Installation Overview

Pull-to-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property)

The diagram shown below is an example of a pull-to-open installation on a chain link fence and single gate. Mounting the opener on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 39 if you intend to mount the opener on a column. Furthermore, if you have a push-to-open gate, you will need to purchase a push-to-open bracket (FM148) (see Accessory Catalog) to properly configure your system. See Push to Open Installation on page 33 before proceeding.

Preparation of the Gate

Step 1

The gate must be plumb, level, and swing freely on its hinges. Wheels must not be attached to the gate. The gate must move throughout its arc without binding or dragging on the ground. Note that gates over 250 lb. should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.

Step 2

The fence post must be secured in the ground with concrete so it will minimize twist or flex when the opener is activated. We recommend you position the opener near the centerline of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and flexing. The addition of a horizontal or vertical cross member (if one is not already in place) to provide a stable area for mounting the gate bracket is also important.
