Troubleshooting
Latch is difficult to operate
Check for obstructions around the latch mechanism or mounting plate. Ensure screws are not overtightened, restricting movement. Clean the pivot point if dirt has accumulated.
Latch does not securely hold the door
Verify that the hooks on the frame are correctly aligned with the latch mechanism. Ensure the door and frame are not warped, preventing a secure engagement. Check that the mounting plate is firmly attached and the latch is properly positioned.
Rust or corrosion is visible
While powder-coated, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may cause minor surface rust. Clean the affected area with a mild abrasive cleaner and apply a suitable metal protector or paint to prevent further corrosion. Ensure the latch is kept reasonably clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Check for any signs of wear and tear, particularly on the pivot point and hooks. The powder-coated finish is designed for low maintenance and resistance to corrosion.
