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 dual gates. Mounting the openers on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 38 if you intend to mount the openers on columns. Furthermore, if you have push-to-open gates, you will need to purchase two (2) push- to-open brackets (see Accessory Catalog) to properly configure your system. See Push to Open Installation on page 32 before proceeding.

Preparation of the Gate

Step 1

The gates must be plumb, level, and swing freely on their hinges. Wheels must not be attached to the gates. The gates must move throughout their 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 posts must be secured in the ground with concrete so they will minimize twist or flex when the openers are activated. We recommend you position the openers near the centerline of the gates to keep the gates from twisting and flexing. The addition of horizontal or vertical cross members (if they are not already in place) to provide a stable area for mounting the gate brackets is also important.
