Troubleshooting
Gate does not swing freely
Check for obstructions, ensure hinges are correctly aligned, and verify that the gate is not sagging. Tighten hinge screws if necessary.
Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the lock mechanism and apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant. Ensure the lock keep is aligned correctly with the latch.
Gate appears loose on hinges
Tighten the bolts on the hinges that connect to the gate and the mounting surface (wall/post).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care:
