3 MEASURING AND MARKING FOR THE GATE BRACKET

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 Method

Place 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.
