Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure long-term functionality, verify that your gate frame is level before mounting. Since these hinges do not include hardware, select high-quality, corrosion-resistant wood screws that fit the 14 available holes.
Installation Steps:
- Measure the hinge placement on the gate and the post.
- Pilot drill the wood to prevent splitting the timber.
- Secure the hinge to the gate using all available holes for even weight distribution.
- Check the swing movement before finalizing the attachment to the post.
Care: Periodically wipe the hinges with a clean cloth to remove dust or debris. In rural or damp areas, applying a thin coat of clear exterior-grade lubricant to the knuckle can help maintain smooth operation and further protect against rust.
