DETERMINE MOUNTING LOCATION

The gate post bracket assembly can be mounted several places on the gate post.
Refer to the illustrations on page 10 for the ideal mounting location.
Refer to the illustrations to determine the appropriate dimensions for the
Pull-To-Open bracket.
NOTE: It may be necessary to add shims (angle iron, sheets of metal or wood) to
the gate post to achieve the required dimensions.
MEASURING AND MARKING FOR THE
GATE BRACKET
Before proceeding, begin with the gate in the fully closed position. There are two
methods for determining the proper location of the post brackets:
• Paper template (Located on the back page of this manual. Must be cut out.)
• Tape measure.
Either method will work depending on preference.
TEMPLATE METHOD

Close the gate.

Place the template (provided on the back page of this manual) under the center
of the gate hinge point.
3
Use a screwdriver or dowel rod to temporarily mark the location in front of the
gate post.
TAPE MEASURE METHOD
1
Close the gate.
2
Place the measuring tape under the center of the gate hinge point and measure
out 7 inches (18 cm).
3
Use a screwdriver or dowel rod to temporarily mark the location of the first
measurement.
4
Measure 7 inches (18 cm) from the previous mark.
5
Use the screwdriver or dowel rod to mark the location of the second
measurement.
