Installing The Gate Lock, Single Gate Installation

Installing The Gate Lock

NOTE: The Automatic Gate Lock can be installed on single and dual gate systems. Use the appropiate instructions for the system you have - SINGLE GATE (below) or DUAL GATES (page 4).

Single Gate Installation

Turn power switch OFF on the bottom of the control box. Disconnect gate opener by removing hairpin clip and clevis pin from the gate bracket end of the opener. Disconnecting the opener will allow the gate to swing freely during installation of the gate lock.

Step 1: With the gate in the closed position, determine the best location for the lock and lock receiver. The lock and receiver must be level and aligned with the opener. Also, the lock should have a solid surface or cross member to provide stability.

Step 2: Clamp receiver and lock together (with receiver pin hole and lock slot aligned) against the gate post, mark their positions to drill receiver holes (see Illustration B and C, page 3). The receiver must be mounted with carriage bolts, not U-bolts, to allow lock to seat properly. Fasten the receiver to the gate post.

Step 3: Hold latch open with key to operate gate and check closed limit and lock alignment. Drop pin in receiv- er but don't put the cap on. Recheck the lock's position and alignment, then mark its position for drilling holes.

Step 4: Drill the holes on gate supports through the slots in the lock bracket. U-bolts and saddles can be used to mount the lock on chain link gate supports. Secure the lock to the gate. Install clevis pin and locking cap by placing clevis pin through slots in lock receiver and hammering the clevis pin into the locking cap (see Illustration D), secure the lock bracket and check the alignment again.
