How do I maintain the black finish?

Can this gate be installed on existing brick pillars?

Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to close or latch.
Check if the gate posts are plumb and securely set. Ensure the gate is hanging correctly on its hinges. Adjust the position of the latch or strike plate if necessary. Make sure no debris is obstructing the gate's path.
Hinges are squeaking.
Lubricate the hinges with a suitable metal lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or silicone spray). Apply sparingly and wipe away any excess.
Powder coating appears chipped or scratched.
Clean the affected area. For minor chips or scratches, use a metal-specific touch-up paint in a matching black color to prevent rust and maintain aesthetics.
Gate does not swing freely.
Inspect the hinges for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the gate is not rubbing against the ground or posts. Verify that the posts are stable and not leaning.
