Can I replace the lock if I lose my keys?

Troubleshooting
Post is difficult to fold down
Check the hinge point for debris or dirt and apply a light lubricant if the movement is stiff.
Base is becoming loose
Check the anchor bolts and tighten them with the appropriate wrench; if the concrete has chipped, you may need to relocate the post or use resin anchors.
Locking mechanism feels stuck
Spray a small amount of penetrating oil into the keyhole and ensure no debris is obstructing the locking bolt.
Pros and Cons

- Easy to fold down for quick vehicle access

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a level concrete surface and an electric masonry drill for the floor anchors. 1. Position the post in the desired location and mark the anchor holes. 2. Drill the holes according to the anchor bolt specifications. 3. Secure the base plate firmly using the provided bolts. Ensure the post is aligned so the locking mechanism faces the direction of entry for easy access. For maintenance, it is recommended to apply a light machine oil to the hinge points every six months to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Periodically check that the base bolts remain tight, as vibration from frequent lowering can cause them to loosen over time.
