Measure opening between posts. Opening may not exceed 48".
The gate hinges can accommodate gaps from 1/4"-7/8", but

Determine the desired spacing and subtract from opening. 1-3/4"
is recommended but can range from 5/8" to 2-1/2" (fig. 1).
Measure gate and determine amount to be trimmed. Lay gate
panel (A) on a flat, non-marring surface. Remove latch post (B)
from gate (fig. 2).

Make sure gate is plumb and level and attach hinges (E) to post.
Determine location of latch (D) on the latch post (B). Assemble the
latch for right-hand or left-hand operation.
Check for level and attach latch to latch post, using screws
positioned in the center of the screw slots.
Close the gate and using a level, mark the top of the latch on the
adjacent post. Position the catch and attach to adjacent post (fig. 3).
Ensure proper operation of the gate. Hinge tension is adjustable.
See hardware kit instructions for details.
Place precut blocks back underneath the bottom rail for support.
Tap the post caps (C) onto the gate posts using a rubber mallet.

The hinge post (A) is welded to the panel for best long-term
performance. Attach hinges (E) to the hinge post at each rail location.
Prop the gate by positioning precut blocks beneath the bottom rail and
between the posts (fig. 1). Spacing of 3" is typical but can be more or
less as allowed by local building codes. Per the model building code,
all gaps must be less than 4". Ensure bottom of gate posts will be high
enough to clear any obstacles, such as post base trims, if applicable.

Cut top and bottom rails to the same length.
Attach the latch post (B) to the gate panel (A) using 2 screws through
the underside of the top and bottom rails into the splice on the latch
post (fig. 2). Use care to avoid marring the post with the drill chuck.
Turning the gate upside down may make this step easier.
