Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the functionality and longevity of your EXPERTLAND PRIMO gate. It is recommended that installation be performed by individuals with appropriate construction knowledge and tools.
Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Verify all package contents against the packing list. Ensure both packages (25 kg and 27 kg) are received and intact.
- Confirm the gate dimensions (300 cm length, 158 cm height) are suitable for your intended opening. The total required opening width including posts is 305 cm, and total height is 166 cm.
- Ensure the ground is level and stable where the gate posts will be installed.
- Gather necessary tools: measuring tape, level, drill, wrenches, concrete mix (if installing new posts), safety gear.
Installation Steps (General Guidance):
- Prepare Posts: If existing posts are not present, install two sturdy posts (e.g., concrete or metal) at the correct distance (305 cm center-to-center for the gate's total length). Ensure they are plumb and securely anchored. The gate is designed for inward swinging.
- Attach Hinges: Secure the gate hinges to the prepared posts according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the hinges are level and aligned to allow for smooth gate operation.
- Mount Gate Panels: Carefully lift and attach the two gate panels to the hinges. This step may require two or more people due to the weight and size of the panels.
- Install Locking Mechanism: Attach the handle, key lock, and door stopper as per the provided hardware instructions. Ensure the lock engages smoothly and securely.
- Adjust and Test: Open and close the gate multiple times to check for smooth operation. Make any necessary adjustments to the hinges or stopper to ensure proper alignment and a 120° maximum opening angle.

Operating Instructions
The EXPERTLAND PRIMO gate operates manually. Follow these guidelines for safe and effective use:
- Opening: To open the gate, unlock the key lock and push the gate panels inward. The gate is designed to swing inwards up to a maximum of 120 degrees.
- Closing: To close the gate, pull the panels back until they meet at the center. Ensure the panels align properly before engaging the lock.
- Locking: Use the provided key to lock the gate securely when closed. Always ensure the lock is fully engaged to prevent unintended opening.
- Obstruction Check: Before opening or closing, always check the gate's path for any obstructions, including children, pets, or objects.

Maintenance
The aluminum construction of the PRIMO gate ensures high durability and low maintenance. Regular care will preserve its appearance and functionality.
- Cleaning: Clean the gate periodically with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Hinge Lubrication: Lubricate hinges annually with a silicone-based spray or light oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent squeaking.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the gate for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Check the integrity of the posts, hinges, and locking mechanism.
- Rust Prevention: While aluminum is highly resistant to rust, inspect any steel components (e.g., screws, internal lock parts) for corrosion and treat as necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate is difficult to open/close or squeaks. | Dry or dirty hinges; misalignment. | Lubricate hinges. Check for obstructions. Adjust hinge alignment if necessary. |
| Lock mechanism is stiff or not engaging. | Dirt in lock; misalignment of gate panels. | Clean lock mechanism. Ensure gate panels are properly aligned when closed. Lubricate lock if needed. |
| Gate panels sag or are uneven. | Loose hinges; unstable posts; ground settling. | Tighten hinge bolts. Inspect posts for stability and reinforce if necessary. Check ground level. |
