Before proceeding, begin with the gate in the fully closed position. There are two methods for determining the proper location of the post brackets:
•Paper template (located on the back page of this manual. Must be cut out.)
•Tape measure.
Either method will work depending on preference.
NOTE: Be sure gate is in the closed position before proceeding.
Template MethodPlace the template (provided on the back page) under the gate hinge point. Use a screwdriver or dowel rod to temporarily mark the location in front of the gate post.
