Troubleshooting
Latch is stiff to operate
Ensure there are no obstructions. Check that mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the mechanism. Lightly clean any dust or debris from the moving parts.
Gate or door does not align with latch
Adjust the position of the latch or the strike plate (if applicable) on the door or frame. Ensure the gate or door is properly hung and not sagging.
Green finish appears to be fading
This latch is designed for light-duty use. Prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight or extreme weather may affect the finish over time. Consider relocating to a more sheltered area if this is a concern.
