Full details
The Ready Made Gates Pedestrian Gate in Grey (RMG001PG) is ideal for homeowners seeking maximum property protection and a modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is providing complete privacy with a robust yet lightweight aluminum construction. A potential consideration is that while aluminum is low maintenance, it's a different material to maintain than traditional wood or iron gates. This fully boarded gate features a vertical solid infill and flat top, offering a streamlined appearance. Key features include its corrosion resistance, weather durability, and ease of installation.

Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to close or latch.
Check if the gate frame or posts have shifted. Ensure hinges are properly tightened and aligned. Verify that the lock keep on the post is correctly positioned relative to the lock mechanism on the gate.
The powder coating appears scratched or damaged.
For minor scratches, a touch-up paint specific for powder-coated aluminium might be available from the manufacturer. Avoid using abrasive materials during cleaning.
Hinges squeak or are stiff.
Clean the hinges thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant suitable for outdoor metal applications. Do not use oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
Gate does not hang level.
This may indicate an issue with the post or wall mounting. Re-check the level of the posts/wall supports and adjust hinge positions if possible, or reinforce the mounting points.
