Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions around the gate or frame. Ensure hinges are properly aligned and lubricated if necessary. Verify that the ground mounting is stable and not shifting.
Lock or handle mechanism is stiff
Inspect the lock and handle mechanism for debris. A light application of a suitable lubricant might resolve stiffness. Ensure the lock keep is correctly aligned with the lock bolt.
Gate appears to be sagging
Verify that all hinges are securely fastened to both the gate and the mounting surface. Check that the gate is not exceeding its intended weight limit (though aluminium is light, extreme external forces should be avoided).
Surface marks or scuffs
Gently clean the affected area with a mild, soapy water solution and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive materials.
