FAQs

What is the exact size of the gate?

The gate is designed to fit a gap of 3048 mm (10 ft) wide and 1168 mm (3 ft 10 in) high. The physical dimensions of the gates are slightly smaller to accommodate the hinges and latch mechanism.

Does the gate come painted?

The gate is supplied primed black and requires painting with a suitable exterior metal paint after installation.

Are screws included with the fittings pack?

No, screws are not included in the fittings pack. You will need to source appropriate screws for installation separately.

Can the hinges be adjusted?

Yes, the gate features adjustable hinges which allow for levelling during installation.

Which side is the closing bolt on?

The closing bolt is located on the right-hand side when viewed from the road.

Is this gate suitable for very windy areas?

The robust steel construction provides good wind resistance. However, ensure posts are firmly set and the gate is properly secured, especially in exposed locations.

What maintenance is required?

Regular inspection and touch-up of the paintwork are essential to prevent rust. Keep hinges and latches clean and lubricated.

Troubleshooting

Gate is not hanging level.

Utilize the adjustable hinges. Loosen the bolts, adjust the hinge height, and re-tighten to achieve a level hang.

Gate is difficult to close.

Check for obstructions or ground interference. Ensure hinges and latch mechanism are clean and free of debris. Re-adjust hinges if necessary.

Rust spots appearing on the surface.

Clean the affected area thoroughly, remove all rust with a wire brush, apply a metal primer, and repaint with a suitable exterior metal paint. Ensure entire gate is adequately coated.

Hinges are stiff or noisy.

Clean the hinges and apply a small amount of suitable lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the gate gap measures precisely 3048 mm wide and 1168 mm high. Remember the gate itself is smaller than the gap to allow for hardware.
  2. Attach the adjustable hinges to the gate and the corresponding posts or wall.
  3. Mount the gate using the provided fittings pack. Adjust hinges as needed for perfect alignment and smooth operation.
  4. Install the closing bolt on the right-hand stile (when viewed from the road).
  5. Crucially, prepare and paint the gate with a suitable exterior metal paint. Apply multiple coats for best protection, paying attention to welds and edges.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to fit a gap of 3048 mm (10 ft) wide and 1168 mm (3 ft 10 in) high.
  • Requires sturdy gate posts or wall supports capable of handling the weight and forces exerted by the gate.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the painted finish for chips or scratches. Touch up with appropriate metal primer and paint as needed to prevent rust.
  • Clean the gate periodically with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure hinges and the closing mechanism remain free of debris and lubricate lightly if necessary.
