PARTS
TOOLS REQUIRED
GETTING READY TO ASSEMBLE YOUR GATE KIT
Familiarize yourself with the gate hardware/ frames and instructions.
NOTE: concave side of spreader bars faces down.
This frame is designed to open INWARD (into your fenced area), if your application calls for an OUTWARD opening you can adjust the placement of the POST HINGES to the opposite side of the post. Additional modifications may be needed for outward swinging gates. For double drive gates openings installations, use two gate kits. The gates will assemble the same way, just reversed. For the latch installation on a double-drive gate, first attach the STRIKER BAR, bring both gates together and line up the LATCH CATCH with the striker bar for correct alignment to gate frame and attach. Suggested space between double gates is 1 inch. For double-drive gates UL301 drop rod kits are highly recommended (sold separately).
As a Security precaution – Installing HINGE (E) with the pin facing down and the bottom pin facing up will help prevent the potential theft by locking the frame into itself. Make sure all 4×4 posts and 2×4 rails are straight (bowing or crooked 4×4 & 2×4’s may make the Adjust-A-Gate® out of alignment). If cutting the spreader bars spray all cut ends with a Rust Oleum® type product to prevent rusting.
BEGIN INSTALLATION
POST HINGE (E) INSTALLATION
A) Locate the CENTER POINT top to bottom) on your POST.
B) Measure up 20” and down 20” to find the CENTER POINT for each POST HINGE BRACKET (E).
C) Position POST HINGE BRACKETS J-BOLTS point toward the center point and the hinge plates are on the inside, gate swinging side of the post. Attach brackets using 2” WOOD SCREWS (J).
NOTE: for best results this Adjust-A-Gate® is designed to open inward but can be modified to open outward by placing the hinges on the opposite side of the post.
POST HINGE (E) INSTALLATION
A) Loosely attach the FRAME HINGES (D) to the HINGE SIDE of the GATE FRAME (A) – remember that the pre-drilled hole for the truss cable is located at top inside of this frame piece. Slide the BOTTOM FRAME HINGE (D) into position onto the BOTTOM POST HINGE (E), tighten bolt. Slide the TOP FRAME HINGE (D) into position onto the TOP POST HINGE (E), tighten bolt.
B) Insert the SPREADER BARS (B) into slip member on the gate frame as shown.
C) If your gate opening requires your gate frame to be narrower than standard, you will need to cut (equal amounts of each end of SPREADER BARS (B)) to accomplish the needed size.
2B ) LATCH SIDE OF FRAME (A) INSTALLATION
Carefully add the LATCH SIDE OF THE FRAME (A). Now, carefully (at this point the frame is still loose) extend the gate frame to within 1 inch of the post where the latch will be attached. Now measure the distance between the plates where the 2×4’s will attach (top and bottom of frame), cut 2×4’s and attach using 1 INCH ROUNDHEAD WOOD SCREWS (G) for the plates, and 2 INCH FLATHEAD WOOD SCREWS (H) for the spreader bars.
NOTE: Depending on the width of your gate, you may not need all of the 2 inch wood screws, it is not necessary to have a screw in every hole. Because it is an adjustable frame, not all the pre-drilled holes on the spreader bars and vertical frame sides will line up.
TRUSS CABLE AND GATE LATCH INSTALLATION
Be sure to loosen the TURNBUCKLE to its widest opening prior to assembly. Assemble TRUSS CABLE as shown. Slide the “S” HOOK of the TRUSS CABLE KIT (C) into the hole at the lower corner of the latch side of the gate frame. Hook the TURNBUCKLE into the hole at the opposite top corner on the hinge side of the frame. Form a loop on the loose end of the cable, thread through the CABLE CLAMP, slip that loop onto the “S” HOOK and pull cable tight, secure with clamp, cut off any excess. Attach STRIKER BAR from the GATE LATCH KIT (F) to the inside gate frame at the desired height use the 4 HEX HEAD SELF-TAPPING SCREWS (I). Align the LATCH with the STRIKER BAR and attach to post using 1.5 INCH ROUNDHEAD WOOD SCREWS (K). By adjusting the TURNBUCKLE you can fine tune the gate latch to give a perfect fit.
ATTACHING YOUR BOARDS
TIP: To hide the gap on the HINGE SIDE of the gate, you may overlap your fence board to cover this gap.
TIP: It is recommended that your gate boards be cut 2” shorter than the fence boards to allow the top of your gate to be even with the fence and allow clearance under the gate.
Now you can attach the rest of your boards onto the 2×4’s on the gate using nails or screws.
By adjusting the turnbuckle on the truss cable you can fine tune the gate.
