Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard tools such as a drill and a screwdriver or wrench, depending on the fasteners chosen. Select fixings that are appropriate for your gate material (e.g., coach bolts for timber, machine screws for metal).
- Ensure gates are closed and properly aligned.
- Position the loop on the leading gate to determine the optimal strike location.
- Mark the drill holes, drill pilot holes, and secure the bracket firmly.
To maintain the galvanised finish, periodically inspect the surface for deep scratches that could lead to oxidation. Touching up any exposed metal with a cold-galvanising spray can extend the life of the unit in harsh coastal or high-moisture environments.
