Full details

The Stirling Scroll Double Driveway Gate in Black is designed for homeowners seeking a robust and aesthetically pleasing entrance to their property.

FAQs

What is the actual width of each gate leaf?

The stated width of 2743mm refers to the total driveway opening the gate is designed to fit. The actual width of each gate leaf will be less than half of this measurement to allow for hinges, latches, and clearance within the opening.

What is the frame and infill bar material?

The gate features a 25mm x 10mm frame. The infill bars are made of 10mm diameter bars and 12mm diameter bars, with scrollwork crafted from 10mm x 3mm material.

Does the gate come with hinges and a latch?

Typically, gates are sold separately from hardware like hinges and latches. Please check the product listing or contact customer support to confirm included accessories.

Can this gate be automated?

This gate is designed for manual operation. While it may be possible to adapt it for automation, it is not supplied with the necessary fittings and would likely require professional modification and the addition of compatible automation hardware.

How should I prepare the driveway entrance for this gate?

You will need two sturdy gate posts set securely in the ground, properly spaced to accommodate the 2743mm opening and the gate's actual dimensions, allowing for swing clearance and hardware.

What maintenance is required for the black finish?

The black finish (typically primer or powder coat) should be kept clean with a damp cloth. If it's a primer finish, it must be painted with exterior metal paint. Powder coating is durable but should be touched up if scratched to prevent rust.

What is the height of the gate?

The frame height is 820mm, and the overall height, including the scrolls, reaches 914mm.

Troubleshooting

Gate does not hang straight

Check the plumbness of your gate posts. Adjust hinge positions or consider shims if posts are slightly off. Ensure the correct gate dimensions were accounted for relative to the opening.

Gate is difficult to open or close

Verify that the gate posts are stable and not leaning. Check for any obstructions. Ensure hinges are lubricated and properly aligned. The latch mechanism might need adjustment.

Rust spots appear on the surface

Clean the affected area thoroughly with a wire brush. Apply a rust converter and then prime and repaint the area with suitable metal paint. For powder-coated gates, ensure any scratches exposing metal are immediately treated.

Latch mechanism is stiff or sticking

Clean the latch mechanism and apply a suitable lubricant (e.g., graphite lubricant or silicone spray). Check for any debris or misalignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Opening: Accurately measure the width of your driveway opening. The 2743mm (9ft) specification refers to this gap. The actual gates will be slightly smaller to allow for hinges and latches.
  2. Prepare Posts: Ensure you have sturdy gate posts installed plumb and securely set in concrete. The spacing between posts must match the required gap, accounting for the gate dimensions and clearance.
  3. Attach Hinges: Mount the gate hinges to the posts and the gate frames. Adjustments may be needed to ensure smooth operation and correct alignment.
  4. Hang Gates: Carefully lift and hang the double gates onto the hinges.
  5. Install Latch: Fit a suitable gate latch mechanism at the center of the gates.

Compatibility:

  • This gate is designed for manual operation. While it *can* potentially be adapted for automation, it is not pre-drilled or configured for it, and this may require professional modification.
  • Ensure your gate posts are strong enough to support the weight of these solid steel gates.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the gates with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and grime. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the gates for any signs of rust or damage to the finish. Check that hinges and latches are functioning correctly.
  • Maintenance (Primer Finish): If your gate has a primer finish, it is essential to paint it with a suitable exterior metal paint within a few months of installation to prevent corrosion. Touch up any scratches or chips promptly.
  • Maintenance (Powder Coated Finish): The powder-coated finish is highly durable but can be scratched. Clean gently and avoid abrasive materials. Touch up any exposed metal areas immediately if scratches occur.
