Troubleshooting

Gate does not hang straight after installing hinges.

Adjust the hinge placement or ensure the gate post is plumb. Loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition, and retighten.

Gate latch sticks or is difficult to operate.

Ensure the latch and keeper plate are perfectly aligned. Check for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the latch mechanism.

Brenton bolt does not slide smoothly.

Check for any debris in the bolt housing. Lightly lubricate the bolt mechanism.
