Step #3: Gate Hardware Installation
A. Attach the striker rod to the gate by using the provided button head screws.
B. Thread the ½” hinge rod into the upper and lower inserts in the gate metal
frame leaving about 1 ½” from the edge of the gate to the bracket (this can
be re-adjusted later)
C. Next hold the gate and its hinges against the gate post at the proper position
and height. Drill the provided 2 ½” self-tapping screws into the gate post.
DO NOT over tighten the screws because it can crush the
internal foam, making an indentation in the post.
D. Level the gate. The standard height should be level with the top of the fence
panel. Gates are designed with a 4” gap at the bottom to facilitate an un
obstructed swing. If you desire a gap smaller than 4”, you may lower the
gate relative to the fence panels.
E. Finally, align the latch with the striker rod and attach the latch to the end
post by using the supplied 2 ½” self-tapping screws.
