Page 2 KG brand II. Determine type of mounting The following mounting example shows one special situation of mounting type 2, that is the mounting on gates with one-sided located door hinges. It is a special variant, because bracket 1 (that is the bracket located near the gate hinges) is mounted on the adjacent wall instead of on the gatepost.
Page 3 KG brand Step 1: Determine mounting position of garden gate closer First, you need to determine the position of the gate closer. It can be positioned at the top of the gate, in the middle or at the bottom.
Page 4 KG brand Note: In step 3 the exact positioning of the bracket will be checked again and possibly fine-tuned. Step 3: Check piston stroke This step is to check the measured position of bracket 1 and possibly change it slightly, so that the optimized closing performance can be guaranteed.
Page 5 KG brand Step 4: Mount bracket 1 Mark and drill the respective holes on the wall, using the appropriate tools for your type of wall. In our picture example we use an impact drill with a 6 mm concrete drill.
Page 6 KG brand Step 5: Position and mount bracket 2 on the gate Having positioned and fixed the first bracket (bracket 1) correctly, you´ve already done the biggest part of the mounting! Now, the second bracket (bracket 2) must be positioned correctly on the gate. Therefore, the distance between the two mounting holes (that is the chosen mounting hole on bracket 1 and the mounting hole on bracket 2) must be between 540 mm and 545 mm.
Page 7 KG brand Now, mark and centre-punch the drilling holes. Then drill the holes using a 4.2 mm metal drill. The size of the drill is essential here. If the diameter of the hole is too small, the screw can tear off. If it is too big, the screw won´t find the hold required.
Page 8 KG brand Step 6: Insert and tighten garden gate closer For easier mounting, the garden gate closer is pre-loaded when delivered. For inserting the gate closer, open the gate until the gate closer can be put into the respective holes without applying any force. The thicker end of the closer is to be put into bracket 1 (near the wall).
