Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Requirements:
Since the gate does not come with posts, ensure your existing mounting surface (be it brick, stone, or existing posts) is plumb and capable of supporting the gate's weight. The provided adjustable hinges offer some flexibility during setup. Verify your opening width matches the gate dimensions before mounting the wall brackets.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the black finish.
- Hardware Care: Periodically check that the hinge bolts and lock mechanism are tightened. A silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the lock barrel annually to ensure smooth operation.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh scrubbing brushes or abrasive cleaners, as these may scratch the powder-coated finish.
