SELF CLOSING GATE – Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION
Tools Required:
- 1/2" deep socket or wrench (u-bolt installation)
The steps below are a general guideline for a single gate installation on a railing post up to 2" square or round. Individual installation may vary; therefore, load capabilities of a gate are dependent on proper installation and existing structure. Always field verify completed installation for adequate performance.
Step 1: Loosely attach ladder safety gate hinge assemblies to vertical column of railing with u-bolts provided (or select appropriate field fasteners for other types of installation). Do not tighten, as additional adjustment may be required.
Step 2: Adjust top of safety gate to match top of railing.
Step 3: Align hinge bracket to be perpendicular (90°) to spring gate and opening.
Step 4: Adjust gate hoop to proper opening width. This can be achieved by selecting any combination of two of the three bolt holes at connection point for hinge plate and gate. Insure stop plate over laps and contacts adjacent vertical column of railing system (opposite of hinge side) allowing for 1/4"max. of clearance. Tighten carriage bolts once at desired width.
Step 5: Operate gate through full swing range to insure proper alignment before permanent attachment. If mounting to pipe railing, tighten each u-bolt to 20 ft/lbs of torque and field verify for adequate attachment (all types of installations).
