Is this gate suitable for windy areas?
Yes, aluminium is robust and the solid infill provides good resistance to wind. Ensuring secure installation is key for performance in any weather.
Can I paint this gate a different colour?
The gates come with a powder-coated finish. While painting is possible, it requires proper preparation and may void the warranty. Custom colours are available from the manufacturer.

Each double driveway gate includes 4 x RMGA03 Large Wall mounted hinges and 2 x RMGA04 Floor mounted hinges as standard.
How long does the manufacturer's guarantee last?
The gate comes with a five-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Can this gate be installed on a slope?
Installation on a slope is possible, but requires careful consideration of hinge placement and gate clearance to ensure smooth operation. The floor hinges may need to be adjusted accordingly.
Is the aluminium susceptible to corrosion?
No, aluminium is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor use and varying weather conditions. Unlike other metals, it will not rust.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not swing freely
Check that hinges are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Ensure there are no obstructions in the gate's path. Verify that the gate is not sagging due to improper hinge installation or wall/floor support.
Gate appears misaligned or uneven
Re-check hinge installation for levelness and plumbness. Adjust hinges as needed. For automated gates, check the alignment of the automation tracks or rams.
Powder coat finish is scratched or damaged
For minor scratches, touch-up paint designed for powder-coated aluminium can be used. For significant damage, consult a professional for repainting or repair. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Automation system is not responding
Refer to the specific automation system's troubleshooting guide. Check power supply, remote control batteries, and safety sensors. Ensure the gate itself moves freely manually.
