Troubleshooting
Gate does not close or lock properly.
Check if the ground is level and if the ground pin is aligned with its receptacle. Ensure the gate posts are plumb and that the gate is not sagging. Adjust hinges or posts as needed. Verify the lock mechanism is correctly installed and free of obstructions.
Gate is difficult to open or close.
Inspect hinges for stiffness or damage. Lubricate hinges if necessary. Check for any obstructions in the gate's path, such as uneven ground or debris. Ensure the gate is properly aligned within its frame.
Posts seem unstable.
If posts are newly installed, ensure they were set deep enough and in stable ground. If already installed, check the integrity of the ground fixing. Re-setting posts in concrete may be required for maximum stability.
Visible signs of rust appearing.
Clean the rusted area thoroughly with a wire brush. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by an anthracite-colored metal paint to match the gate's finish and protect the steel.

- Lock Installation: Install the lock mechanism and handle onto the gate as per the included instructions. Attach the ground pin to the bottom of the gate.

- The posts are 6 cm wide; ensure this is compatible with your existing post mounting options if not using new posts.
Care:
- Periodically check the hinges and lock mechanism for smooth operation.
- Clean the steel surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Inspect for any signs of rust and address them promptly with appropriate metal sealant or paint to maintain corrosion resistance.
