Column Installation Information

IF THIS OPENER WILL BE USED WITH GATES THAT ARE MOUNTED ON

MASONRY, BRICK, OR ROCK (etc.) COLUMNS:

READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

A.The simplest solution is to install the opener in a push-to-open configuration (requires Push-To-Open Bracket, see Accessory Catalog). The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the opener will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the opener mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength.

B.If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the columns.

C.The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the opener and power cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!
