FAQs
Is this kit suitable for heavy driveway gates?

Troubleshooting
Gate is sagging or not hanging level
Check that the hinge screws are fully tightened and ensure the post to which the gate is attached is perfectly vertical.
The auto-catch does not click shut
Adjust the position of the strike plate slightly to align better with the latch arm or check that the gate has not shifted due to wood expansion.
Hinges squeaking during operation
Apply a small amount of lubricant or machine oil to the hinge pivot points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your wooden gate and posts are stable and square to allow for optimal hinge alignment. Use the provided high-performance woodscrews with a standard screwdriver or power drill set to a low-torque setting to avoid stripping the wood. For installation, attach the tee hinges to the gate frame first, ensuring they are level, before mounting the gate to the post. The auto-catch should be installed at the closing side, ensuring the latch aligns perfectly with the strike plate. For long-term care, periodically check that the screws remain tight and apply a light machine oil to the hinge pins and the latch mechanism annually to maintain smooth operation.
