Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard woodworking tools, including a drill and screwdriver. Ensure the mounting surface is solid wood or metal; for hollow or composite materials, additional backing plates may be required to ensure the 0.57kg unit is supported correctly.
Compatibility Checklist:
- Works with wooden gates, sheds, stables, and metal garage doors.
- Can be used in conjunction with a padlock with a shackle diameter compatible with the bolt eye.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly inspect screws for tightness to prevent the bolt from rattling.
- Apply a light machine oil or silicone-based lubricant to the shoot and housing once or twice a year to maintain smooth sliding action.
- Periodically inspect the silver finish for signs of surface oxidation; if found, clean with a soft cloth and apply a protective rust-inhibiting coating.
