Choose the Turning-Direction of Your Gate
Before preparing your profiles, determine if you have a left-hand or right-hand gate. The fixing of the MAMMOTH-180 and Dino differs for each situation.
Diagrams show the correct gate orientation for left and right-hand gates.
Profile Preparation
Four drilling templates are included: two for the MAMMOTH-180 and two for the Dino. Use blocks to hold the gate in place and set it in its installed position. Align both sets of templates with the alignment marks.
After aligning, stick the templates to the gate and post.
Center punch the gate and post for the holes, remove the templates, and then drill the holes as marked.
Mammoth-180 and Dino Preparation
Remove the cover cap and slide out the Quick-Fix cover.
Mounting the Gatecloser
Place the MAMMOTH-180 on the gate or post and tighten the Quick-Fix bolts. Always start by mounting the left side hardware (L-wing side). Repeat this process for the Dino.
After mounting the left side, install and tighten the right side hardware.
The system is 2-dimensionally adjustable (2 x 20 mm).
Finishing Mammoth-180 and Dino
Slide the cart back in place and replace the cover cap.
Open the gate and lock the Quick-Fix cover with the included setscrews.
Speed and Final Snap Adjustment
Final snap and speed can be adjusted using the included 3 mm Allen key.
Diagrams show:
- Final snap adjustment point.
- Speed adjustment point.
Force Adjustment
Out of the box, the MAMMOTH-180 is set to its maximum closing force: 15 Nm. It is advised not to adjust the closing force unless a specific application requires a lower opening force.
To adjust the force: Remove the cover cap. Insert the Allen key and push down firmly to disengage the spring. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the spring force. Maximum 180° of closing force adjustment. Do not use excessive force on the Allen key while adjusting the force.

Finalising the Installation
After installing the MAMMOTH-180, proceed with the installation of your Locinox lock and keep.
Test the speed, closing force, and final snap action to your satisfaction. Install the cap on the force adjustment screw.
