Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to open or close
Check if the gate is hanging level and if the posts are stable. Ensure hinges are not obstructed and lubricate them. Verify the lock mechanism is aligned correctly.
Lock is not engaging properly
Ensure the ground pin is fully inserted into its socket and that the gate is properly aligned when closed. Check for any obstructions in the lock mechanism or strike plate.
Posts seem unstable
The posts may need to be more deeply set or secured with concrete. If recently installed, allow any concrete to fully cure. Check for ground movement or erosion around the base.
Visible rust spots appearing
Clean the affected area thoroughly. Lightly sand the rust away and apply a metal primer followed by an anthracite-colored metal paint to protect the steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
