Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, verify that your gate frame and post are level. Mark the positions for the hooks on plates first, ensuring they are perfectly aligned vertically. Once the plates are secured, attach the bands to the gate. Use the adjustment threads to shift the gate position until the latch aligns correctly. Maintenance involves checking the bolts annually for tightness and applying a light machine oil to the hinge pin area if any squeaking occurs. Periodically inspect the powder-coated finish for chips; touching these up with exterior-grade black enamel paint will prevent localized corrosion.
