Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this latch, you will need to source your own wood screws or carriage bolts depending on your gate's material density and thickness.
- Positioning: Align the thumb-press unit on the outside of the gate and the latch bar on the inside, ensuring the thumb lever can move freely through the drilled hole.
- Drilling: Measure carefully for the thumb lever hole; a slightly oversized hole allows for smooth movement.
- Mounting: Secure the backplates using appropriate exterior-grade fixings.
- Maintenance: While the silver finish is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to periodically spray the moving pivot points with a light silicone-based lubricant to maintain smooth operation. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth if salt buildup occurs.
