Push to Open Installation

Determining The Mounting Position of The Post Bracket Assembly

Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!

A "Push-to-Open" gate opens out from the property.

A Push-to-Open Bracket is required for this type of installation (see Accessory Catalog). If you have a pull-to-open gate (gate opens into the property), return to page 13; step 3.

In a PUSH-TO-OPEN installation the opener is installed while the gate is in the closed position.

Step 1

With the gate closed, adjust the post bracket assembly and the gate bracket until the opener is level. While holding the opener level, use C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.

3/8" Nut

IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for maximum clearance between the gate and the opener in both the open and closed positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the opener the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.

Step 2

After verifying that you have the best position

for the post pivot bracket, insert the 5/16" x 1 3/4" bolt through the aligned holes of the post bracket

and post pivot bracket and fasten it with the 5/16" washer and nut.

IMPORTANT: If you loosened the clamp on the post bracket to achieve the optimum position, tighten it in its new position and recheck the gate bracket with the gate in the open position (move the gate bracket and re-clamp it if necessary).
