Mount Hinge on Gate:

NOTE:

- Gate can be adjusted to swing up to

160 degrees.

a.) Position hinge swing arm on gate rail and mark

pilot holes through screw holes, as shown, with a

minimum spacing of 32" between each hinge (Fig. 2).

b.) Drill pilot holes:

- If you are installing the hinge on a hollow

gate rail (such as vinyl), use a

1

⁄

1

⁄

⁄4⁄

" bit

and drill all the way through the gate rail, so that

bit comes through the opposite side. Be sure to

hold the drill straight and level so that the back

plate will be properly aligned when mounted (Fig. 3).

- If you are installing the hinge on a solid gate

rail (such as wood), use a

3

" bit. Pilot

holes should NOT be drilled all the way through

the solid gate rails, as the back plate is not

required.

c.) Secure Hinge to Gate Rail:

- When installing hinges on a hollow gate rail

(such as vinyl), install the back plate on the

opposite side of the gate rail and secure with the

appropriately sized bolts and fasteners, speci ed

in the table below. The included nylon spacer may

be required to  ll void space (Fig. 4).

- When installing hinges on a solid gate rail (such

as wood), secure both hinges to the rail using

three 1

plate is not required.

- Depending on which application you are

using, tighten the phillips screws with a phillips

screwdriver or the bolts with a 10 mm wrench.

gate and cut two wood spacer blocks to this

height. Rest gate on the spacer blocks and hold it

level/plumb to the gate post (Fig. 6).

c.) While holding the post plate of the hinge  rmly

against post, mark pilot holes on the post, through

the four screw holes in the front of the post plate
