Troubleshooting
Gates do not align properly during assembly.
Ensure all components are laid out and identified correctly according to the instructions. Loosely connect all parts first, then check for alignment before tightening screws. Ensure the ground where the gates will be installed is level.
Difficulty in attaching the gates to posts.
Verify that the posts are securely installed and plumb. Adjust the hinge placement on the posts or gates if minor misalignments exist. Ensure you are using the correct hardware as specified in the manual.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
Clean the affected area gently with a wire brush to remove loose rust. Apply a rust-inhibiting metal primer followed by a paint matching the antique blue finish. Ensure touch-ups are done promptly after any damage to the coating.
The finish appears uneven or chipped.
This can occur during shipping or assembly. For minor chips, clean the area and apply a touch-up paint. For significant unevenness, professional advice or a complete refinishing may be considered.
