Troubleshooting

Latch is stiff or difficult to operate

Check for any obstructions or debris around the latch mechanism. Ensure the gate is properly aligned. Apply a small amount of outdoor-grade lubricant to the moving parts.

Gate does not latch automatically

Verify that the latch mechanism is correctly aligned with the strike plate (if applicable) or gate frame. Ensure the gate closes fully and the latch engages properly.
