Troubleshooting

Check if all bolts and fixings are securely tightened. Ensure there are no obstructions. Verify the gate is hanging level.

Hinge appears to be rusting.

The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides excellent protection. Minor surface rust may occur in highly corrosive environments but should not affect structural integrity. Clean with a soft cloth. For significant rust, consult a hardware specialist.

Ensure the top band is securely bolted to the gate and the pin is firmly fixed to the post. Re-tighten all provided fixings.

Ensure the post and gate are properly aligned. Slight adjustments may be needed. Ensure no debris is present in the hinge mechanism.
