Push-to-Open Installation

Determining The Mounting Position of The Post Bracket Assembly

Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas! Review IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A "Push-to-Open" gate opens out from the property. The operator is installed on this type of gate while in the closed (not open) position. Because every gate installation varies, the push-to-open installation of the GTO/PRO 2000 and GTO/PRO 2200 will need to be customized. In most cases this only requires drilling two new holes in the post bracket.

Step PTO-1:

The operator and brackets are installed on the gate post in the same way as pull-to-open installations. The post bracket is mounted at the inside edge of the post. The post pivot brackets are attached with one bolt at the pivot point and the operator(s) is attached at the rear mount. See pages 11-14, Steps 1-9 for details.

Open Position

Step PTO-2:

Find a position for the post pivot brackets where the operator has clearance in both the open and closed positions and clamp operator into position (see examples of clearance on page 15; step 10). Mark the point on the post pivot bracket where the 1/2" holes will need to be drilled. Drill the holes then secure the post pivot bracket using the 1/2" bolt, spacer, washer and lock nut.
