The 48” Santa Fe and Mesa Gate Kit Assembly comes partially assembled requiring minimal steps to

install your gate to complete your fence. Please read and follow these instruction to obtain a profes-

sional gate installation. This gate is designed to fit within a gate opening of 48 inches.

The first step to install the Santa Fe and

Mesa Gate is to establish the orientation of

the gate. You will need to decide:

 Which side of the gate the hinges will

be placed

 The direction of the swing of the gate

 The side of the gate you want to face

which direction.

GATE HINGE POST

TOOLS REQUIRED:

GATE HINGE POST

Included in each gate kit will be an additional post and hardware to build a gate hinge post. Using a

doubled gate hinge post will provide a stronger more stable post to hang your gate on. Assemble and

install the gate hinge post as defined below.

 Next slide another post onto the posts with the bolt and

channel nut as shown. You will have to loosed or tight-

en the bolt and channel accordingly so that the post can

freely slide down the first post. Verify that channel nuts

do not rotate and that the grooves in channel nut proper-

ly engage with post lips as shown.

 Install bolt and channel nut in every other hole in the

post as shown making sure the recess grooves of the

channel nut face inward towards the solid face of the

post. Do not tighten bolt yet.

 Using 9/16” socket and socket wrench secure the 2 posts

together by tightening all the bolts and channel nuts. Make

sure that channel nuts have remained properly aligned so

that they capture the edges of the outer post.

 Install gate hinge post by digging a 12” diameter post hole 24”

deep in proper location.

 Verify proper hole depth by placing post in hole and making sure

the post extends 69” above ground level. It may be necessary to

add or remove additional dirt from hole to obtain proper height.

 Once proper hole depth is achieved place post in hole and align

open channel of post to direction of the fence with the closed face

facing the gate opening. Set post in place using concrete filling to

approximately 2” below grade. Before concrete sets be sure to

plumb and level post and align.

 Allow concrete to properly cure properly in accordance with with

manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding to the next step.

Hinges

Next attach the upper and lower hinges to

the gate by:

 First laying the gate on a non-scratch

surface with the in-swing side of the gate

facing up

 Position the hinges on the gate hinge

side vertical beam as shown and attach

each hinge using 4 self-drill screws.

Next attach the gate to gate

post by:

 Positioning the gate as-

sembly in gate opening

in the orientation you se-

lected earlier. Using

scrap pieces of wood

shim the gate to the

proper height so that the

top of the gate is flush

with the top of the fence

on the gate post side.

 Attach the gate hinges to

the gate post by using 4

self-drill screws on each

hinge.

Install the Latch Assembly by:

 Attach the post side of the latch as-

sembly using 2 self drilling screw ap-

proximately 42” above the ground.

 Drill a ø1/4” hole in the upper hole lo-

cation through the post.

 Insert the plastic bushing

 Secure latch handle using the supplied

philips head screw.

Once the gate hinges are attached remove the shim

blocks from under the gate. The gate should now

swing freely on the gate post. The gate should fully

swing into the gate opening and the gaps between the

posts and the gate should be even. If the gate hits the

posts when it swings in or the gaps are uneven adjust

the spacing with the two nuts on the hinges using a

9/16” end wrench. Once the gate is properly positioned

secure the gate in position by tightening the 2 nuts on

each hinge.

Complete the installation by attaching the latch

catch as shown.

 With gate in the closed position, attach the

catch side of the latch with self-drilling screws

so the latch assembly properly latches and

releases

Congratulations! Your have just successfully installed your gate.

Enjoy!
