Does this latch come with mounting hardware?
While the product includes the latch assembly, please ensure you have screws appropriate for the specific thickness and material of your gate frame.
Is the finish resistant to outdoor elements?

Troubleshooting
Latch bolt is hard to slide
Check for debris in the mechanism, apply a silicone-based lubricant, and ensure the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the metal frame.
Latch does not align with the strike plate
Loosen the mounting screws slightly and adjust the positioning of the latch assembly. If necessary, use a shim behind the latch or strike plate to achieve a flush alignment.
Pros and Cons

- Extra long 430 mm reach for specific frame requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard household tools including a drill, drill bits, and a screwdriver. Begin by holding the latch against the desired gate frame to ensure the bolt aligns perfectly with the strike plate or receiving area. Mark the screw holes with a pencil before drilling to avoid splitting the wood or damaging the metal.
For ongoing care, it is recommended to apply a light machine oil to the moving parts twice a year to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Keep the strike area clear of debris or paint buildup, which can obstruct the latch bolt from sliding freely.
