Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to close or latch

Check for obstructions or misalignment. Ensure gate posts are plumb and securely fixed. Adjust the position of the gate or the catch mechanism if necessary.

Gate sags or appears uneven

Verify that gate posts are strong and properly set. Ensure all hardware is tightened securely. The weight distribution might be uneven; consider adding a third hinge or support if needed for very wide openings.

Rust spots appear on the surface

Clean the affected area thoroughly. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer and touch-up paint suitable for galvanized metal to prevent further corrosion.

Self-locking catch is stiff

Clean the catch mechanism and apply a light-duty lubricant suitable for outdoor metal hardware.
