Troubleshooting
Hinge squeaks or is stiff during operation
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a dry lubricant spray to the hinge pin. Ensure no excess lubricant drips onto finished surfaces.
Door/gate is sagging or not closing properly
Verify that all mounting screws are tight. Check if the hinge is appropriately rated for the weight of the door/gate. Consider adding additional hinges or reinforcing the mounting surface.
Visible rust spots developing
This is rare due to the protective treatments. Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. For persistent spots, a light application of a metal polish designed for coated surfaces might be used sparingly, followed by a wipe-down.
