Troubleshooting
Gate does not stay open
Ensure the catch hook is correctly aligned with the post-mounted catch and that the stop rubber is adequately adjusted. Verify that the installation is secure and the post is stable.
Catch hook is difficult to engage/disengage
Check for obstructions or debris around the catch mechanism. Adjust the height or angle of the catch hook slightly. Ensure the gate itself is moving freely.
Gate is damaged when held open
Adjust or reposition the stop rubber to provide a softer stop. Ensure the polyamide catch hook is correctly aligned to avoid direct impact on the gate surface.
Mechanism feels loose after installation
Re-examine the concrete fixing. If the concrete is not fully cured or the anchors are not set properly, further concrete may be required to secure the base plate firmly.
