GATE INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Step 2
If you have aluminium post inserts, install
them prior to installing the gate. If you do
not have inserts, you must fill the hinge
post with concrete after installing the
gate.
Step 3
Locate and follow the gate hardware
installation instructions.
Step 4
For double gates, install the drop rod
to the socket post of the fixed gate. See
Figure 2.
IMPORTANT TIPS
• Be sure your gate posts are set with the correct rough opening to accommodate the assembled gate and
hardware. As a general rule, the hinge and the latch require a 1" gap each. An additional 1" gap is
required for a double gate. Be sure to refer to the gate hardware installation instructions for your specific
hardware.
• Mount the gate flush with the side of the fence that the gate will be swinging on. See Figure 1 below.
• Be sure the gate positioning allows it to clear obstructions such as snow and large post cap profiles.
• The gate posts may be cut on site as needed. If cutting the gate posts off at the bottom, DO NOT cut into
the gate socket.
• If installing around a pool, check local codes to determine the direction the gate should swing. Typically,
it should swing outward, away from the pool.
