FAQs

What is the exact width of the gates themselves?

The gates are designed to fit a 3353mm (10ft) post-to-post gap. The physical width of the gates will be less than this measurement to allow for hinge and latch clearance, ensuring proper operation.

Are screws included for installation?

No, screws for installation are not included. You will need to provide your own appropriate fixings.

How often should I paint the gates?

It is recommended to inspect and possibly repaint the gates every couple of years to ensure their longevity and maintain their appearance, especially after the initial setup.

What is the height of the gates?

The side shoulder height is 820mm, and the height to the top of the ball finial is 915mm.

Will the number of ball tops be the same on all gate sizes?

No, the number of ball tops and infill bars will vary according to the width chosen to maintain proportion.

Are these gates pre-assembled?

The gates are constructed from solid metal components. While the main gate structure is assembled, you will need to attach the hardware like hanging brackets, rocker latch, and drop bolt during installation.

What does 'electro galvanized' mean for rust resistance?

Electro galvanization is a process where a thin layer of zinc is electroplated onto the metal. This provides a protective barrier against corrosion, enhancing the gate's resistance to rust.

Troubleshooting

Gates do not close properly

Check if the post-to-post gap is correct (3353mm). Ensure hinges and latch mechanisms are correctly aligned and not obstructed. Adjust brackets or gate position if necessary.

Rust spots appearing

Clean the rust spot with a wire brush. Apply a metal primer and then repaint the affected area with a suitable exterior metal paint. Regular maintenance painting will prevent this.

Hanging brackets seem loose

Ensure the screws or bolts used to attach the brackets to the posts are fully tightened. If mounting to wood, check for wood rot and use appropriate fixings.

Drop bolt is stiff

Lubricate the drop bolt mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant or a light oil. Ensure the ground spike or receiving hole is clear of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have sturdy gate posts installed that are capable of supporting the weight of solid metal gates.
  2. The gates are designed to fit a specific post-to-post gap of 3353mm (10ft). The physical width of the gates will be less than this gap to allow for hinges and latch mechanisms.
  3. Attach the included hanging brackets to your posts and the corresponding points on the gate.
  4. Mount the gates onto the brackets.
  5. Install the rocker latch and drop bolt mechanism on the gate and post.
  6. Note: Screws for installation are not provided and must be sourced separately.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for a 3353mm (10ft) post-to-post gap.
  • Compatible with most standard gate post materials (wood, metal, brick).

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the gates for any signs of damage or rust.
  • Clean with a damp cloth as needed.
  • To ensure a long life and maintain appearance, it is recommended to inspect and potentially repaint the gates every couple of years, particularly in areas prone to moisture or wear.
