Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to close or hangs unevenly.
Check the alignment and security of the T-hinges. Ensure they are properly seated and screwed in. Adjust hinge placement if necessary.
Brenton bolt is stiff or doesn't slide smoothly.
Ensure the bolt is aligned correctly with its housing. Check for any obstructions or debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant if needed.
Twisted Ring Gate Latch is hard to operate or doesn't engage properly.
Verify that the latch components are perfectly aligned. Check for any warping in the gate or post that might be affecting operation. Ensure no screws are overtightened, binding the mechanism.
Rust spots appear on the black finish.
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Apply a rust inhibitor or a thin layer of clear sealant designed for powder-coated metal to protect the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Plan Placement: Determine the optimal positions for the T-hinges, Brenton bolt, and gate latch on your gate and post.
- Install Hinges: Attach the T-hinges to the gate and post using the provided matching screws. Ensure the gate hangs straight.
- Install Bolt: Fit the Brenton bolt according to its design, typically into the gate edge and post for primary securing.
- Install Latch: Mount the Twisted Ring Gate Latch components to the gate and post, aligning them so the latch mechanism engages correctly.
- Test Operation: Open and close the gate to ensure all hardware functions smoothly.
Compatibility:

Care:
