Troubleshooting

Latch is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure no debris is obstructing the latch mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point and sliding parts.

Gate does not stay closed

Check if the latch receiver is aligned correctly with the latch arm. Adjust the position of the receiver or the latch arm if necessary. Ensure the gate itself is not sagging.
