauges?
A: Depending on the model of gauge, we can handle 4”-8” reveals .There is also an extension kit available (SA90202.12) that works with our model SA902 which will accommodate 10”, 10.75”, and 11.5” reveals on 5/16” thick siding only.
Q: Will Gecko Gauges mar or damage pre-painted siding?
A: The plastic Gecko Gauges are completely safe on pre-painted siding when using the gauge properly and not over-tightening the gauge. The metal versions, however, will leave marks on pre-painted siding.
Q: On the Gecko Gauge, how much should I tighten the gauge on the siding?
A: You want a snug fit on the siding. The tightening lever should make no less than a 45 degree angle with the upper half of the siding. Overtightening can cause the gauge to pull away from the wall at the top. That is how you can tell if the gauge is too tight.
