3. Installation Guide

This section provides general steps for installing your Vente-unique NAZARIO swinging gate. Professional installation is recommended for optimal safety and performance.

3.1. Tools Required (Not Included)

• Drill and appropriate drill bits for your mounting surface
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Pencil or marker
• Wrenches or socket set
• Screwdriver set
• Safety glasses and gloves

3.2. Pre-Installation Checks

1. Inspect Site: Ensure the opening width is suitable for the 103 cm gate length, allowing for hinge and latch mechanisms. The height should accommodate the 150 cm overall height.
2. Check Posts/Walls: Confirm that the existing or new gate posts/walls are sturdy, plumb, and capable of supporting the gate's weight (21 kg) and repeated swinging motion.
3. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and verify against the package contents list.

3.3. Installation Steps

1. Attach Hinges to Gate: Securely fasten the hinges to the designated points on the gate frame using the provided hardware. Ensure they are aligned correctly for the desired swing direction (inward opening).
2. Position Gate: With assistance, hold the gate in its desired closed position within the opening. Use shims or blocks to maintain the correct ground clearance (e.g., 2.8 cm as indicated in Figure 2).
3. Mark Hinge Locations: Mark the precise locations for the hinges on the gate post or wall. Use a level to ensure the gate is plumb.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations on the post/wall, ensuring the drill bit size is appropriate for the mounting hardware.
5. Mount Hinges to Post/Wall: Attach the hinges to the post/wall using the appropriate fasteners. Do not fully tighten all fasteners until the gate swing is verified.
6. Test Swing: Carefully open and close the gate to ensure it swings freely and clears the ground and surrounding structures. Adjust hinge positions if necessary.
7. Install Handle and Lock: Follow the specific instructions for assembling and installing the handle and key lock mechanism onto the gate panel. Ensure the latch aligns with the strike plate on the receiving post.
8. Install Stop Buffer: Mount the stop buffer on the ground or receiving post to prevent the gate from swinging past its closed position.
9. Final Tightening: Once satisfied with the gate's operation, securely tighten all hinge and lock mechanism fasteners.
