What are the dimensions of the eye bolt?

Troubleshooting

Gate is not level after installation.

Loosen the nuts on the eye bolt and adjust its position or thread depth until the gate is level. Tighten the nuts securely.

Eye bolt is difficult to thread.

Ensure the gate pin or hook is clean and free of debris. Verify that the gate pin is exactly 20mm in diameter to match the eye bolt's M20 thread size.

Rust spots appearing on the eye bolt.

While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to harsh environments can cause minor surface rust. Clean the area and consider applying a rust inhibitor or re-applying a zinc-rich paint for added protection.
