Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic drilling and fastening skills. Because the unit is heavy, it is recommended to use high-tensile coach bolts or heavy-duty wood screws depending on whether you are fixing to metal or wood.
- Position the staple on the door frame and the hasp plate on the door.
- Ensure the swivel mechanism aligns correctly with the retaining bracket before marking your pilot holes.
- Secure the plates using appropriate hardware for your door material.
- Periodically inspect the galvanised finish for scratches; if deep scratches appear, touch them up with a cold-galvanising spray to maintain weatherproofing.
- Apply a light application of silicone lubricant to the hinge point annually to keep the swivel action smooth.
