6a. Determine Gate Open Direction
Begin with both openers unlocked. Next identify if this will be a "push to open" or a "pull to
open" installation. In either configuration, the gate is mounted on one face of the mounting
post, and the opener is mounted on the face 90 degrees from it. Below are schematics of both
"push to open" and "pull to open" configurations.
