Do I need to buy screws separately?

Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation.
Check that all screws are fully tightened. If the mounting surface is soft, consider using longer screws or appropriate wall anchors for a more secure fit.
Difficulty opening/closing the gate/door after handle installation.
Ensure the handle is aligned correctly and not interfering with the gate/door's swing. Check that the gate/door itself is operating smoothly on its hinges or track.
Visible rust spots on the handle.
This is rare with galvanised steel but can occur. Clean the affected area gently with a soft brush and water. For persistent spots, apply a rust inhibitor or a suitable metal paint designed for galvanized surfaces.
