The TRELLIS Guys KiNG TRELLIS Security Gate Product Maintenance Guide

At The TRELLIS Guys, we take pride in the quality and durability of our KiNG TRELLIS expandable security gates. To ensure your gate continues to perform optimally and remains covered by our 5-year warranty, please follow the care and maintenance guidelines outlined below.


1. Keep the Lower Rail Clear

• Regularly inspect the lower rail to ensure it is free from debris such as dust, dirt, leaves, or small stones.

• Remove any build-up using a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to prevent obstructions that may affect the gate’s smooth operation.


2. Clean All Surfaces

• Wipe down all surfaces of the gate with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.

• In coastal areas where salt and sea air can accelerate corrosion, it is especially important to clean the gate frequently.

• Use a non-corrosive cleaning agent such as mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemicals that may damage the finish.


3. Lubricate the SLAMLOCK Locking System

• Apply an appropriate lock lubricant, such as silicone-based spray, to the SLAMLOCK mechanism at least every six months.

• Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and dirt, leading to potential lock malfunctions.


Additional Care Tips

• Do not apply excessive force when operating the gate to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

• Inspect the gate’s finish periodically and touch up any minor scratches with a suitable metal paint to prevent rust.

• If any issues arise, contact The Trellis Guys for professional maintenance or repair services.


By following these care instructions, you ensure the longevity and functionality of your security gate, while maintaining the validity of your 5-year warranty. Should you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to our support team.
