FAQs

Does this kit include the actual gate boards?

No, this is a hardware kit only. It includes the locking mechanism, hinges, corner joints, and all necessary fasteners to assemble a composite gate.

Can I use this on a wooden gate?

This kit is specifically designed for composite gate profiles (45x45mm). While some fasteners may work on wood, the corner joints and hinge system are optimized for Durapost composite systems.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the components are finished in black and constructed from high-quality aluminium to resist corrosion in outdoor environments.

How many keys are provided?

The kit includes the standard set of keys for the 6-pin Euro cylinder.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a cordless drill, standard screwdriver bits, a set of hex keys, and a level to ensure the gate is installed perfectly plumb.

Troubleshooting

Gate is binding or not closing flush

Adjust the position of the hinge packers included in the kit to realign the gate frame.

Lock is difficult to turn

Ensure the Euro cylinder is centered and not being compressed by the lock casing; check that the screws securing the lock body are not overtightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade aluminium components ensure excellent rust resistance
  • Comprehensive fastener kit eliminates the need for extra trips to the store
  • Professional-grade 6-pin lock provides reliable security
  • Included packers and caps provide a polished, clean aesthetic
  • Designed specifically for composite materials for a perfect fit

Cons

  • Specific to composite gates; may not be suitable for heavy timber gates
  • Requires knowledge of drill-bit sizing for various screw types
  • The 45x45mm profile size must match your specific frame dimensions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic power tools, including a cordless drill, a set of hex (Allen) keys, and a spirit level to ensure the gate hangs square.

  1. Preparation: Align your gate frame components and dry-fit the aluminium corner joints to verify the 45x45mm fit.
  2. Hinge Attachment: Secure the hinges to the frame using the provided stainless steel screws and hinge packers to ensure the gate swings with adequate clearance.
  3. Lock Installation: Insert the 6-pin Euro cylinder into the lock body, ensuring the cam mechanism is clear of obstructions.
  4. Final Fastening: Use the self-drilling screws for metal-to-metal connections and the Power Pro screws for wood-based elements.

Care Instructions: Periodically inspect the screw tension once every six months. If the area is near the coast, wipe the aluminium components with a damp cloth and mild detergent to prevent salt buildup, which can degrade the finish over time.
