Troubleshooting
Hook does not hold door/gate securely
Ensure the hook and eyelet are aligned correctly and the mounting screws are fully tightened into a solid surface. Check if the door or gate has warped, affecting alignment.
Screws do not tighten properly
The mounting surface may be too soft or damaged. Use wall anchors or consider a different mounting location. For wood, ensure pilot holes are appropriately sized.
