Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, drill a pilot hole into your gate frame or hinge plate consistent with the M19 diameter. Feed the threaded shank through the hole and secure it using the twin lock nuts provided. Ensure you use two spanners to tighten the nuts against each other (locking them) once the desired gate position is achieved.
To maintain the longevity of the zinc plating, avoid scraping the surface with sharp tools during installation. If you live in an area with high rainfall or high salt content, applying a thin layer of exterior-grade metal grease or a weather-resistant paint can significantly extend the life of the product. Check the tightness of the lock nuts annually to ensure they have not loosened due to gate operation.
