Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward as the package includes the necessary mounting screws. First, hold the bolt in the desired position on the gate or door, ensuring it aligns with the frame. Mark the holes with a pencil before drilling small pilot holes to prevent wood splitting. Once secured, attach the keeper plate to the frame, ensuring it is level with the bolt. For maintenance, a light application of silicone-based lubricant once or twice a year will keep the sliding mechanism moving freely. If the bolt is exposed to extreme salt air or moisture, check the mounting points annually to ensure the screws remain tight and free of corrosion.
