GATE FITTING EZY FIX HINGES W/FGF-ST BOSAG EFH-ES(FGF-ST)B

Start by positioning your gate post plumb and secure it properly before fitting the hinges. Attach the top hinge first, then the bottom hinge, making sure both are aligned so the gate hangs square and swings freely without binding. Bolt the hinge plates to your gate frame and post using the appropriate bolts and washers, tightening firmly but not over-tightening which can strip threads. Check the gate swings smoothly in both directions before you walk away. Tips: Use a level when installing to make sure your hinges are perfectly vertical, otherwise your gate will sag or swing shut on its own and wear unevenly. Paint or grease the hinge pins and moving parts regularly, especially in wet seasons, to stop rust building up and the gate becoming stiff to operate. Make sure your gate post is in good condition before you fit these hinges—a rotten or leaning post will cause problems no matter how good your hinges are.
