Troubleshooting
Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide.
Check for any obstructions or debris in the bolt channel. Ensure the gate and frame are aligned correctly and not warped. Apply a light lubricant to the bolt mechanism.
Screws do not tighten properly.
Ensure you are using appropriate screws for the gate material. If mounting on wood, use screws that are long enough to grip securely. For metal, consider using bolts with nuts or self-tapping screws if appropriate.
Bolt does not fully engage with the strike plate/receiver.
Adjust the position of the bolt or the strike plate on the gate or frame. Minor adjustments in alignment can ensure proper engagement.
