Installation Notes

Installation is a general carpentry or light hardware task requiring basic hand tools such as a drill and screwdriver. Ensure the door frame and strike surface are properly aligned before securing fasteners to prevent binding of the bolt. For animal enclosures, confirm all hardware is flush-mounted with no exposed sharp edges after installation. Follow any local building or agricultural facility codes that apply to gate hardware in your jurisdiction.
