FAQs
What width gates is this set compatible with?
This set is ideal for gates ranging from 1200mm to 2700mm in width.
Can I use this on a brick post?
Yes, but you must ensure you are using the correct wall plugs or anchors for masonry, as the included coach screws may not be sufficient for direct masonry installation.
How often should I lubricate the hinges?
It is recommended to inspect and lubricate the contact points every 6 to 12 months to ensure smooth operation.
Is the galvanised finish paintable?
While the finish is designed for durability without paint, it can be painted if you use a primer specifically designed for adhesion to galvanised metal.
Does this set work for both left and right-hand gates?
Yes, the hook-on-plate design is generally reversible for standard gate orientations.
Troubleshooting
Gate is sagging despite adjustment
Check that the top strap carriage bolts are fully tightened and that the gate frame itself has not warped.
Bottom adjustment screw is difficult to turn
Clean the threads with a wire brush to remove debris or corrosion and apply a lubricant to ease the turning of the threaded rod.
Hinge plate pulling away from the post
Verify that the fixings are appropriate for the post material and consider upgrading to through-bolts if the post surface is crumbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Pre-Installation: Ensure your posts are securely anchored. For masonry or concrete, use appropriate wall plugs or sleeve anchors suitable for the provided coach screws.
Positioning: Align the top hook-on-plate so the weight is evenly distributed. Ensure the 450mm strap is bolted through the gate frame to maximize load-bearing capacity.
Adjustment: Once mounted, use the threaded assembly on the bottom hinge to level the gate. Tighten all lock nuts firmly once the desired position is achieved.
Care: While hot-dipped galvanising is highly resistant to weather, periodically check the nuts and bolts annually to ensure no vibrations from wind have loosened the fixings. If the gate becomes stiff, apply a light, water-resistant exterior-grade grease to the hook contact point.
