FAQs
What material is the gate ironmongery kit made from?
The kit, particularly the twisted ring gate latch, is made from iron with a black powder-coated finish.
Can this kit be used for external garden gates?

What components are included in the kit?
The kit includes 3 T-hinges, 1 Brenton bolt, and 1 twisted ring gate latch, along with matching fixing screws.
Is the twisted ring gate latch accessible from both sides?
Yes, the twisted ring gate latch is designed to be accessible and operable from both sides of the gate.
What are the dimensions of the twisted ring gate latch?
The twisted ring gate latch is 300mm in length.
Does the kit come with installation instructions?
While detailed instructions are not provided, the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section in this guide offers step-by-step advice for installation.
How should I clean and maintain the black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For external use, periodic lubrication of moving parts is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Gate sagging after hinge installation.
Ensure hinges are securely fastened and aligned correctly. For heavier gates, consider adding an additional hinge or checking the gate post's stability.
Brenton bolt is difficult to slide.
Check for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure the gate and frame are not warped. Lightly lubricate the bolt mechanism.
Twisted ring latch is stiff or doesn't engage properly.
Verify that the keeper plate on the frame/post is aligned correctly with the latch bolt. Clean any debris from the mechanism and lubricate the moving parts.
Screws do not tighten securely.
Ensure you are using appropriate pilot holes for the wood type. If the hole is stripped, you may need to use a larger screw or an anchor appropriate for wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:

Compatibility:

Care:

- Periodically check screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary.
- For external use, occasional application of a light oil to moving parts (latch mechanism) can ensure smooth operation.
