FAQs
What is the total height of the gate?
The total height to the top of the ball finial is 1943mm. The shoulder frame height is 1770mm.
What does the 1220mm width refer to?
The 1220mm refers to the post-to-post gap that the gate is designed to fit into. The physical width of the gate panel is smaller to allow for hinges and a latch.
Is this gate suitable for exposed areas?
Yes, the solid steel construction and electro-galvanised/black powder coating provide excellent durability and resistance to weather, making it suitable for most outdoor environments.
Do I need to assemble the gate?
The gate is supplied as a single unit and does not require assembly. Installation involves mounting it to gate posts.
How do I maintain the black finish?
Periodically clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Address any minor chips promptly with appropriate metal paint to maintain rust resistance.
What kind of posts should I use for installation?
You will need sturdy posts, typically metal or robust timber, securely set in the ground and correctly spaced to match the gate's specified gap width.
Can this gate be hung on existing brick pillars?
Yes, provided the brick pillars are structurally sound and can accommodate the appropriate mounting hardware for the gate's hinges and latch.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not close properly
Check if the posts are plumb and the correct gap is maintained. Ensure hinges and latch are aligned and functioning freely. Adjust hardware if necessary.
Rust spots appearing on the surface
This is rare with the electro-galvanised and powder-coated finish. Clean the area with a soft cloth and apply a suitable metal paint specifically designed for outdoor use if the coating has been breached.
Gate is difficult to swing
Inspect hinges for obstructions or wear. Lubricate hinges with an appropriate outdoor-grade lubricant. Ensure the gate is not dragging on the ground.
Gap measurement seems incorrect for the gate size
Verify that the 1220mm (or specified size) refers to the *gap* between posts, not the physical width of the gate panel. The gate is designed to be slightly smaller than the gap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure you have accurately measured the post-to-post gap you intend to fit the gate into. The specified width (e.g., 1220mm) is the gap size, and the gate itself will be slightly narrower to accommodate hinges and latches.
Install sturdy gate posts that are set securely in the ground. The posts must be plumb and correctly spaced to match the gate's gap specification.
Mount the gate using appropriate heavy-duty hinges and a latch mechanism. Consider the weight of the gate and use hardware rated for its size and material.
Compatibility:
This gate is designed to fit a specific post-to-post gap. Ensure your existing or newly installed posts match the required dimensions.
Compatible with standard gate hardware for metal gates, including various hinge types and latch systems.
Care:
The electro-galvanised and black powder-coated finish is designed for durability. Clean periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the coating.
Inspect regularly for any signs of damage to the coating and address small chips or scratches promptly to prevent rust.
