GTO RB923 rev installation manual Installing the Open and Closed Position Stops

Installing the Open and Closed Position Stops

The positive stops hold the gate firmly in the open and closed positions. The positive stops also form the boundaries of the gate operating arc and help stabilize the gate. Moreover, a stable gate helps to maintain the long life of your automatic gate opener system. To further enhance the stability and security of your gate, install the optional GTO Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog).

Step 13:

With the gate still in the open position, measure approxi- mately 3/4 of the distance to the end of the gate from the hinges and place a mark on the ground directly under the gate (refer to the overview illustration below for positioning). You will install an open-position stop post at this point. The open position stop post can be made of wood, metal, or concrete.

Step 14:

Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin from the gate bracket and move the gate so that you can install the open position stop post. Secure stop post in the ground (and seat in concrete).
