Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Does powder-coated steel rust outdoors?
  Powder coating acts as a protective barrier against corrosion. If the coating is scratched or chipped, the bare steel underneath can be exposed to moisture and begin to rust. Periodic inspection helps catch any damage early before it spreads.

• Which side of a gate should the handle go on?
  Position the handle on the side of the gate that you pull towards you. Most installations need only one handle on the opening side, though handles can be fitted on both sides if preferred.

• Can a gate pull handle be removed?
  Yes. Back out the fixing screws with a screwdriver or drill to remove the handle from the mounting surface.

• How do I maintain a powder-coated outdoor handle?
  Rinse with clean water and wash with mild soapy water to remove dirt and deposits. In coastal or high-pollution areas, clean every one to three months. Check edges and areas around the fixings for chips or early signs of rust.

• Is carbon steel suitable for outdoor use?
  Carbon steel can be used outdoors when protected with a suitable coating, such as powder coat or paint. Without a protective finish, carbon steel will corrode when exposed to moisture and oxygen.
