Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
- Measure and mark the mounting positions on both your post and gate to ensure the hinges are perfectly level.
- Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent the timber from splitting during the installation of your chosen fixings.
- Secure the hook plates to the post using heavy-duty coach bolts or appropriate wood screws.
- Attach the hinge straps to the gate, ensuring the cranked profile is oriented correctly for your door swing.
- Grease the hook and band contact point periodically to ensure silent, smooth movement.
Care Instructions:
Although galvanised steel is corrosion-resistant, check the mounting points annually for any signs of loose hardware. If you live in a coastal area, a light application of marine-grade grease on the pivot point every six months will extend the lifespan of the mechanism.
