A Bolt-On flange can break due to improper removal, application, or storage of the gate and gate posts. If the flange breaks, you may see damage shown in one of two ways; broken or sheared screw(s) or a broken flange tab.  

SOLUTIONS

Broken or Sheared Screws

Drill new holes and re-attach the flange to your gate post. 

  • Show you were to drill new holes if the screws have sheared off

Take your existing flange and drill two new holes on opposite sides from the original holes (see photo below). Drill  through the flange with a 3/16 inch drill bit so that the new screw thread passes through without binding. Use the new holes as a guide and mark the new hole location on the gate post. Pre-drill the new holes on the gate post with a 5/32 inch hole. Use a D&D screw to fasten each new hole of the bolt-on flange to the gate post.

Color Variations

Colors on your screen or brochure may not match the actual color of your product.

Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, and browsers, color samples and product examples may appear different on different screens. Computers and mobile devices are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. The same is true for printed items such as brochures and other sales literature. 

In addition, the colors of our products photograph differently under different lighting conditions. For example, photos taken in full sunlight will vary from photos taken on a cloudy or overcast day. Similarly, shadows from nearby objects can affect the color and transparency of our products. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Colors will vary from batch to batch.

Many of our products’ materials are not available through typical stores and vendors and therefore must be custom manufactured specifically for our use. In order to control costs and provide you with the best value possible, our raw materials are produced in large batches and can often take several months to receive. The colors of our materials can, and often do, vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we make every effort to minimize color variations, we cannot be responsible for these differences when they occur. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Color names are subjective and may not be what you think the color should be.

For example, we use the name “putty” to describe some of our products. Your idea of the color “putty” may be different than someone else’s idea of “putty”. In addition, products may have the same color name but may not be the exact same color. For example, we have different shades of “black”. Please do not order using color names as your only guide. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

If it is important that your product be an exact color or shade, it is highly recommended that you inspect the actual product prior to its installation and address any concerns with your local independent installer. Most independent installers do not offer refunds or accept returns due to color variations.
